16Performance Monitoring Data
17
18These data files describe the performance monitoring events that
19different CPUs support. This data is provided by Intel at
20https://download.01.org/perfmon/. This data is transformed into manual
21pages and C files that are used to implement the kernel performance
22monitoring interfaces. Currently a subset of the events are supported.
23For more information, see the cpcgen tool.
