4Description:    Read-only. Attribute group to describe the magic bits
5                that go into perf_event_attr.config for a particular pmu.
6                (See ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-format).
7
8                Each attribute under this group defines a bit range of the
9                perf_event_attr.config. All supported attributes are listed
10                below::
11
12				chip = "config:16-31"
13				core  = "config:16-31"
14				domain = "config:0-3"
15				lpar = "config:0-15"
16				offset = "config:32-63"
17				vcpu = "config:16-31"
18
19                For example::
20
21		  PM_PB_CYC =  "domain=1,offset=0x80,chip=?,lpar=0x0"
22
23		In this event, '?' after chip specifies that
24		this value will be provided by user while running this event.

29Description:
30		Provides access to the binary "24x7 catalog" provided by the
31		hypervisor on POWER7 and 8 systems. This catalog lists events
32		available from the powerpc "hv_24x7" pmu. Its format is
33		documented here:

81Description:
82		Provides the description of a particular event as provided by
83		the firmware. If firmware does not provide a description, no
84		file will be created.
