- Description: Generic performance monitoring events
- A collection of performance monitoring events that may be
- supported by many/most CPUs. These events can be monitored
- using the 'perf(1)' tool.
- The contents of each file would look like:
- event=0xNNNN
- where 'N' is a hex digit and the number '0xNNNN' shows the
- "raw code" for the perf event identified by the file's
- "basename".

- Description: Per-pmu performance monitoring events specific to the running system
- Each file (except for some of those with a '.' in them, '.unit'
- and '.scale') in the 'events' directory describes a single
- performance monitoring event supported by the <pmu>. The name
- of the file is the name of the event.
- File contents:
- <term>[=<value>][,<term>[=<value>]]...
- Where <term> is one of the terms listed under
- /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<pmu>/format/ and <value> is
- a number is base-16 format with a '0x' prefix (lowercase only).
- If a <term> is specified alone (without an assigned value), it
- is implied that 0x1 is assigned to that <term>.
- Examples (each of these lines would be in a seperate file):
- event=0x2abc
- event=0x423,inv,cmask=0x3
- domain=0x1,offset=0x8,starting_index=0xffff
- domain=0x1,offset=0x8,core=?
- Each of the assignments indicates a value to be assigned to a
- particular set of bits (as defined by the format file
- corresponding to the <term>) in the perf_event structure passed
- to the perf_open syscall.
- In the case of the last example, a value replacing "?" would
- need to be provided by the user selecting the particular event.
- This is referred to as "event parameterization". Event
- parameters have the format 'param=?'.

- Date: 2014/02/24
- Contact: Linux kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>
- Description: Perf event units
- A string specifying the English plural numerical unit that <event>
- (once multiplied by <event>.scale) represents.
- Example:
- Joules
- What: /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<pmu>/events/<event>.scale
- Date: 2014/02/24
- Contact: Linux kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>
- Description: Perf event scaling factors
- A string representing a floating point value expressed in
- scientific notation to be multiplied by the event count
- recieved from the kernel to match the unit specified in the
- <event>.unit file.
- Example:
- 2.3283064365386962890625e-10
- This is provided to avoid performing floating point arithmetic
- in the kernel.
