Subject: [PATCH v3 2/6] perf Document: Sysfs event names must be lower or upper case
Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2024 13:02:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240429200225.1271876-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240429200225.1271876-1-irogers@google.com>

To avoid directory scans in perf it is going to be assumed that sysfs
event names are either lower or upper case.
