It is intended for supporting cases where the single 'cpu' parameter is insufficient. For example, POWER 8 has events for physical sockets/cores/cpus that are accessible from with virtual machines. To keep using the single 'cpu' parameter we'd need to perform a mapping between Linux's cpus and the physical machine's cpus (in this case Linux is running under a hypervisor). This isn't possible because bindings between our cpus and physical cpus may not be fixed, and we probably won't have a "cpu" on each physical cpu. Description of the sysfs contents when events are parameterized (copied from an included patch): Examples: domain=0x1,offset=0x8,core=? 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". Notes on how perf-list displays parameterized events PARAMETERIZED EVENTS -------------------- Some pmu events listed by 'perf list' will be displayed with '=?' in them. For example: hv_24x7/HPM_THREAD_NAP_CCYC__PHYS_CORE,core=?/ This means that when provided as an event, a value for ? must also be supplied. For example: perf stat -e \ 'hv_24x7/HPM_THREAD_NAP_CCYC__PHYS_CORE,core=2' ...
