Subject: [PATCH V3 2/2] docs: ABI: sysfs-bus-event_source-devices: Document sysfs caps entry for PMU
Date: Fri, 20 May 2022 14:16:30 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220520084630.15181-2-atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220520084630.15181-1-atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Details is added about "caps" attribute group in the ABI documentation.
This is used to expose some of the PMU attributes in "caps"
directory under : /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<dev>/. The dev/caps
will contain information about features that platform specific PMU
supports.

+Description:
+ Attribute group to describe the capabilities exposed
+ for a particular pmu. Each attribute of this group can
+ expose information specific to a PMU, say pmu_name, so that
+ userspace can understand some of the feature which the
+ platform specific PMU supports.
+
+ One of the example available capability in supported platform
+ like Intel is pmu_name, which exposes underlying CPU name known
+ to the PMU driver.
+
+ Example output in powerpc:
+ grep . /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/*
+ /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name:POWER9
