Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] perf Document: Capture that sysfs event names must be lower case
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2024 20:17:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240423031719.1941141-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240423031719.1941141-1-irogers@google.com>
To avoid directory scans in perf it is going to be assumed that sysfs
event names are lower case.
