5Description:
6 Attribute group to describe the magic bits that go into
7 perf_event_attr::config[012] for a particular pmu.
8 Each attribute of this group defines the 'hardware' bitmask
9 we want to export, so that userspace can deal with sane
10 name/value pairs.
11
12 Userspace must be prepared for the possibility that attributes
13 define overlapping bit ranges. For example::
14
15 attr1 = 'config:0-23'
16 attr2 = 'config:0-7'
17 attr3 = 'config:12-35'
18
19 Example: 'config1:1,6-10,44'
20 Defines contents of attribute that occupies bits 1,6-10,44 of
21 perf_event_attr::config1.
