+Description: Read-only. Attribute group to describe the magic bits
+ that go into perf_event_attr.config for a particular pmu.
+ (See ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-format).
+
+ Each attribute under this group defines a bit range of the
+ perf_event_attr.config. All supported attributes are listed
+ below::
+
+ counter_info_version = "config:16-23"
+ length = "config:24-31"
+ partition_id = "config:32-63"
+ request = "config:0-31"
+ sibling_part_id = "config:32-63"
+ hw_chip_id = "config:32-63"
+ offset = "config:32-63"
+ phys_processor_idx = "config:32-63"
+ secondary_index = "config:0-15"
+ starting_index = "config:32-63"
+
+ For example::
+
+ processor_core_utilization_instructions_completed = "request=0x94,
+ phys_processor_idx=?,counter_info_version=0x8,
+ length=8,offset=0x18"
+
+ In this event, '?' after phys_processor_idx specifies this value
+ this value will be provided by user while running this event.

+Description: admin read only
+ This sysfs file exposes the system topology information by making HCALL
+ H_GET_PERF_COUNTER_INFO. The HCALL is made with counter request value
+ PROCESSOR_BUS_TOPOLOGY(0xD0).
+
+ * This sysfs file will be created only for power10 and above platforms.
+
+ * User needs root privileges to read data from this sysfs file.
+
+ * This sysfs file will be created, only when the HCALL returns "H_SUCCESS",
+ "H_AUTHORITY" or "H_PARAMETER" as the return type.
+
+ HCALL with return error type "H_AUTHORITY" can be resolved during
+ runtime by setting "Enable Performance Information Collection" option.
+
+ * The end user reading this sysfs file must decode the content as per
+ underlying platform/firmware.
+
+ Possible error codes while reading this sysfs file:
+
+ * "-EPERM" : Partition is not permitted to retrieve performance information,
+ required to set "Enable Performance Information Collection" option.
+
+ * "-EIO" : Can't retrieve system information because of invalid buffer length/invalid address
+ or because of some hardware error. Refer to getPerfCountInfo documentation for
+ more information.
+
+ * "-EFBIG" : System information exceeds PAGE_SIZE.
