From: Robert Richter <robert.rich...@calxeda.com>
Expose persistent events in the system to userland using sysfs. Perf
tools are able to read existing pmu events from sysfs. Now we use a
persistent pmu as an event container containing all registered
persistent events of the system. This patch adds dynamically
registration of persistent events to sysfs. E.g. something like this:
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/persistent/events/mce_record:persistent,config=106
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/persistent/format/persistent:attr5:23
Perf tools need to support the attr<num> syntax that is added in a
separate patch set. With it we are able to run perf tool commands to
read persistent events, e.g.:
# perf record -e persistent/mce_record/ sleep 10
# perf top -e persistent/mce_record/
