Erk. Two things:
- Is str const or not? If you're treating it as const here, should you
pass that through the function signature?
- Who is responsible for the memory behind it? It looks like a caller
can't construct str dynamically, pass it to this function and then free
it, because that will invalidate attr->event_str. Is this documented?

If you're returning the address of attr->attr.attr, then:
- why don't you just deal directly with struct attribute * in the
function? Why an entire struct perf_pmu_events_attr *?
- with the function as written, if you return just &attr->attr.attr,
don't attr->event_str and attr->attr.show get lost?

I'm very confused by what this function is trying to do. Could you add
some comments? I'm particularly confused by the relationship between
attrs and attr_group.
