+Description: Generic performance monitoring events
+
+ A collection of performance monitoring events that may be
+ supported by many/most CPUs. These events can be monitored
+ using the 'perf(1)' tool.
+
+ The contents of each file would look like:
+
+ event=0xNNNN
+
+ where 'N' is a hex digit and the number '0xNNNN' shows the
+ "raw code" for the perf event identified by the file's
+ "basename".

+Description: POWER-systems specific performance monitoring events
+
+ A collection of performance monitoring events that may be
+ supported by the POWER CPU. These events can be monitored
+ using the 'perf(1)' tool.
+
+ These events may not be supported by other CPUs.
+
+ The contents of each file would look like:
+
+ event=0xNNNN
+
+ where 'N' is a hex digit and the number '0xNNNN' shows the
+ "raw code" for the perf event identified by the file's
+ "basename".
+
+ Further, multiple terms like 'event=0xNNNN' can be specified
+ and separated with comma. All available terms are defined in
+ the /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<dev>/format file.
