Add caps support under "/sys/bus/event_source/devices/<pmu>/" for powerpc. This directory can be used to expose some of the specific features that powerpc PMU supports to the user. Example: pmu_name. The name of PMU registered will depend on platform, say power9 or power10 or it could be Generic Compat PMU. Currently the only way to know which is the registered PMU is from the dmesg logs. But clearing the dmesg will make it difficult to know exact PMU backend used. And even extracting from dmesg will be complicated, as we need to parse the dmesg logs and add filters for pmu name. Whereas by exposing it via caps will make it easy as we just need to directly read it from the sysfs. Add a caps directory to /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/ for power8, power9, power10 and generic compat PMU in respective PMU driver code. Update the pmu_name file under caps folder in core-book3s using "attr_update". The information exposed currently: - pmu_name : Underlying PMU name from the driver Example result with power9 pmu: # ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps pmu_name # cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name POWER9 Signed-off-by: Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220520084630.15181-1-atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
