[PATCH 6/6][v3] perf: Document the ABI of perf sysfs entries This patchset addes two new sets of files to sysfs: - generic and POWER-specific perf events in /sys/devices/cpu/events/ - perf event config format in /sys/devices/cpu/format/event Document the format of these files which would become part of the ABI. Changelog[v3]: [Greg KH] Include ABI documentation.
