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.

Yes. Valid point. str should be and it is const. My bad, will fix the
function
signature.

Kindly have should look at perf_event_sysfs_show function in
include/linux/perf_event.h.
Even though we return only &attr->attr.attr, we are not freeing the
memory of
perf_pmu_event_attr, hence will not be lost :) .

This function mainly creates a "event" attribute group for this PMU.
It does so with the list of event files parsed from the device tree
for this pmu in the nest_pmu_create function.

WIll add comments in the next version.
