| Description: |
| Attribute group to describe the capabilities exposed |
| for a particular pmu. Each attribute of this group can |
| expose information specific to a PMU, say pmu_name, so that |
| userspace can understand some of the feature which the |
| platform specific PMU supports. |
| |
| One of the example available capability in supported platform |
| like Intel is pmu_name, which exposes underlying CPU name known |
| to the PMU driver. |
| |
| Example output in powerpc: |
| grep . /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/* |
| /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name:POWER9 |
