What: /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ Date: 2014/02/24 Contact: Linux kernel mailing list Description: Performance Monitoring Unit () Each directory, for a PMU device, is a name optionally followed by an underscore and then either a decimal or hexadecimal number. For example, cpu is a PMU name without a suffix as is intel_bts, uncore_imc_0 is a PMU name with a 0 numeric suffix, ddr_pmu_87e1b0000000 is a PMU name with a hex suffix. The hex suffix must be more than two characters long to avoid ambiguity with PMUs like the S390 cpum_cf. Tools can treat PMUs with the same name that differ by suffix as instances of the same PMU for the sake of, for example, opening an event. For example, the PMUs uncore_imc_free_running_0 and uncore_imc_free_running_1 have an event data_read; opening the data_read event on a PMU specified as uncore_imc_free_running should be treated as opening the data_read event on PMU uncore_imc_free_running_0 and PMU uncore_imc_free_running_1.
