+The struct perf_event_attr test (attr tests) support
+====================================================
+This testing support is embedded into perf directly and is governed
+by the PERF_TEST_ATTR environment variable and hook inside the
+sys_perf_event_open function.
+
+The general idea is to store 'struct perf_event_attr' details for
+each event created within single perf command. Each event details
+are stored into separate text file. Once perf command is finished
+these files are checked for values we expect for command.
+
+The attr tests consist of following parts:
+
+tests/attr.c
+------------
+This is the sys_perf_event_open hook implementation. The hook
+is triggered when the PERF_TEST_ATTR environment variable is
+defined. It must contain name of existing directory with access
+and write permissions.
+
+For each sys_perf_event_open call event details are stored in
+separate file. Besides 'struct perf_event_attr' values we also
+store 'fd' and 'group_fd' values to allow checking for groups.
+
+tests/attr.py
+-------------
+This is the python script that does all the hard work. It reads
+the test definition, executes it and checks results.
+
+tests/attr/
+-----------
+Directory containing all attr test definitions.
+Following tests are defined (with perf commands):
+
+ perf record kill (test-record-basic)
+ perf record -b kill (test-record-branch-any)
+ perf record -j any kill (test-record-branch-filter-any)
+ perf record -j any_call kill (test-record-branch-filter-any_call)
+ perf record -j any_ret kill (test-record-branch-filter-any_ret)
+ perf record -j hv kill (test-record-branch-filter-hv)
+ perf record -j ind_call kill (test-record-branch-filter-ind_call)
+ perf record -j k kill (test-record-branch-filter-k)
+ perf record -j u kill (test-record-branch-filter-u)
+ perf record -c 123 kill (test-record-count)
+ perf record -d kill (test-record-data)
+ perf record -F 100 kill (test-record-freq)
+ perf record -g -- kill (test-record-graph-default)
+ perf record -g dwarf -- kill (test-record-graph-dwarf)
+ perf record -g fp kill (test-record-graph-fp)
+ perf record --group -e cycles,instructions kill (test-record-group)
+ perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' kill (test-record-group1)
+ perf record -D kill (test-record-no-delay)
+ perf record -i kill (test-record-no-inherit)
+ perf record -n kill (test-record-no-samples)
+ perf record -c 100 -P kill (test-record-period)
+ perf record -R kill (test-record-raw)
+ perf stat -e cycles kill (test-stat-basic)
+ perf stat kill (test-stat-default)
+ perf stat -d kill (test-stat-detailed-1)
+ perf stat -dd kill (test-stat-detailed-2)
+ perf stat -ddd kill (test-stat-detailed-3)
+ perf stat --group -e cycles,instructions kill (test-stat-group)
+ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}' kill (test-stat-group1)
+ perf stat -i -e cycles kill (test-stat-no-inherit)
