Thanks for the review. Here is the updated patch. --- >From 1e3cc6b3ef87f533985b10574af472361e39eecd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2013 22:31:49 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Document the ABI of perf sysfs entries This patchset addes two new sets of files to sysfs for POWER architecture. - perf event config format in /sys/devices/cpu/format/event - generic and POWER-specific perf events in /sys/devices/cpu/events/ The format of the first file is already documented in: sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-format Document the format of the second set of files '/sys/devices/cpu/events/*' which would also become part of the ABI. Changelog[v3.2]: (small changes to this one patch). [Jiri Olsa]: Mention that multiple event= like terms can be specified in the 'events' file. Changelog[v3.1]: (small changes to just this one patch). [Jiri Olsa]: Remove the documentation for the 'config format' file as it is already documented in 'Documentation/ABI/testing/'. [Jiri Olsa]: Move the documentation of 'events' also to 'testing' from 'stable'. Changelog[v3]: [Greg KH] Include ABI documentation.
