Hi Arnaldo,

I can certainly add the reference to section "12.9 Events" of the ARM Cortex -A53 MPCore Processor Revision: r0p4 Technical Reference Manual to the patch.  That would be useful for people to know where to look for additional information about the events.

Unlike the Intel processors there isn't a script that automatically generated these files. The patch was manually generated from the documentation and the previous oprofile ARM Cortex ac53 event file patch I made.
