Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] perf/x86: Use sysfs_emit() in show() callback function

The patch set proposes to replace use of sprintf family function usage for
formatting data to be returned to the user space using show callback functions.

The modified files have the same maintainer list though they correspond to
different drivers. Since its the same, I clubbed these into a patch set. If this
is not correct, I can send in individual driver specific patches.

Changes in v2:
   1. Update the patch log message to provide details on the problem associated
      with current implementation and how the proposal is a better solution.
      Feedback provided by Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>
