+KernelVersion:	5.10
+Contact:	"Shravan Kumar Ramani <shravankr@...dia.com>"
+Description:
+		Event monitored by corresponding counter. This is used to

+		being monitored by counter<N>.

+Description:
+		Counter value of the event being monitored. This is used to
+		read the counter value of the event which was programmed using
+		event<N>. This is also used to clear or reset the counter value
+		by writing 0 to the counter sysfs.

+Description:
+		Start or stop counters. This is used to start the counters
+		for monitoring the programmed events and also to stop the
+		counters after the desired duration. Writing value 1 will
+		start all the counters in the block, and writing 0 will
+		stop all the counters together.

+Description:
+		Value of register. This is used to read or reset the registers
+		where various performance statistics are counted for each block.
+		Writing 0 to the sysfs will clear the counter, writing any other
+		value is not allowed.
