What: /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<dev>/caps
Date: May 2022
KernelVersion: 5.19
Contact: Linux kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>
Description:
Attribute group to describe the capabilities exposed
for a particular pmu. Each attribute of this group can
expose information specific to a PMU, say pmu_name, so that
userspace can understand some of the feature which the
platform specific PMU supports.
One of the example available capability in supported platform
like Intel is pmu_name, which exposes underlying CPU name known
to the PMU driver.
Example output in powerpc:
grep . /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/*
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name:POWER9
