2013-05-29	perf: Expand definition of sysfs format attribute	Michael Ellerman
	Make it explicit that the format attributes may define overlapping bit ranges. Unfortunately this was left unspecified originally, and all the examples show non-overlapping ranges. I don't believe this is an ABI change, as we are defining something that was previously undefined, but others may disagree. The POWER8 PMU would like to define overlapping ranges, as bit ranges in the event code have different meanings for certain events. It will also allow us to define an overarching "event" field, that encompasses all others. As far as I can see perf is comfortable with this change, however I am not sure if there are any other users of the interface.

2012-03-16	perf: Adding sysfs group format attribute for pmu device	Jiri Olsa
	Adding sysfs group 'format' attribute for pmu device that contains a syntax description on how to construct raw events. The event configuration is described in following struct pefr_event_attr attributes: config config1 config2 Each sysfs attribute within the format attribute group, describes mapping of name and bitfield definition within one of above attributes. eg: "/sys/...<dev>/format/event" contains "config:0-7" "/sys/...<dev>/format/umask" contains "config:8-15" "/sys/...<dev>/format/usr" contains "config:16" the attribute value syntax is: line: config ':' bits config: 'config' \| 'config1' \| 'config2" bits: bits ',' bit_term \| bit_term bit_term: VALUE '-' VALUE \| VALUE Adding format attribute definitions for x86 cpu pmus.
