Description: Read-only. Attribute group to describe the magic bits
that go into perf_event_attr.config for a particular pmu.
(See ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-format).
Each attribute under this group defines a bit range of the
perf_event_attr.config. All supported attributes are listed
below::
counter_info_version = "config:16-23"
length = "config:24-31"
partition_id = "config:32-63"
request = "config:0-31"
sibling_part_id = "config:32-63"
hw_chip_id = "config:32-63"
offset = "config:32-63"
phys_processor_idx = "config:32-63"
secondary_index = "config:0-15"
starting_index = "config:32-63"
For example::
processor_core_utilization_instructions_completed = "request=0x94,
phys_processor_idx=?,counter_info_version=0x8,
length=8,offset=0x18"
In this event, '?' after phys_processor_idx specifies this value
this value will be provided by user while running this event.

Description:
'0' if the hypervisor is configured to forbid access to event
counters being accumulated by other guests and to physical
domain event counters.
'1' if that access is allowed.

This sysfs file exposes the system topology information by making HCALL
H_GET_PERF_COUNTER_INFO. The HCALL is made with counter request value
PROCESSOR_BUS_TOPOLOGY(0xD0).
* This sysfs file will be created only for power10 and above platforms.
* User needs root privileges to read data from this sysfs file.
* This sysfs file will be created, only when the HCALL returns "H_SUCCESS",
"H_AUTHORITY" or "H_PARAMETER" as the return type.
HCALL with return error type "H_AUTHORITY" can be resolved during
runtime by setting "Enable Performance Information Collection" option.
* The end user reading this sysfs file must decode the content as per
underlying platform/firmware.
Possible error codes while reading this sysfs file:
* "-EPERM" : Partition is not permitted to retrieve performance information,
required to set "Enable Performance Information Collection" option.
* "-EIO" : Can't retrieve system information because of invalid buffer length/invalid address
or because of some hardware error. Refer to getPerfCountInfo documentation for
more information.
* "-EFBIG" : System information exceeds PAGE_SIZE.
