5 Description:
6                 Attribute group to describe the capabilities exposed
7                 for a particular pmu. Each attribute of this group can
8                 expose information specific to a PMU, say pmu_name, so that
9                 userspace can understand some of the feature which the
10                 platform specific PMU supports.
11
12                 One of the example available capability in supported platform
13                 like Intel is pmu_name, which exposes underlying CPU name known
14                 to the PMU driver.
