perf: Document the ABI of perf sysfs entries
This patchset addes two new sets of files to sysfs for POWER architecture. - perf event config format in /sys/devices/cpu/format/event - generic and POWER-specific perf events in /sys/devices/cpu/events/ The format of the first file is already documented in: sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-format Document the format of the second set of files '/sys/devices/cpu/events/*' which would also become part of the ABI. Changelog[v4]: [Jiri Olsa]: Mention that multiple event= like terms can be specified in the 'events' file. [Jiri Olsa]: Remove the documentation for the 'config format' file as it is already documented in 'Documentation/ABI/testing/'. [Jiri Olsa]: Move ABI documentation from 'stable/' to 'testing/' Changelog[v3]: [Greg KH] Include ABI documentation.
