That's not a valid sysfs path. Did you mean /sys/bus/nd/devices/nmemX?

Given these events are in the generic namespace the ABI documentation
should be generic as well. So I think move these entries to
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-nvdimm directly.

You can still mention papr-scm, but I would expect something like:

What: /sys/bus/nd/devices/nmemX/events
Date: September 2021
KernelVersion: 5.16
Contact: Kajol Jain <[email protected]>
Description:
(RO) Attribute group to describe performance monitoring events
for the nvdimm memory device. Each attribute in this group
describes a single performance monitoring event supported by
this nvdimm pmu. The name of the file is the name of the event.
(See ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-events). A
listing of the events supported by a given nvdimm provider type
can be found in Documentation/driver-api/nvdimm/$provider, for
example: Documentation/driver-api/nvdimm/papr-scm.

Seems this one would be provider generic, so no need to refer to PPC
specific concepts like HCALLs.

Hi Dan,
Thanks, I will correct it and update it to `/sys/bus/event_source/devices/`
where perf creates sysfs files for given pmu.
