There were various perf_event related sysfs entries in the
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/*/ directories that were not
documented.

This is version 2 with fixes suggested by Jiri Olsa.

+Description:	This value holds a representative core for each
+		socket in a system.  It is meant to help when
+		creating a perf_event event for socket-wide events
+		like uncore and northbridge events.
+
+		The format is a comma separated list of cpu numbers,
+		one for each socket in the system that the PMU in
+		question can run on.
+
+		For example, on a two-socket Sandybridge-EP machine and
+		the cbox0 uncore the value of the file will be:
+			0,8

+Description:	Indicates whether a CPU allows userspace "rdpmc"
+		instructions (unprivileged reads of the performance
+		counter MSRs).
+
+		You can echo 0 to this value to disable user rdpmc

+Description:	This value holds the PMU (Performance Monitor Unit) type
+		value that is passed into the perf_event_open()
+		attr:type field when opening an event.
+
+		The value is a decimal integer.
