Make Power7 events available via sysfs, by Runzhen Wang. So we're really going to add 100+ Power7 events to the stable sysfs ABI? Are all the new events listed under the sysfs ABI documentation? Are we going to add all of the x86 events too, adding 100kB of unswappable event listings to every user's kernel whether they use perf_event or not? Yes, I know I am a broken record on this issue, but I don't feel like anyone has clarified the future plans here.
