+Description:    Read-only. Attribute group to describe the magic bits
+                that go into perf_event_attr.config for a particular pmu.
+                (See ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-format).
+
+                Each attribute under this group defines a bit range of the
+                perf_event_attr.config. All supported attributes are listed
+                below.
+
+                               counter_info_version  = "config:16-23"
+                               length  = "config:24-31"
+                               partition_id  = "config:32-63"
+                               request = "config:0-31"
+                               sibling_part_id = "config:32-63"
+                               hw_chip_id = "config:32-63"
+                               offset = "config:32-63"
+                               phys_processor_idx = "config:32-63"
+                               secondary_index = "config:0-15"
+                               starting_index = "config:32-63"
+
+               For example,
+
+               processor_core_utilization_instructions_completed = "request=0x94,
+                                       phys_processor_idx=?,counter_info_version=0x8,
+                                       length=8,offset=0x18"
+
+               In this event, '?' after phys_processor_idx specifies this value
+               this value will be provided by user while running this event.
