The driver exports formatting and event information to sysfs so it can be used by the perf user space tools with the syntax: perf stat -e l2cache/event=0x42/ One point to note is that there are certain combinations of events which are invalid, and which are detected in event_add(). Simply having event_add() fail would result in event_sched_in() making it Inactive, treating it as over-allocation of counters, leading to repeated attempts to allocate the events and ending up with a statistical count. A solution for this situation is to turn the conflicting event off in event_add(). This allows a single error message to be generated, and no recurring attempts to re-add the invalid event. In order for this to work, event_sched_in() needs to detect that event_add() changed the state, and not override it and force it to Inactive.
