While reviewing this I noticed:

int perf_pmu__caps_parse(struct perf_pmu *pmu)
{
        struct stat st;
        char caps_path[PATH_MAX];
        const char *sysfs = sysfs__mountpoint();
        DIR *caps_dir;
        struct dirent *evt_ent;
        int nr_caps = 0;

        if (!sysfs)
                return -1;

        snprintf(caps_path, PATH_MAX,
                 "%s" EVENT_SOURCE_DEVICE_PATH "%s/caps", sysfs, pmu->name);

        if (stat(caps_path, &st) < 0)
                return 0;       /* no error if caps does not exist */

------------------------

Shouldn't we introduce a:

const int perf__pmu_pathname_scnprintf(struct perf_pmu *pmu, char *pathname, size_t size, char *filename)
{

	return scnprintf(pathname, size, "%s" EVENT_SOURCE_DEVICE_PATH "%s/%s", sysfs, pmu->name, filename);
}

And use in your perf_pmu__file_exists() and in the other places where
this open coded pattern appears?

I'm waiting for reviews for the ARM specific bits.
