+Description: Performance Monitoring Unit (<pmu>)
+
+ Each <pmu> directory, for a PMU device, is a name
+ optionally followed by an underscore and then either a
+ decimal or hexadecimal number. For example, cpu is a
+ PMU name without a suffix as is intel_bts,
+ uncore_imc_0 is a PMU name with a 0 numeric suffix,
+ ddr_pmu_87e1b0000000 is a PMU name with a hex
+ suffix. The hex suffix must be more than two
+ characters long to avoid ambiguity with PMUs like the
+ S390 cpum_cf.
+
+ Tools can treat PMUs with the same name that differ by
+ suffix as instances of the same PMU for the sake of,
+ for example, opening an event. For example, the PMUs
+ uncore_imc_free_running_0 and
+ uncore_imc_free_running_1 have an event data_read;
+ opening the data_read event on a PMU specified as
+ uncore_imc_free_running should be treated as opening
+ the data_read event on PMU uncore_imc_free_running_0
+ and PMU uncore_imc_free_running_1.
