These events can be monitored using the 'perf(1)' tool. The contents of each file would look like: event=0xNNNN where 'N' is a hex digit and the number '0xNNNN' shows the "raw code" for the perf event identified by the file's "basename".

These events can be monitored using the 'perf(1)' tool. These events may not be supported by other CPUs. The contents of each file would look like: event=0xNNNN where 'N' is a hex digit and the number '0xNNNN' shows the "raw code" for the perf event identified by the file's "basename". Further, multiple terms like 'event=0xNNNN' can be specified and separated with comma. All available terms are defined in the /sys/bus/event_source/devices//format file.
