Command 'perf list pmu' displays events which contain an invalid string "(null)=xxx", where xxx is the pmu event name, for example: cpum_cf/AES_BLOCKED_CYCLES,(null)=AES_BLOCKED_CYCLES/ This is not correct, the invalid string should not be displayed at all. It is caused by an obsolete term in the sysfs attribute file for each s390 CPUMF counter event. Reading from the sysfs file also displays the event name. Fix this by omitting the event name. This patch makes s390 CPUMF sysfs files consistent with other plattforms. This is an interface change between user and kernel but does not break anything. Reading from a counter event sysfs file should only list terms mentioned in the /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<cpumf>/format directory. Name is not listed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
