  Perf supports a small set of so-called "generic" PMU events like "cycles", 
  "instructions" etc. But most CPUs support a wide variety of events, several
  closely related to run cycles or instructions or branches etc. For performance
  analysis it would be useful to know precisely which PMU event is being
  monitored by a generic event. This feature is to design/implement a mechanism
  to display the precise raw event codes for the generic events in a suitable
  file in sysfs.

  Following is a posting of the small patch set to the community

  Any new news from maintainer? When is deemed too late to try to get this in 16.04? Feature freeze is passed. Kernel freeze is 4/07. Will this target 16.04.1/16.10?
