Kajol Jain 22697da36d powerpc/kernel/sysfs: Add new config option PMU_SYSFS to enable PMU SPRs sysfs file creation
Many of the performance monitoring unit (PMU) SPRs are
exposed in the sysfs. This may not be a desirable since
"perf" API is the primary interface to program PMU and
collect counter data in the system. But that said, we
cant remove these sysfs files since we dont whether
anyone/anything is using them.

So the patch adds a new CONFIG option 'CONFIG_PMU_SYSFS'
(user selectable) to be used in sysfs file creation for
PMU SPRs. New option by default is disabled, but can be
enabled if user needs it.

Tested this patch behaviour in powernv and pseries machines.
Patch is also tested for pmac32_defconfig.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
