- * The struct perf_event_attr test support.
- *
- * This test is embedded inside into perf directly and is governed
- * by the PERF_TEST_ATTR environment variable and hook inside
- * sys_perf_event_open function.
- *
- * The general idea is to store 'struct perf_event_attr' details for
- * each event created within single perf command. Each event details
- * are stored into separate text file. Once perf command is finished
- * these files can be checked for values we expect for command.
- *
- * Besides 'struct perf_event_attr' values we also store 'fd' and
- * 'group_fd' values to allow checking for groups created.
- *
- * This all is triggered by setting PERF_TEST_ATTR environment variable.
- * It must contain name of existing directory with access and write
- * permissions. All the event text files are stored there.
