I suggest to clarify this view a bit more also according to statements like the following. 1. https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.8-rc2/source/kernel/events/core.c#L11532 perf_pmu_register: … pmu->name = name; … 2. https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.8-rc2/source/kernel/events/core.c#L11472 pmu_dev_alloc: … ret = dev_set_name(pmu->dev, "%s", pmu->name); … Regards, Markus
