+Description:	admin read only
+		This sysfs file exposes the system topology information by making HCALL
+		H_GET_PERF_COUNTER_INFO. The HCALL is made with counter request value
+		PROCESSOR_CONFIG(0x90).
+
+		* This sysfs file will be created only for power10 and above platforms.
+
+		* User needs root privileges to read data from this sysfs file.
+
+		* This sysfs file will be created, only when the HCALL returns "H_SUCCESS",
+		  "H_AUTHORITY" or "H_PARAMETER" as the return type.
+
+		  HCALL with return error type "H_AUTHORITY" can be resolved during
+		  runtime by setting "Enable Performance Information Collection" option.
+
+		* The end user reading this sysfs file must decode the content as per
+		  underlying platform/firmware.
+
+		Possible error codes while reading this sysfs file:
+
+		* "-EPERM" : Partition is not permitted to retrieve performance information,
+			    required to set "Enable Performance Information Collection" option.
+
+		* "-EIO" : Can't retrieve system information because of invalid buffer length/invalid address
+			   or because of some hardware error. Refer to getPerfCountInfo documentation for
+			   more information.
+
+		* "-EFBIG" : System information exceeds PAGE_SIZE.
