Got it, thanks.
So how about adding a common macro like this:

#define PMU_EVENT_ATTR_ID(_name,_func, _id) \
(&((struct perf_pmu_events_attr[]) { \
{ .attr = __ATTR(_name, 0444, _func, NULL), \
.id = _id, } \
})[0].attr.attr)

Drivers could define thir private macro, like SMMU_PMU_EVENT_ATTR, and
use their private event_show() functions if they need, or use the common
function perf_event_sysfs_show().

Thanks,
Qi
