+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
+               AFFINITY_DOMAIN_INFORMATION_BY_VIRTUAL_PROCESSOR(0xA0).
+
+               * 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.
