The ".function" postfix can only be attached to values of size long, and can only
be compared with "==" or "!=".
+Cpumask fields or scalar fields that encode a CPU number can be filtered using
+a user-provided cpumask in cpulist format. The format is as follows::
+
+ CPUS{$cpulist}
+
+Operators available to cpumask filtering are:
+
+& (intersection), ==, !=
+
+For example, this will filter events that have their .target_cpu field present
+in the given cpumask::
+
+ target_cpu & CPUS{17-42}
