So I asked you about this before, and you pointed me to
perf_event_sysfs_show. Looking at that in kernel/events/core.c, it looks
like that uses container_of to pull out the perf_pmu_events_attr. So I
guess that is at least mostly correct.
I'm hoping something else uses container_of to pull out attr->attr, so
that they can actually grab the attr->attr.show function pointer, so
that perf_event_sysfs_show actually gets called. Where would that be?

I am super uncomfortable with this block, especially the assignment to
attrs. I *think* you're trying to allocate an attribute group and a set
of attributes, but you've combined the allocation into one big
contiguous chunk, and then you're trying to tease them apart. Is that
necessary? Could it be two allocs, one for the attribute_group and one
for the attribute?
