The current "measurement_chars" CHPID sysfs attribute exposes only a limited, validity-filtered portion of data from the associated Channel- Measurements Characteristics Block (CMCB). New machine models add data that is relevant for userspace tooling to the "header"-portion of the CMCB. This data that is not currently accessible to userspace. To prevent having to add new sysfs attributes whenever a new bit of data is added to the CMCB "header", add a new sysfs attribute named "measurement_chars_full" that exposes the full, unfiltered CMCB.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
