Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Documentation: x86: Contiguous cbm isn't all X86
Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2019 16:14:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190607151409.15476-2-james.morse@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190607151409.15476-1-james.morse@arm.com>
Since commit 4d05bf71f157 ("x86/resctrl: Introduce AMD QOS feature")
resctrl has supported non-contiguous cache bit masks. The interface
for this is currently try-it-and-see.
Update the documentation to say Intel CPUs have this requirement,
instead of X86.
