Subject: [PATCH v6 30/30] x86,fs/resctrl: Update Documentation for package events
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2025 09:49:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250626164941.106341-31-tony.luck@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250626164941.106341-1-tony.luck@intel.com>

Each "mon_data" directory is now divided between L3 events and package
events.

The "info/PERF_PKG_MON" directory contains parameters for perf events.
