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.

- directories have one file per event (e.g. "llc_occupancy",
- "mbm_total_bytes", and "mbm_local_bytes"). In a MON group these

- MON groups. Please see example section for more details on usage.

+ "core_energy" reports a floating point number for the energy

+
+ "activity" also reports a floating point value (in Farads).
+ This provides an estimate of work done independent of the
+ frequency that the cores used for execution.

+ All other events report decimal integer values.

On systems with Sub-NUMA Cluster (SNC) enabled there are extra
directories for each node (located within the "mon_L3_XX" directory
for the L3 cache they occupy). These are named "mon_sub_L3_YY"
