Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] Documentation/powerpc: Add details about llc_override
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 18:46:46 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023131646.2907938-5-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023131646.2907938-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com>

Provide documentation for the newly introduced llc_override kernel
parameter.

This may help one if they want to experiment with cache aware
scheduling on powerpc.
