There are only available with "-o debug" option. Please see: Documentation/process/maintainer-tip.rst "It's also useful to structure the changelog into several paragraphs and not lump everything together into a single one. A good structure is to explain the context, the problem and the solution in separate paragraphs and this order." > > Add CLOSID(ctrl_hw_id) and RMID(mon_hw_id) to the control/monitor groups Please highlight that CLOSID and RMID are x86 concepts. > display in resctrl interface. > $cat /sys/fs/resctrl/clos1/clos_hw_id > 1 This example does not match what the patch does (clos_hw_id -> ctrl_hw_id). I also think this change would be more palatable (to non x86 audience) if the example resource group has a generic (non-x86 concept) name. > $cat /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_groups/mon1/mon_hw_id > 3 > > Signed-off-by: Babu Moger <babu.moger@xxxxxxx> > --- > Documentation/x86/resctrl.rst | 17 ++++++++++++ > arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c | 44 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 2 files changed, 61 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/Documentation/x86/resctrl.rst b/Documentation/x86/resctrl.rst > index be443251b484..5aff8c2beb08 100644 > --- a/Documentation/x86/resctrl.rst > +++ b/Documentation/x86/resctrl.rst > @@ -345,6 +345,14 @@ When control is enabled all CTRL_MON groups will also contain: > file.

Please keep other content from the documentation in mind when making this change. CLOSID is already documented, including the fact that it is a limited resource. Please see content under: "Notes on cache occupancy monitoring and control" where it, for example, states that "The number of CLOSid and RMID are limited by the hardware." Considering this the above could just read: "Available only with debug option. The identifier used by hardware for the control group. On x86 this is the CLOSID." Similar feedback to the "mon_hw_id" portion. Reinette
