Hi Babu,

Introduce interface to switch between ABMC and legacy_mbm modes.

shortlog and first sentence of changelog do not match: mbm_legacy vs legacy_mbm?


By default ABMC is enabled on resctrl mount if the feature is available.
However, user will have the option to go back to legacy_mbm if required.

$ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign
[abmc]
mbm_legacy

To enable the legacy monitoring feature:
$ echo  "mbm_legacy" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign

Missing information about user visible impact to counters/events
and any mitigations needed in implementation.

v4: Minor commit text changes. Keep the default to ABMC when supported.

v3: New patch to address the review comments from upstream.
