For example, > resctrl_val.c:measure_vals() converts to megabytes before proceeding. Doesn't the use case inside resctrl_val.c:measure_vals() satisfy the idea of only displaying data to the user space? From my understanding it reads the number of bytes and only converts to MB when printing the value.
