Hi all,
This series does a number of cleanups into resctrl_val() and
generalizes it by removing test name specific handling from the
function.
One of the changes improves MBA/MBM measurement by narrowing down the
period the resctrl FS derived memory bandwidth numbers are measured
over. My feel is it didn't cause noticeable difference into the numbers
because they're generally good anyway except for the small number of
outliers. To see the impact on outliers, I'd need to setup a test to
run large number of replications and do a statistical analysis, which
I've not spent my time on. Even without the statistical analysis, the
new way to measure seems obviously better and makes sense even if I
cannot see a major improvement with the setup I'm using.
This series has some conflicts with SNC series from Maciej and also
with the MBA/MBM series from Babu.
