From 4a7a54a55e7237386cacc73f173e74329773ac93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2018 13:06:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/intel_rdt: Disable PMU access Peter is objecting to the direct PMU access in RDT. Right now the PMU usage is broken anyway as it is not coordinated with perf. Until this discussion settled, disable the PMU mechanics by simply rejecting the type '2' measurement in the resctrl file.
