[PATCH v8 24/32] x86/resctrl: Add energy/perf choices to rdt boot option
Posted by Tony Luck 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Legacy resctrl features are enumerated by X86_FEATURE_* flags. These
may be overridden by quirks to disable features in the case of errata.

Users can use kernel command line options to either disable a feature,
or to force enable a feature that was disabled by a quirk.

Provide similar functionality for hardware features that do not have an
X86_FEATURE_* flag.

Unlike other features that are tied to X86_FEATURE_* flags, these must be
queried by name. Add rdt_is_feature_enabled() to check whether quirks
or kernel command line have disabled a feature. Just like the legacy
features the command line enable overrides quirk disable.

I am not able to parse the last sentence.
