resctrl_arch..._config_read(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸŽ€ resctrl_arch..._config_read(9) β€” from the Kernel API Manual πŸŽ€

okay bestie, buckle up, because we're reading the config for an event and honestly? it's giving "small function, big responsibilities" ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

resctrl_arch_mon_event_config_read β€” literally just reads the config for an event. that's it. that's the vibe πŸ’…


πŸ’– SYNOPSIS πŸ’–

void resctrl_arch_mon_event_config_read (void *config_info );

(the space before the closing paren is canonical, do not come for it πŸ™ˆ)


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • config_info β€” a struct resctrl_mon_config_info that's out here describing the resource, the domain, and the event. like a little trio. a friend group. the whole context, basically 🫢

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea πŸ”₯ β€” this function reads resource, domain, and eventid from config_info, then reads the hardware config value into config_info->mon_config. in and out. very main character energy πŸ‘‘

and the way it gets called?? via IPI β€” an inter-processor interrupt, no cap β€” so it can reach a CPU that's a member of the specified domain. you can't just waltz up to any CPU, you have to summon the right one 😭 it's giving long-distance relationship with a specific core.

heads up bestie: the CPU you land on must be a member of the domain you specified. that's the whole plot. iykyk πŸ’€

πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

like, the entire friend group 🫢 β€” all of these live in the kernel file ./include/linux/resctrl.h:

(yes, resctrl_arch_mon_event_config_write is right there. she's the twin sister. read/write duo. iconic πŸŽ€)


okay that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that πŸ“πŸ’…

sign-off szn πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈ: this little icon lives in ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and yes, the manual page itself literally calls itself resctrl_arch..._config_read(9) β€” the ellipsis is part of the name, she's mysterious like that πŸŒˆπŸ’œ
