The "mbm_event" counter assignment mode allows users to assign a hardware counter to an RMID, event pair and monitor bandwidth usage as long as it is assigned. The hardware continues to track the assigned counter until it is explicitly unassigned by the user. Counters are assigned/unassigned at monitoring domain level. Manage a monitoring domain's hardware counters using a per monitoring domain array of struct mbm_cntr_cfg that is indexed by the hardware counter ID. A hardware counter's configuration contains the MBM event ID and points to the monitoring group that it is assigned to, with a NULL pointer meaning that the hardware counter is available for assignment. There is no direct way to determine which hardware counters are assigned to a particular monitoring group. Check every entry of every hardware counter configuration array in every monitoring domain to query which MBM events of a monitoring group is tracked by hardware. Such queries are acceptable because of a very small number of assignable counters (32 to 64).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
