The ABMC feature 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.
Implement an x86 architecture-specific handler to configure a counter. This
architecture specific handler is called by resctrl fs when a counter is
assigned or unassigned as well as when an already assigned counter's
configuration should be updated. Configure counters by writing to the
L3_QOS_ABMC_CFG MSR, specifying the counter ID, bandwidth source (RMID),
and event configuration.
The ABMC feature details are documented in APM [1] available from [2].

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.
