When a user reads a monitor file rdtgroup_mondata_show() calls mon_event_read()
to package up all the required details into an rmid_read structure which is
passed across the smp_call*() infrastructure to code that will read data from
hardware and return the value (or error status) in the rmid_read structure.
Sub-NUMA Cluster (SNC) mode adds files with new semantics. These require the
smp_call-ed code to sum event data from all domains that share an L3 cache.
Add a pointer to the L3 "cacheinfo" structure to struct rmid_read for the data
collection routines to use to pick the domains to be summed.
[ Reinette: the rmid_read structure has become complex enough so document each
of its fields and provide the kerneldoc documentation for struct rmid_read. ]

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.
