[PATCH v3 2/2] perf,x86: skip intel_cqm_stable if CMT is not present in a CPU model

From: Kanaka Juvva
Date: Sat Aug 08 2015 - 03:34:50 EST


CMT and MBM are complementary technologies. One technology doesn't
imply the other technology. If CMT is not present in your CPU model
intel_cqm_stable() won't be called when computing a free RMID. This
is because, LLC_OCCUPANCY reading in this case doesn't apply and
shouldn't be used a criteria for freeing or picking an RMID.
