Resctrl exposes schemata to user-space, which allow the control values
to be specified for a group of tasks.
User-visible properties of the interface, (such as the schemata names
and how the values are parsed) are rooted in a struct provided by the
architecture code. (struct rdt_hw_resource). Once a second architecture
uses resctrl, this would allow user-visible properties to diverge
between architectures.
These properties should come from the resctrl code that will be common
to all architectures. Resctrl has no per-schema structure, only struct
rdt_{hw_,}resource. Create a struct resctrl_schema to hold the
rdt_resource. Before a second architecture can be supported, this
structure will also need to hold the schema name visible to user-space
and the type of configuration values for resctrl.

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 Restructured Text 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.
