Subject: [PATCH v9 6/6] RISC-V: hwprobe: Document unaligned vector perf key
Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2024 11:24:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240820152424.1973078-7-jesse@rivosinc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240820152424.1973078-1-jesse@rivosinc.com>
Document key for reporting the speed of unaligned vector accesses.
The descriptions are the same as the scalar equivalent values.
Signed-off-by: Jesse Taube <jesse@rivosinc.com>
