When enabled > on a HW thread, when the thread enters Privilege-Level Zero, transactions Could you please use consistent terminology throughout this series? This patch uses "HW thread"/"thread", the next patch then switches to "logical processor", and then by patch #4 the term seems to settle on "CPU". Could this just be "CPU" from here and throughout series to be consistent and easier to read? What is meant with "transactions"? Is this just about memory transactions? Using this term combined with earlier "memory bandwidth" related problem description hints that this feature just impacts memory bandwidth allocation but from what I understand this impacts all allocation (CLOSID of all resources) and monitoring. Could "transactions" be replaced with "allocation and monitoring" and be more accurate? > associated with that thread will be associated with the PLZA CLOSID and/or > RMID.
