Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 11/12] tools/power turbostat: Fix /dev/cpu_dma_latency warnings
Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2023 16:02:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230322200207.1997367-11-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230322200207.1997367-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 40aafc7d58d3544f152a863a0e9863014b6d5d8c ]

When running as non-root the following error is seen in turbostat:

turbostat: fopen /dev/cpu_dma_latency
: Permission denied

turbostat and the man page have information on how to avoid other
permission errors, so these can be fixed the same way.

Provide better /dev/cpu_dma_latency warnings that provide instructions on
how to avoid the error, and update the man page.
