Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix outdated and add docs
Date: Thu, 16 May 2024 23:42:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240516214235.14770-1-cavenati.marco@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch adds docs for the TOPA_SHIFT constatnt and for the sizes
function, removes two outdated parameters from the documentation of the
struct pt_buffer and renames the constant PT_FILTERS_NUM to
PT_FILTERS_MAX_NUM making clearer that the number of filters can be lower
since it depends on the CPU as specified in Intel's SDM.
