Yes. Scope of  MSR_IA32_EVT_CFG_BASE per L3 domain.

Please see the response below.

For example, we have CPUs 0-7 in domain 0. We have two counters which are
configurable.

Lets consider same example as your mentioned about.

g2 is a control group.

m1 and m2 are monitor group.

We can have control group g2 with CPUs 0-7 to limit the L3 bandwidth (or
memory bandwidth with required schemata setting).

We can have mon group m1 with cpus 0-3 to monitor mbm_local_bytes.

We can have mon group m2 with cpus  4-7 to monitor mbm_total_bytes.

Each group is independently, monitoring two separate thing. Without having
sysfs file (mbm_local_config and mbm_total_config) in each monitor group,
we wont be able to configure the above configuration.

Yes. That is correct.  Will fix it.
