Linux Virtualization - May 2016 - [PATCH] tools/virtio/ringtest: add usage example to README

Having typical usage example in the README file is more convinient than in
the git history...

 Partial implementation of various ring layouts, useful to tune virtio design.
 Uses shared memory heavily.

+Typical use:

+# sh run-on-all.sh perf stat -r 10 --log-fd 1 -- ./ring

/dev/cpu is only available on x86 with certain modules (e.g. msr) enabled.
Using /proc/cpuinfo to get processors count is more portable.

As you're touching this anyway: Is there any way to avoid the
architecture-specific /proc/cpuinfo and do whatever lscpu does?

Michael,

Any updates on this?
