From 40aafc7d58d3544f152a863a0e9863014b6d5d8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Prarit Bhargava Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2022 10:18:16 -0500 Subject: tools/power turbostat: Fix /dev/cpu_dma_latency warnings 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.
