** Description changed:

  ARM MPAM MBWU (Memory Bandwidth Usage) counters used by the Linux
  resctrl/MPAM driver can overflow between successive software reads when
  memory traffic is heavy. The driver previously relied on a software
  wrap-around heuristic that failed to detect overflows reliably, under-
  counted bandwidth after a wrap, and did not use the hardware overflow
- status bits. Two commits on branch 24.04_linux-
- nvidia-6.17-next.mpam.extras.fixes3 fix the issue by using hardware
- overflow signaling and preferring wider counter implementations where
- available.
+ status bits. Two commits fix the issue by using hardware overflow
+ signaling and preferring wider counter implementations where available.
  
  Verified on Vera to fix the overflow issues.
