Misc
+--------------
+
+The Miscellaneous cgroup provides the resource allocation and tracking
+mechanism for the scalar resources which cannot be abstracted like the other
+cgroup resources. Controller is enabled by the CONFIG_CGROUP_MISC config
+option.
+
+The first two resources added to the miscellaneous controller are Secure
+Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) ASIDs and SEV - Encrypted State (SEV-ES) ASIDs.
+These limited ASIDs are used for encrypting virtual machines memory on the AMD
+platform.
+
+Misc Interface Files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Miscellaneous controller provides 3 interface files:
+
+ misc.capacity
+ A read-only flat-keyed file shown only in the root cgroup. It shows
+ miscellaneous scalar resources available on the platform along with
+ their quantities::
+ $ cat misc.capacity
+ sev 50
+ sev_es 10
+
+ misc.current
+ A read-only flat-keyed file shown in the non-root cgroups. It shows
+ the current usage of the resources in the cgroup and its children.::
+ $ cat misc.current
+ sev 3
+ sev_es 0
+
+ misc.max
+ A read-write flat-keyed file shown in the non root cgroups. Allowed
+ maximum usage of the resources in the cgroup and its children.::
+ $ cat misc.max
+ sev max
+ sev_es 4
+
+ Limit can be set by::
+ # echo sev 1 > misc.max
+
+ Limit can be set to max by::
+ # echo sev max > misc.max
+
+ Limits can be set more than the capacity value in the misc.capacity
+ file.
+
+Migration and Ownership
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A miscellaneous scalar resource is charged to the cgroup in which it is used
+first, and stays charged to that cgroup until that resource is freed. Migrating
+a process to a different cgroup do not move the charge to the destination
+cgroup where the process has moved.
