and it turns out hwmon was actually a *fourth* independent way of getting RAPL results on Linux, the one I was thinking of was actually the powercap interface though it appears that one was similarly locked down in the 5.10 timeframe

I actually tried to make some noise when the powercap stuff got introduced and how it probably shouldn't have been available to regular users, but I've found that it can be really difficult as a regular user to get kernel developers to take your concerns seriously, especially when they are backed by a large company.

I've recently had some concerns about some interface changes the ARM developers have been making in the perf_event area but my complaints are just brushed off and the perf maintainers seemed to be (literally) off on vacation and not responding.
