"io_alloc" is the generic name of the new resctrl feature that enables system
software to configure the portion of cache allocated for I/O traffic. On AMD
systems, "io_alloc" resctrl feature is backed by AMD's L3 Smart Data Cache
Injection Allocation Enforcement (SDCIAE).

Introduce the architecture-specific functions that resctrl fs should call to
enable, disable, or check status of the "io_alloc" feature. Change SDCIAE state
by setting (to enable) or clearing (to disable) bit 1 of
MSR_IA32_L3_QOS_EXT_CFG on all logical processors within the cache domain.

Resctrl is a filesystem interface to hardware that provides cache
allocation policy and bandwidth control for groups of tasks or CPUs.

To support more than one architecture, resctrl needs to live in /fs/.

Move the code that is concerned with the filesystem interface to
/fs/resctrl.

<title>x86/resctrl: Expand the width of domid by replacing mon_data_bits</title>

<content type='text'>
MPAM platforms retrieve the cache-id property from the ACPI PPTT table.
The cache-id field is 32 bits wide. Under resctrl, the cache-id becomes
the domain-id, and is packed into the mon_data_bits union bitfield.
The width of cache-id in this field is 14 bits.

Expanding the union would break 32bit x86 platforms as this union is
stored as the kernfs kn-&gt;priv pointer. This saved allocating memory
for the priv data storage.

The firmware on MPAM platforms have used the PPTT cache-id field to
expose the interconnect's id for the cache, which is sparse and uses
more than 14 bits. Use of this id is to enable PCIe direct cache
injection hints. Using this feature with VFIO means the value provided
by the ACPI table should be exposed to user-space.

To support cache-id values greater than 14 bits, convert the
mon_data_bits union to a structure. These are shared between control
and monitor groups, and are allocated on first use. The list of
allocated struct mon_data is free'd when the filesystem is umount()ed.

<title>x86/resctrl: Move get_config_index() to a header</title>

get_config_index() is used by the architecture specific code to map
a CLOSID+type pair to an index in the configuration arrays.

MPAM needs to do this too to preserve the ABI to user-space, there is no
reason to do it differently.

Move the helper to a header file to allow all architectures that either
use or emulate CDP to use the same pattern of CLOSID values. Moving
this to a header file means it must be marked inline, which matches
the existing compiler choice for this static function.

<title>x86/resctrl: Move the is_mbm_*_enabled() helpers to asm/resctrl.h</title>

<content type='text'>
The architecture specific parts of resctrl provide helpers like
is_mbm_total_enabled() and is_mbm_local_enabled() to hide accesses to the
rdt_mon_features bitmap.

Exposing a group of helpers between the architecture and filesystem code is
preferable to a single unsigned-long like rdt_mon_features. Helpers can be more
readable and have a well defined behaviour, while allowing architectures to hide
more complex behaviour.

Once the filesystem parts of resctrl are moved, these existing helpers can no
longer live in internal.h. Move them to include/linux/resctrl.h Once these are
exposed to the wider kernel, they should have a 'resctrl_arch_' prefix, to fit
the rest of the arch&lt;-&gt;fs interface.

Move and rename the helpers that touch rdt_mon_features directly. is_mbm_event()
and is_mbm_enabled() are only called from rdtgroup.c, so can be moved into that
file.

rdt_find_domain() finds a domain given a resource and a cache-id.  This is
used by both the architecture code and the filesystem code.

After the filesystem code moves to live in /fs/, this helper is either
duplicated by all architectures, or needs exposing by the filesystem code.

Add the declaration to the global header file. As it's now globally visible,
and has only a handful of callers, swap the 'rdt' for 'resctrl'. Move the
function to live with its caller in ctrlmondata.c as the filesystem code will
not have anything corresponding to core.c.

<title>x86/resctrl: Generate default_ctrl instead of sharing it</title>

The struct rdt_resource default_ctrl is used by both the architecture code for
resetting the hardware controls, and sometimes by the filesystem code as the
default value for the schema, unless the bandwidth software controller is in
use.

Having the default exposed by the architecture code causes unnecessary
duplication for each architecture as the default value must be specified, but
can be derived from other schema properties. Now that the maximum bandwidth is
explicitly described, resctrl can derive the default value from the schema
format and the other resource properties.

The struct rdt_resource default_ctrl is used by both the architecture code for
resetting the hardware controls, and sometimes by the filesystem code as the
default value for the schema, unless the bandwidth software controller is in
use.

Having the default exposed by the architecture code causes unnecessary
duplication for each architecture as the default value must be specified, but
can be derived from other schema properties. Now that the maximum bandwidth is
explicitly described, resctrl can derive the default value from the schema
format and the other resource properties.

<title>x86/resctrl: Add max_bw to struct resctrl_membw</title>

__rdt_get_mem_config_amd() and __get_mem_config_intel() both use the
default_ctrl property as a maximum value. This is because the MBA schema works
differently between these platforms. Doing this complicates determining
whether the default_ctrl property belongs to the arch code, or can be derived
from the schema format.

Deriving the maximum or default value from the schema format would avoid the
architecture code having to tell resctrl such obvious things as the maximum
percentage is 100, and the maximum bitmap is all ones.

Maximum bandwidth is always going to vary per platform. Add max_bw as
a special case. This is currently used for the maximum MBA percentage on Intel
platforms, but can be removed from the architecture code if 'percentage'
becomes a schema format resctrl supports directly.

This value isn't needed for other schema formats.

This will allow the default_ctrl to be generated from the schema properties
when it is needed.

<title>x86/resctrl: Remove data_width and the tabular format</title>

<content type='text'>
The resctrl architecture code provides a data_width for the controls of each
resource. This is used to zero pad all control values in the schemata file so
they appear in columns. The same is done with the resource names to complete
the visual effect. e.g.

  | SMBA:0=2048
  |   L3:0=00ff

AMD platforms discover their maximum bandwidth for the MB resource from
firmware, but hard-code the data_width to 4. If the maximum bandwidth requires
more digits - the tabular format is silently broken.  This is also broken when
the mba_MBps mount option is used as the field width isn't updated. If new
schema are added resctrl will need to be able to determine the maximum width.
The benefit of this pretty-printing is questionable.

Instead of handling runtime discovery of the data_width for AMD platforms,
remove the feature. These fields are always zero padded so should be harmless
to remove if the whole field has been treated as a number.  In the above
example, this would now look like this:

  | SMBA:0=2048
  |   L3:0=ff

<title>x86/resctrl: Use schema type to determine the schema format string</title>

Resctrl's architecture code gets to specify a format string that is
used when printing schema entries. This is expected to be one of two
values that the filesystem code supports.

Setting this format string allows the architecture code to change
the ABI resctrl presents to user-space.

Instead, use the schema format enum to choose which format string to
use.
