Pull x86 resource control updates from Borislav Petkov:
 "Carve out the resctrl filesystem-related code into fs/resctrl/ so that
  multiple architectures can share the fs API for manipulating their
  respective hw resource control implementation.

  This is the second step in the work towards sharing the resctrl
  filesystem interface, the next one being plugging ARM's MPAM into the
  aforementioned fs API"

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.

Add Makefile and Kconfig for fs/resctrl. Add ARCH_HAS_CPU_RESCTRL
for the common parts of the resctrl interface and make X86_CPU_RESCTRL
select this.

Adding an include of asm/resctrl.h to linux/resctrl.h allows the
/fs/resctrl files to switch over to using this header instead.

trace.h contains all the tracepoints. After the move to /fs/resctrl, some
of these will be left behind. All the pseudo_lock tracepoints remain part
of the architecture. The lone tracepoint in monitor.c moves to /fs/resctrl.

Split trace.h so that each C file includes a different trace header file.
This means the trace header files are not modified when they are moved.

The third argument in wrmsr(msr, low, 0) is unnecessary.  Instead, use
wrmsrq(msr, low), which automatically sets the higher 32 bits of the
MSR value to 0.

<title>x86/msr: Convert __rdmsr() uses to native_rdmsrq() uses</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=3204877d05ca17162270890e3f28552741a1b1a2'/>
<id>3204877d05ca17162270890e3f28552741a1b1a2</id>
<content type='text'>
__rdmsr() is the lowest level MSR write API, with native_rdmsr()
and native_rdmsrq() serving as higher-level wrappers around it.

  #define native_rdmsr(msr, val1, val2)                   \
  do {                                                    \
          u64 __val = __rdmsr((msr));                     \
          (void)((val1) = (u32)__val);                    \
          (void)((val2) = (u32)(__val &gt;&gt; 32));            \
  } while (0)

  static __always_inline u64 native_rdmsrq(u32 msr)
  {
          return __rdmsr(msr);
  }

However, __rdmsr() continues to be utilized in various locations.

MSR APIs are designed for different scenarios, such as native or
pvops, with or without trace, and safe or non-safe.  Unfortunately,
the current MSR API names do not adequately reflect these factors,
making it challenging to select the most appropriate API for
various situations.

To pave the way for improving MSR API names, convert __rdmsr()
uses to native_rdmsrq() to ensure consistent usage.  Later, these
APIs can be renamed to better reflect their implications, such as
native or pvops, with or without trace, and safe or non-safe.

No functional change intended.

__rdmsr() is the lowest level MSR write API, with native_rdmsr()
and native_rdmsrq() serving as higher-level wrappers around it.

  #define native_rdmsr(msr, val1, val2)                   \
  do {                                                    \
          u64 __val = __rdmsr((msr));                     \
          (void)((val1) = (u32)__val);                    \
          (void)((val2) = (u32)(__val &gt;&gt; 32));            \
  } while (0)

  static __always_inline u64 native_rdmsrq(u32 msr)
  {
          return __rdmsr(msr);
  }

However, __rdmsr() continues to be utilized in various locations.

MSR APIs are designed for different scenarios, such as native or
pvops, with or without trace, and safe or non-safe.  Unfortunately,
the current MSR API names do not adequately reflect these factors,
making it challenging to select the most appropriate API for
various situations.

To pave the way for improving MSR API names, convert __rdmsr()
uses to native_rdmsrq() to ensure consistent usage.  Later, these
APIs can be renamed to better reflect their implications, such as
native or pvops, with or without trace, and safe or non-safe.

No functional change intended.

and native_wrmsrq() serving as higher-level wrappers around it:

          __wrmsr(msr, low, high)

  #define native_wrmsrl(msr, val)                         \
          __wrmsr((msr), (u32)((u64)(val)),               \
                         (u32)((u64)(val) &gt;&gt; 32))

However, __wrmsr() continues to be utilized in various locations.

<title>x86/msr: Convert the rdpmc() macro to an __always_inline function</title>

Functions offer type safety and better readability compared to macros.
Additionally, always inline functions can match the performance of
macros.  Converting the rdpmc() macro into an always inline function
is simple and straightforward, so just make the change.

Moreover, the read result is now the returned value, further enhancing
readability.
