The non-contiguous CBM test fails on AMD with:
Starting L3_NONCONT_CAT test ...
Mounting resctrl to "/sys/fs/resctrl"
CPUID output doesn't match 'sparse_masks' file content!
not ok 5 L3_NONCONT_CAT: test

AMD always supports non-contiguous CBM but does not report it via CPUID.

Fix the non-contiguous CBM test to use CPUID to discover non-contiguous
CBM support only on Intel.

Every test calls its cleanup function at the end of it's test function.
After the cleanup function pointer is added to the test framework this
can be simplified to executing the callback function at the end of the
generic test running function.

Make test cleanup functions static and call them from the end of
run_single_test() from the resctrl_test's cleanup function pointer.

Resctrl selftests use very similar functions to cleanup after
themselves. This creates a lot of code duplication. Also not being
hooked to the test framework means that ctrl-c handler isn't aware of
what test is currently running and executes all cleanups even though
only one is needed.

Add a function pointer to the resctrl_test struct and attach to it
cleanup functions from individual tests.

To select test to run -t parameter can be used. However, -t cat
currently maps to L3 CAT test which will be confusing after more CAT

Allow selecting tests as groups and call L3 CAT test "L3_CAT", "CAT"

write_schemata() takes the test name as an argument and determines the
relevant resource based on the test name. Such mapping from name to
resource does not really belong to resctrlfs.c that should provide
only generic, test-independent functions.

Pass the resource stored in the test information structure to
write_schemata() instead of the test name. The new API is also more
flexible as it enables to use write_schemata() for more than one
resource within a test.

While touching the sprintf(), move the unnecessary %c that is always
'=' directly into the format string.

Generalize the one in resctrl_tests.c such that it can be shared

the per test if () forests.

Also add comment to CPU vendor IDs that they must be defined as bits

CAT test does not reset the CPU affinity after the benchmark.
This is relatively harmless as is because CAT test is the last
benchmark to run, however, more tests may be added later.

Store the CPU affinity the first time taskset_benchmark() is run and
add taskset_restore() which the test can call to reset the CPU mask to
its original value.

<title>selftests/resctrl: Rewrite Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) test</title>

<content type='text'>
CAT test spawns two processes into two different control groups with
exclusive schemata. Both the processes alloc a buffer from memory
matching their allocated LLC block size and flush the entire buffer out
of caches. Since the processes are reading through the buffer only once
during the measurement and initially all the buffer was flushed, the
test isn't testing CAT.

Rewrite the CAT test to allocate a buffer sized to half of LLC. Then
perform a sequence of tests with different LLC alloc sizes starting
from half of the CBM bits down to 1-bit CBM. Flush the buffer before
each test and read the buffer twice. Observe the LLC misses on the
second read through the buffer. As the allocated LLC block gets smaller
and smaller, the LLC misses will become larger and larger giving a
strong signal on CAT working properly.

The new CAT test is using only a single process because it relies on
measured effect against another run of itself rather than another
process adding noise. The rest of the system is set to use the CBM bits
not used by the CAT test to keep the test isolated.

Replace count_bits() with count_contiguous_bits() to get the first bit
position in order to be able to calculate masks based on it.

This change has been tested with a number of systems from different
generations.
