Fix ~144 single-word typos in arch/x86/ code comments.

Doing this in a single commit should reduce the churn.

<title>x86/resctrl: Fix AMD L3 QOS CDP enable/disable</title>

<content type='text'>
When the AMD QoS feature CDP (code and data prioritization) is enabled
or disabled, the CDP bit in MSR 0000_0C81 is written on one of the CPUs
in an L3 domain (core complex). That is not correct - the CDP bit needs
to be updated on all the logical CPUs in the domain.

This was not spelled out clearly in the spec earlier. The specification
has been updated and the updated document, "AMD64 Technology Platform
Quality of Service Extensions Publication # 56375 Revision: 1.02 Issue
Date: October 2020" is available now. Refer the section: Code and Data
Prioritization.

Fix the issue by adding a new flag arch_has_per_cpu_cfg in rdt_cache
data structure.

Intel Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) counters may report system
memory bandwidth incorrectly on some Intel processors. The errata SKX99
for Skylake server, BDF102 for Broadwell server, and the correction
factor table are documented in Documentation/x86/resctrl.rst.

Intel MBM counters track metrics according to the assigned Resource
Monitor ID (RMID) for that logical core. The IA32_QM_CTR register
(MSR 0xC8E) used to report these metrics, may report incorrect system
bandwidth for certain RMID values.

Due to the errata, system memory bandwidth may not match what is
reported.

To work around the errata, correct MBM total and local readings using a
correction factor table. If rmid &gt; rmid threshold, MBM total and local
values should be multiplied by the correction factor.

<content type='text'>
Early Intel hardware implementations of Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA)
could only control bandwidth at the processor core level. This meant that
when two processes with different bandwidth allocations ran simultaneously
on the same core the hardware had to resolve this difference. It did so by
applying the higher throttling value (lower bandwidth) to both processes.

Newer implementations can apply different throttling values to each
thread on a core.

Introduce a new resctrl file, "thread_throttle_mode", on Intel systems
that shows to the user how throttling values are allocated, per-core or
per-thread.

On systems that support per-core throttling, the file will display "max".
On newer systems that support per-thread throttling, the file will display
"per-thread".

AMD confirmed in [1] that AMD bandwidth allocation is already at thread
level but that the AMD implementation does not use a memory delay
throttle mode. So to avoid confusion the thread throttling mode would be
UNDEFINED on AMD systems and the "thread_throttle_mode" file will not be
visible.

resctrl/core.c defines get_cache_id() for use in its cpu-hotplug
callbacks. This gets the id attribute of the cache at the corresponding
level of a CPU.

Later rework means this private function needs to be shared. Move
it to the header file.

The name conflicts with a different definition in intel_cacheinfo.c,
name it get_cpu_cacheinfo_id() to show its relation with
get_cpu_cacheinfo().

Now this is visible on other architectures, check the id attribute
has actually been set.

Intel CPUs expect the cache bitmap provided by user-space to have on a
single span of 1s, whereas AMD can support bitmaps like 0xf00f. Arm's
MPAM support also allows sparse bitmaps.

Similarly, Intel CPUs check at least one bit set, whereas AMD CPUs are
quite happy with an empty bitmap. Arm's MPAM allows an empty bitmap.

To move resctrl out to /fs/, platform differences like this need to be
explained.

Add two resource properties arch_has_{empty,sparse}_bitmaps. Test these
around the relevant parts of cbm_validate().

Merging the validate calls causes AMD to gain the min_cbm_bits test
needed for Haswell, but as it always sets this value to 1, it will never
match.

Now after arch_needs_linear has been added, the parse_bw() calls are
almost the same between AMD and Intel.

The difference is '!is_mba_sc()', which is not checked on AMD. This
will always be true on AMD CPUs as mba_sc cannot be enabled as
is_mba_linear() is false.

Removing this duplication means user-space visible behaviour and
error messages are not validated or generated in different places.
