The recent commit

  064855a69003 ("x86/resctrl: Fix default monitoring groups reporting")

caused a RHEL build failure with an uninitialized variable warning
treated as an error because it removed the default case snippet.

The RHEL Makefile uses '-Werror=maybe-uninitialized' to force possibly
uninitialized variable warnings to be treated as errors. This is also
reported by smatch via the 0day robot.

The error from the RHEL build is:

  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/monitor.c: In function ‘__mon_event_count’:
  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/monitor.c:261:12: error: ‘m’ may be used
  uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
    m-&gt;chunks += chunks;
              ^~

The upstream Makefile does not build using '-Werror=maybe-uninitialized'.
So, the problem is not seen there. Fix the problem by putting back the
default case snippet.

 [ bp: note that there's nothing wrong with the code and other compilers
   do not trigger this warning - this is being done just so the RHEL compiler
   is happy. ]

Creating a new sub monitoring group in the root /sys/fs/resctrl leads to
getting the "Unavailable" value for mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes
on the entire filesystem.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl/

  2. cd /sys/fs/resctrl/

  3. cat mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_total_bytes
     23189832

  4. Create sub monitor group:
  mkdir mon_groups/test1

  5. cat mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_total_bytes
     Unavailable

When a new monitoring group is created, a new RMID is assigned to the
new group. But the RMID is not active yet. When the events are read on
the new RMID, it is expected to report the status as "Unavailable".

When the user reads the events on the default monitoring group with
multiple subgroups, the events on all subgroups are consolidated
together. Currently, if any of the RMID reads report as "Unavailable",
then everything will be reported as "Unavailable".

Fix the issue by discarding the "Unavailable" reads and reporting all
the successful RMID reads. This is not a problem on Intel systems as
Intel reports 0 on Inactive RMIDs.

This reverts commit cd544fd1dc9293c6702fab6effa63dac1cc67e99.

As discussed in [1] this commit was a no-op because the mapping type was
checked in vma_to_resize before move_vma is ever called.  This meant that
vm_ops-&gt;mremap() would never be called on such mappings.  Furthermore,
we've since expanded support of MREMAP_DONTUNMAP to non-anonymous
mappings, and these special mappings are still protected by the existing
check of !VM_DONTEXPAND and !VM_PFNMAP which will result in a -EINVAL.

A CPU's current task can have its {closid, rmid} fields read locally
while they are being concurrently written to from another CPU.
This can happen anytime __resctrl_sched_in() races with either
__rdtgroup_move_task() or rdt_move_group_tasks().

Prevent load / store tearing for those accesses by giving them the
READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE() treatment.

while they are being concurrently written to from another CPU.
This can happen anytime __resctrl_sched_in() races with either
__rdtgroup_move_task() or rdt_move_group_tasks().

Prevent load / store tearing for those accesses by giving them the
READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE() treatment.

James reported in [1] that there could be two tasks running on the same CPU
with task_struct-&gt;on_cpu set. Using task_struct-&gt;on_cpu as a test if a task
is running on a CPU may thus match the old task for a CPU while the
scheduler is running and IPI it unnecessarily.

task_curr() is the correct helper to use. While doing so move the #ifdef
check of the CONFIG_SMP symbol to be a C conditional used to determine
if this helper should be used to ensure the code is always checked for
correctness by the compiler.
