The success of a cache pseudo-locked region is measured using
performance monitoring events that are programmed directly at the time
the user requests a measurement.
Modifying the performance event registers directly is not appropriate
since it circumvents the in-kernel perf infrastructure that exists to
manage these resources and provide resource arbitration to the
performance monitoring hardware.
The cache pseudo-locking measurements are modified to use the in-kernel
perf infrastructure. Performance events are created and validated with
the appropriate perf API. The performance counters are still read as
directly as possible to avoid the additional cache hits. This is
done safely by first ensuring with the perf API that the counters have
been programmed correctly and only accessing the counters in an
interrupt disabled section where they are not able to be moved.
As part of the transition to the in-kernel perf infrastructure the L2
and L3 measurements are split into two separate measurements that can
be triggered independently. This separation prevents additional cache
misses incurred during the extra testing code used to decide if a
L2 and/or L3 measurement should be made.

When a resource group enters pseudo-locksetup mode it reflects that the
platform supports cache pseudo-locking and the resource group is unused,
ready to be used for a pseudo-locked region. Until it is set up as a
pseudo-locked region the resource group is "locked down" such that no new
tasks or cpus can be assigned to it. This is accomplished in a user visible
way by making the cpus, cpus_list, and tasks resctrl files inaccassible
(user cannot read from or write to these files).
When the resource group changes to pseudo-locked mode it represents a cache
pseudo-locked region. While not appropriate to make any changes to the cpus
assigned to this region it is useful to make it easy for the user to see
which cpus are associated with the pseudo-locked region.
Modify the permissions of the cpus/cpus_list file when the resource group
changes to pseudo-locked mode to support reading (not writing). The
information presented to the user when reading the file are the cpus
associated with the pseudo-locked region.

By default resource groups allow sharing of their cache allocations. There
is nothing that prevents a resource group from configuring a cache
allocation that overlaps with that of an existing resource group.
To enable resource groups to specify that their cache allocations cannot be
shared a resource group "mode" is introduced to support two possible modes:
"shareable" and "exclusive". A "shareable" resource group allows sharing of
its cache allocations, an "exclusive" resource group does not. A new
resctrl file "mode" associated with each resource group is used to
communicate its (the associated resource group's) mode setting and allow
the mode to be changed. The new "mode" file as well as two other resctrl
files, "bit_usage" and "size", are introduced in this series.
Add documentation for the three new resctrl files as well as one example
demonstrating their use.

L2 and L3 Code and Data Prioritization (CDP) can be enabled separately.
The existing mount parameter "cdp" is only for enabling L3 CDP and will be
kept for backwards compability.
Add a new mount parameter 'cdpl2' for L2 CDP.

CPUID.(EAX=0x10, ECX=res#):EBX[31:0] reports a bit mask for a resource.
Each set bit within the length of the CBM indicates the corresponding
unit of the resource allocation may be used by other entities in the
platform (e.g. an integrated graphics engine or hardware units outside
the processor core and have direct access to the resource). Each
cleared bit within the length of the CBM indicates the corresponding
allocation unit can be configured to implement a priority-based
allocation scheme without interference with other hardware agents in
the system. Bits outside the length of the CBM are reserved.
More details on the bit mask are described in x86 Software Developer's
Manual.
The bitmask is shown in "info" directory for each resource. It's
up to user to decide how to use the bitmask within a CBM in a partition
to share or isolate a resource with other executing units.

The resource control filesystem provides only a bitmask based cpus file for
assigning CPUs to a resource group. That's cumbersome with large cpumasks
and non-intuitive when modifying the file from the command line.
Range based cpu lists are commonly used along with bitmask based cpu files
in various subsystems throughout the kernel.
Add 'cpus_list' file which is CPU range based.
# cd /sys/fs/resctrl/
# echo 1-10 > krava/cpus_list
# cat krava/cpus_list
1-10
# cat krava/cpus
0007fe
# cat cpus
fffff9
# cat cpus_list
0,3-23

The schemata file can have multiple lines and it is cumbersome to update
all lines.
Remove code that requires that the user provides values for every resource
(in the right order). If the user provides values for just a few
resources, update them and leave the rest unchanged.
Side benefit: we now check which values were updated and only send IPIs to
cpus that actually have updates.
