Fenghua Yu 4e5cb354c8 selftests/resctrl: Fix unmount resctrl FS
umount_resctrlfs() directly attempts to unmount resctrl file system without
checking if resctrl FS is already mounted or not. It returns 0 on success
and on failure it prints an error message and returns an error status.
Calling umount_resctrlfs() when resctrl FS isn't mounted will return an
error status.

There could be situations where-in the caller might not know if resctrl
FS is already mounted or not and the caller might still want to unmount
resctrl FS if it's already mounted (For example during teardown).

To support above use cases, change umount_resctrlfs() such that it now
first checks if resctrl FS is already mounted or not and unmounts resctrl
FS only if it's already mounted.

unmount resctrl FS upon exit. For example, running only mba test on a
Broadwell (BDW) machine (MBA isn't supported on BDW CPU).

This happens because validate_resctrl_feature_request() would mount resctrl
FS to check if mba is enabled on the platform or not and finds that the H/W
doesn't support mba and hence will return false to run_mba_test(). This in
turn makes the main() function return without unmounting resctrl FS.

resctrl_tests - resctrl file system test suit

Authors:
	Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>
	Sai Praneeth Prakhya <sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com>,

resctrl_tests tests various resctrl functionalities and interfaces including
both software and hardware.

Currently it supports Memory Bandwidth Monitoring test and Memory Bandwidth
Allocation test on Intel RDT hardware. More tests will be added in the future.
And the test suit can be extended to cover AMD QoS and ARM MPAM hardware
as well.

BUILD
-----

Run "make" to build executable file "resctrl_tests".

RUN
---

To use resctrl_tests, root or sudoer privileges are required. This is because
the test needs to mount resctrl file system and change contents in the file
system.

Executing the test without any parameter will run all supported tests:

	sudo ./resctrl_tests

OVERVIEW OF EXECUTION
---------------------

A test case has four stages:

  - setup: mount resctrl file system, create group, setup schemata, move test
    process pids to tasks, start benchmark.
  - execute: let benchmark run
  - verify: get resctrl data and verify the data with another source, e.g.
    perf event.
  - teardown: umount resctrl and clear temporary files.

ARGUMENTS
---------

Parameter '-h' shows usage information.

usage: resctrl_tests [-h] [-b "benchmark_cmd [options]"] [-t test list] [-n no_of_bits]
        -b benchmark_cmd [options]: run specified benchmark for MBM, MBA and CMT default benchmark is builtin fill_buf
        -t test list: run tests specified in the test list, e.g. -t mbm, mba, cmt, cat
        -n no_of_bits: run cache tests using specified no of bits in cache bit mask
        -p cpu_no: specify CPU number to run the test. 1 is default
        -h: help
