Pull x86 cache allocation interface from Thomas Gleixner:
"This provides support for Intel's Cache Allocation Technology, a cache
partitioning mechanism.
The interface is odd, but the hardware interface of that CAT stuff is
odd as well.
We tried hard to come up with an abstraction, but that only allows
rather simple partitioning, but no way of sharing and dealing with the
per package nature of this mechanism.
In the end we decided to expose the allocation bitmaps directly so all
combinations of the hardware can be utilized.
There are two ways of associating a cache partition:
- Task
A task can be added to a resource group. It uses the cache
partition associated to the group.
- CPU
All tasks which are not member of a resource group use the group to
which the CPU they are running on is associated with.
That allows for simple CPU based partitioning schemes.
The main expected user sare:
- Virtualization so a VM can only trash only the associated part of
the cash w/o disturbing others
- Real-Time systems to seperate RT and general workloads.
- Latency sensitive enterprise workloads
- In theory this also can be used to protect against cache side
channel attacks"
[ Intel RDT is "Resource Director Technology". The interface really is
rather odd and very specific, which delayed this pull request while I
was thinking about it. The pull request itself came in early during
the merge window, I just delayed it until things had calmed down and I
had more time.
But people tell me they'll use this, and the good news is that it is
_so_ specific that it's rather independent of anything else, and no
user is going to depend on the interface since it's pretty rare. So if
push comes to shove, we can just remove the interface and nothing will
break ]
