[PATCH v2 0/6] x86,fs/resctrl: Pave the way for MPAM counter assignment

From: Ben Horgan

Date: Fri Mar 13 2026 - 13:47:19 EST


A little bit of preparatory work to get ready for MPAM counter
assignment. Resctrl gained support last year for counter assignment for AMD
machines supporting ABMC. Tighten a few things up, that weren't needed for
AMD, so that the MPAM driver can emulate ABMC and hence support counter
assignment.

Based on v7.0-rc3. The last patch is only there to resolve the conflict
in the case that the mpam resctrl glue series [1] is merged first.

Changes since v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260225201905.3568624-1-ben.horgan@xxxxxxx/

Update the commit message for adding resctrl_arch_is_evt_configurable()
and change the new argument name to per_cntr
Make the event_filter file read only rather than hiding it
Include resctrl arch hook for fixed counter assignment mode.
This replaces:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260204161952.685921-1-ben.horgan@xxxxxxx/
Include both new helpers in the mpam build fix
