[RFC PATCH 0/6] x86/resctrl: Introduce MMIO-based CMT access for Enhanced RDT

[Chen Yu]

Intel Enhanced Resource Director Technology (ERDT) extends the existing
RDT framework with two major capabilities:

  1. MMIO-based access to monitoring and allocation registers, replacing
     the legacy MSR-based interface.
  2. Region-aware RDT for fine-grained control over different tiers of
     memory (e.g., CXL.mem, DDR).

This is described in the Intel RDT Architecture Specification:
https://cdrdv2-public.intel.com/789566/356688-intel-rdt-arch-spec.pdf

This patch set focuses on the first part: enabling MMIO-based access for
Cache Monitoring Technology (CMT), while CAT/MBM/MBA are still using MSR.
The platform advertises the MMIO register layout through the ACPI ERDT
(Enhanced Resource Director Technology) table, which contains sub-tables
describing per-domain register regions for monitoring and allocation.

With ERDT, L3 cache occupancy counters are read via MMIO rather than
MSR, allowing the reads to be performed from any CPU without requiring
cross-CPU IPIs. This series parses the relevant ACPI sub-tables (RMDD,
CMRC), prepares the resctrl monitor infrastructure for MMIO-based reads,
and adds initial support for reading L3 occupancy via the CMRC interface.

kselftest of CMT and L3_CAT has passed with minor adjustment at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260523101715.3964456-1-yu.c.chen@xxxxxxxxx/.
