[PATCH v7 11/14] mpam,x86/resctrl: Resolve INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY symbols at runtime
From: Tony Luck
Date: Mon Jun 01 2026 - 15:58:35 EST
resctrl is always built-in, but INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY and INTEL_TPMI are
logically independent and should be loadable modules. Switch AET to use
the function-pointer registration API (introduced in the preceding patch)
instead of direct link-time references to PMT symbols.
Prepare for the file system to call resctrl_arch_pre_mount() on every mount
by moving AET enumeration into resctrl_arch_pre_mount() and cleanup into
resctrl_arch_unmount(). This allows the PMT module to be unloaded whenever
the filesystem is not mounted.
Remove intel_aet_exit because all cleanup now happens in the unmount path.
Note that the Linux file system code does not serialize calls to
fs_context_operations::get_tree(), so there may be arbitrarily many
parallel calls if users invoke mount(2) multiple times.
Add locking and state (resctrl_arch_mount_entries) to avoid repeated
enumeration on nested mount requests from file system code (which will be
failed with -EBUSY status).
event_group::num_rmid may be reset (reduced) during enumeration. This is
not worth resetting on unmount because the same reduction would occur on
each subsequent mount.
