[RFC PATCH 25/31] x86/resctrl: Introduce region-based MBA write implementation on MMIO space

From: Chen Yu

Date: Sun Aug 02 2026 - 12:19:42 EST


Implement the marc_hw_update() callback to program per-region MBA
bandwidth values via MMIO.

The MARC register layout packs 4 regions into each 64-bit register,
with a 9-bit bandwidth field per region at (region % 4) * 16 bits.
The MMIO address for a given CLOSID is calculated using the MARC index
function 1:

addr = base + Floor(Region / 4) * 512 + CLOS * 8

Each controller handles a single (region, type) pair, but a write always
touches the whole 64-bit register. The callback therefore does a
read-modify-write: it changes only its own region's field and writes
every other bit back exactly as it was read, so the reserved bits keep
their original values. A shadow copy of the register (marc_buf) holds
the value last written, which spares the read on later updates.
