[PATCH v12 21/25] x86/resctrl: Export interface to report telemetry unbind/remove

From: Tony Luck

Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 19:16:56 EST


Linux allows devices to be unbound from drivers, even if the modules
cannot be unloaded because of reference counts.

For telemetry this results in teardown of the virtual address mappings
of the MMIO regions which hold the event counters. Subsequent access
to these counters will page fault.

Export intel_aet_invalidate() for the pmt_telemetry module to inform
resctrl when invalidation is about to happen.
