[PATCH v8 8/9] x86/resctrl: Introduce erdt_cpu_has() and erdt_support()
From: Chen Yu
Date: Fri Sep 18 2026 - 01:03:53 EST
Introduce erdt_cpu_has() to verify if a specific RDT feature is backed by an
ERDT table. erdt_cpu_has() is derived from rdt_cpu_has(), which not only
considers firmware (ERDT table and its sub-tables) support for a feature, but
also considers userspace input like "rdt=!cmt". Similar to rdt_cpu_has(),
erdt_cpu_has() expects an x86 feature flag as parameter.
Introduce erdt_support() as a helper called by erdt_cpu_has() to check whether
the ERDT firmware supports a given feature.
erdt_support() deliberately claims no feature yet and returns false. A feature
may only be reported as ERDT backed once the low level accessors that access
its data via MMIO exist, otherwise callers would take the ERDT path and find no
implementation behind it. Features should be added to erdt_support() as their
MMIO implementations are introduced.
