[PATCH v14 20/24] x86/resctrl: Export interface to report telemetry unbind/remove

From: Tony Luck

Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 16:53:03 EST


resctrl obtains the addresses of the telemetry MMIO regions from the
pmt_telemetry driver at mount time and holds a reference on the module
until unmount, so the module cannot be unloaded while resctrl may read
the counters.

The module reference does not prevent a telemetry device from being
unbound from the driver, or removed. Either tears down the MMIO mappings
that hold the event counters, and a subsequent read of an event by
resctrl faults on the stale address.

Provide an interface for pmt_telemetry to report that the mappings for a
package are about to be torn down. Stop using the regions of that package
and serialize event reads with the notification so that no read uses an
address once it has been reported. Events of the affected package then
read "Unavailable".

v14:
Dropped aet_mmio_lock. Now safe to use aet_lock.
New commit message
Add code comment noting that per-package may be over-reaction.
