[RFC PATCH 1/3] x86: Add support for Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) detection
From: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr
Date: Thu Dec 26 2013 - 16:35:19 EST
This patch adds support for the new Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM)
feature found in future Intel Xeon processors. It includes the
new values to track CQM resources to the cpuinfo_x86 structure,
plus the CPUID detection routines for CQM.
CQM allows a process, or set of processes, to be tracked by the CPU
to determine the cache usage of that task group. Using this data
from the CPU, software can be written to extract this data and
report cache usage and occupancy for a particular process, or
group of processes.
More information about Cache QoS Monitoring can be found in the
Intel (R) x86 Architecture Software Developer Manual, section 17.14.
