[PATCH 6/9] x86/intel_rdt: Add support for cache bit mask management

From: Vikas Shivappa
Date: Wed Jul 01 2015 - 18:25:06 EST


The change adds a file cache_mask to the RDT cgroup which represents the
cache bit mask(CBM) for the cgroup. cache_mask is specific to the Cache
allocation sub-feature of RDT. The tasks in the RDT cgroup would get to
fill the L3 cache represented by the cgroup's cache_mask file.

Update to the CBM is done by writing to the IA32_L3_MASK_n. The RDT
cgroup follows cgroup hierarchy ,mkdir and adding tasks to the cgroup
never fails. When a child cgroup is created it inherits the CLOSid and
the cache_mask from its parent. When a user changes the default CBM for
a cgroup, a new CLOSid may be allocated if the cache_mask was not used
before. If the new CBM is the one that is already used, the count for
that CLOSid<->CBM is incremented. The changing of 'cache_mask' may fail
with -ENOSPC once the kernel runs out of maximum CLOSids it can support.

User can create as many cgroups as he wants but having different CBMs at
the same time is restricted by the maximum number of CLOSids .Kernel
maintains a CLOSid<->cbm mapping which keeps count of cgroups using a
CLOSid.

Reuse of CLOSids for cgroups with same bitmask also has following
advantages:
- This helps to use the scant CLOSids optimally.
- This also implies that during context switch, write to PQR-MSR is
done only when a task with a different bitmask is scheduled in.
