[PATCH v5 00/18] Intel Cache Allocation Technology

[Fenghua Yu]

From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

This version should cover all comments from Thomas.

The patches are in the same order as V4 and have small commit messages
changes in patch #16.

0001-Documentation-ABI-Add-a-document-entry-for-cache-id.patch
0002-cacheinfo-Introduce-cache-id.patch
0003-x86-intel_cacheinfo-Enable-cache-id-in-x86.patch

	These three define an "id" for each cache ... we need a "name"
	for a cache so we can say what restrictions to apply to each
	cache in the system.  All you will see at this point is an
	extra "id" file in each /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/
	directory.

0004-x86-intel_rdt-Feature-discovery.patch

	Look at CPUID for the features related to cache allocation.
	At this point /proc/cpuinfo shows extra flags for the features
	found on your system.

0005-Documentation-x86-Documentation-for-Intel-resource-a.patch

	Documentation patch could be anywhere in this sequence. We
	put in early so you can read it to see how to use the
	interface.

0006-x86-intel_rdt-Add-CONFIG-Makefile-and-basic-initiali.patch

	Add CONFIG_INTEL_RDT (default "n" ... you'll have to set
	it to have this, and all the following patches do anything).
	Template driver here just checks for features and spams
	the console with one line for each.

0007-x86-intel_rdt-Add-Haswell-feature-discovery.patch

	There are some Haswell systems that support cache allocation,
	but they were made before the CPUID bits were fully defined.
	So we check by probing the CBM base MSR to see if CLOSID
	bits stick. Unless you have one of these Haswells, you won't
	see any difference here.

0008-x86-intel_rdt-Pick-up-L3-L2-RDT-parameters-from-CPUID.patch

	This is all new code, not seen in the previous versions of this
	patch series. L3 and L2 cache allocations are just the first of
	several resource control features. Define rdt_resource structure
	that contains all the useful things we need to know about a
	resource. Pick up the parameters for the resource from CPUID.
	The console spam strings change format here.

0009-x86-cqm-Move-PQR_ASSOC-management-code-into-generic-.patch

	The PQR_ASSOC MSR has a field for the CLOSID (which we need
	define which allocation rules are in effect). But it also
	contains the RMID (used by CQM and MBM perf monitoring).
	The perf code got here first, but defined structures that
	make it easy for the two systems to co-exist without stomping
	on each other. This patch moves the relevant parts into a
	common header file and changes the scope from "static" to
	global so we can access them. No visible change.

0010-x86-intel_rdt-Build-structures-for-each-resource-bas.patch

	For each enabled resource, we build a list of "rdt_domains" based
	on hotplug cpu notifications. Since we only have L3 at this point,
	this is just a list of L3 caches (named by the "id" established
	in the first three patches). As each cache is found we initialize
	the array of CBMs (cache bit masks). No visible change here.

0011-x86-intel_rdt-Add-basic-resctrl-filesystem-support.patch

	Our interface is a kernfs backed file system. Establish the
	mount point, and provide mount/unmount functionality.
	At this point "/sys/fs/resctrl" appears. You can mount and
	unmount the resctrl file system (if your system supports
	code/data prioritization, you can use the "cdp" mount option).
	The file system is empty and doesn't allow creation of any
	files or subdirectories.

0012-x86-intel_rdt-Add-info-files-to-resctrl-file-system.patch

	Parameters for each resource are buried in CPUID leaf 0x10.
	This isn't very user friendly for scripts and applications
	that want to configure resource allocation. Create an
	"info" directory, with a subdirectory for each resource
	containing a couple of useful parameters. Visible change:
	$ ls -l /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3
	total 0
	-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct  7 11:20 cbm_val
	-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct  7 11:20 num_closid

0013-x86-intel_rdt-Add-mkdir-to-resctrl-file-system.patch

	Each resource group is represented by a directory in the
	resctrl file system. The root directory is the default group.
	Use "mkdir" to create new groups and "rmdir" to remove them.
	The maximum number of groups is defined by the effective
	number of CLOSIDs.
	Visible change: If you have CDP (and enable with the "cdp"
	mount option) you will find that you can only create half
	as many groups as without (e.g. 8 vs. 16 on Broadwell, but
	the default group uses one ... so actually 7, 15).

0014-x86-intel_rdt-Add-cpus-file.patch

	One of the control mechanisms for a resource group is the
	logical CPU. Initially all CPUs are assigned to the default
	group. They can be reassigned to other groups by writing
	a cpumask to the "cpus" file. See the documentation for what
	this means.
	Visible change: "cpus" file in the root, and automatically
	in each created subdirectory. You can "echo" masks to these
	files and watch as CPUs added to one group are removed from
	whatever group they previously belonged to. Removing a directory
	will give all CPUs owned by it back to the default (root)
	group.

0015-x86-intel_rdt-Add-tasks-files.patch

	Tasks can be assigned to resource groups by writing their PID
	to a "tasks" file (which removes the task from its previous
	group). Forked/cloned tasks inherit the group from their
	parent. You cannot remove a group (directory) that has any
	tasks assigned.
	Visible change: "tasks" files appear. E.g. (we see two tasks
	in the group, our shell, and the "cat" that it spawned).
	# echo $$ > p0/tasks; cat p0/tasks
	268890
	268914

0016-x86-intel_rdt-Add-schemata-file.patch

	The "schemata" file in each group/directory defines what
	access tasks controlled by this resource are permitted.
	One line per resource type. Fields for each instance of
	the resource. You redefine the access by wrting to the
	file in the same format.
	Visible change: "schemata" file which starts out with maximum
	allowed resources. E.g.
	$ cat schemata
	L3:0=fffff;1=fffff
	Now restrict this group to just 20% of L3 on first cache, but
	allow 50% on the second
	# echo L3:0=f;1=3ff > schemata

0017-x86-intel_rdt-Add-scheduler-hook.patch

	When context switching we check if we are changing resource
	groups for the new process, and update the PQR_ASSOC MSR with
	the new CLOSID if needed.
	Visble change: Everything should be working now. Tasks run with
	the permitted access to L3 cache.

0018-MAINTAINERS-Add-maintainer-for-Intel-RDT-resource-al.patch

	New files ... need a maintainer. Fenghua has the job.
