[PATCH 2/6] x86/intel_rdt: Add L2 Code and Data Prioritization (CDP) support in documentation
From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Wed Dec 20 2017 - 17:55:57 EST
From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx>
A new mount parameter "cdpl2" is added to enable L2 CDP in documentation.
The legacy mount parameter "cdp" is still used to enable L3 CDP.
L2 and L3 CDP can be enabled separately.

X86 /proc/cpuinfo flag bits:
RDT (Resource Director Technology) Allocation - "rdt_a"
CAT (Cache Allocation Technology) - "cat_l3", "cat_l2"
-CDP (Code and Data Prioritization ) - "cdp_l3"
+CDP (Code and Data Prioritization ) - "cdp_l3", "cdp_l2"
CQM (Cache QoS Monitoring) - "cqm_llc", "cqm_occup_llc"
MBM (Memory Bandwidth Monitoring) - "cqm_mbm_total", "cqm_mbm_local"
MBA (Memory Bandwidth Allocation) - "mba"
To use the feature mount the file system:
- # mount -t resctrl resctrl [-o cdp] /sys/fs/resctrl
+ # mount -t resctrl resctrl [-o cdp[,cdpl2]] /sys/fs/resctrl
mount options are:
"cdp": Enable code/data prioritization in L3 cache allocations.
+"cdpl2": Enable code/data prioritization in L2 cache allocations.
+
+Please note: We keep the "cdp" option for enabling L3 CDP to maintain
+legacy interface. L2 and L3 CDP can be enabled separately.
RDT features are orthogonal. A particular system may support only
monitoring, only control, or both monitoring and control.
