[RFC PATCH 0/3] x86/cpufeatures: Re-arrange a few features and enumerate AVX512 BFLOAT16 intructions

From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Thu Jun 13 2019 - 17:05:45 EST


To enumerate AVX512 BFLOAT16 feature CPUID.7.1:EAX[5] and other future
features in CPUID.7.1:EAX, Boris suggests to create a new pure feature
bits word.

Boris further suggests to re-define word 11 as scattered features word
and move the four X86_FEATURE_CQM_* features in existing word 11 and
word 12 into the new word 11. Then use word 12 to hold features in
CPUID.7.1:EAX including AVX512 BFLOAT16 instructions.

Also remove x86_cache_max_rmid and x86_cache_occ_scale in cpuinfo_x86
to save memory space because they are only read once by resctrl during
boot time. Get the info directly from CPUID in resctrl initialization.

Fenghua Yu (3):
x86/resctrl: Get max rmid and occupancy scale directly from CPUID
instead of cpuinfo_x86
x86/cpufeatures: Combine word 11 and 12 into new scattered features
word 11
x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate new AVX512 BFLOAT16 instructions
