[PATCH 1/3] x86/resctrl: Enable non-contiguous bits in Intel CAT

From: Wieczor-Retman, Maciej
Date: Fri Sep 01 2023 - 04:56:18 EST


The setting for non-contiguous 1s support in Intel CAT is
hardcoded to false. On these systems, writing non-contiguous
1s into the schemata file will fail before resctrl passes
the value to the hardware.

In Intel CAT CPUID.0x10.1:ECX[3] and CPUID.0x10.2:ECX[3] stopped
being reserved and now carry information about non-contiguous 1s
value support for L3 and L2 cache respectively. The CAT
capacity bitmask (CBM) supports a non-contiguous 1s value if
the bit is set.

Replace the hardcoded non-contiguous support value with
the support learned from the hardware. Add hardcoded non-contiguous
support value to Haswell probe since it can't make use of CPUID for
Cache allocation.
