[PATCH v7 0/8] Add support for Sub-NUMA cluster (SNC) systems

[Tony Luck]

The Sub-NUMA cluster feature on some Intel processors partitions
the CPUs that share an L3 cache into two or more sets. This plays
havoc with the Resource Director Technology (RDT) monitoring features.
Prior to this patch Intel has advised that SNC and RDT are incompatible.

Some of these CPU support an MSR that can partition the RMID
counters in the same way. This allows for monitoring features
to be used (with the caveat that memory accesses between different
SNC NUMA nodes may still not be counted accuratlely.

Note that this patch series improves resctrl reporting considerably
on systems with SNC enabled, but there will still be some anomalies
for processes accessing memory from other sub-NUMA nodes.
