[PATCH v13 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 monitoring features to be used. With the caveat
that users must be aware that Linux may migrate tasks more frequently
between SNC nodes than between "regular" NUMA nodes, so reading counters
from all SNC nodes may be needed to get a complete picture of activity
for tasks.

Cache and memory bandwidth allocation features continue to operate at
the scope of the L3 cache.

Changes since v12:

All:
	Reinette - put commit tags in right order for TIP (Tested-by before
	Reviewed-by)

Patch 7:
	Fam Zheng - Check for -1 return from get_cpu_cacheinfo_id() and
	increase size of bitmap tracking # of L3 instances.
	Reinette - Add extra sanity checks. Note that this patch has
	some additional tweaks beyond the e-mail discussion.
		1) "3" is a valid return in addition to 1, 2, 4
		2) Added a warning if the sanity checks fail that
		prints number of CPU nodes and number of L3 cache
		instances that were found.

Patch 8:
	Babu - Fix grammar with an additional comma.
