[PATCH v6 2/3] x86/resctrl: Use total bandwidth for mba_MBps option when local isn't present

[Tony Luck]

On Intel systems the memory bandwidth monitoring events are
independently enumerated. It is possible for a system to support
total memory bandwidth monitoring, but not support local bandwidth
monitoring. On such a system a user could not enable mba_sc mode.
Users will see this highly unhelpful error message from mount:

 # mount -t resctrl -o mba_MBps resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
 mount: /sys/fs/resctrl: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
 resctrl, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
 dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

dmesg(1) does not provide any additional information.

Modify the existing "mba_MBps" mount option to switch to total bandwidth
monitoring if local monitoring is not available.
