[PATCH] x86/resctrl: Add tracepoint for llc_occupancy tracking
From: Haifeng Xu
Date: Fri Jan 26 2024 - 08:02:41 EST
If llc_occupany is enabled, the rmid may not be freed immediately unless
its llc_occupany is less than the resctrl_rmid_realloc_threshold.
In our production environment, those unused rmids get stuck in the limbo
list forever because their llc_occupancy are larger than the threshold.
After turning it up, we can successfully free unused rmids and create
new monitor groups. In order to acquire the llc_occupancy of rmids in
each rdt domain, we use perf tool to track and filter the log manually.
It's not efficient enough. Therefore, we can add a new tracepoint that
shows the llc_occupancy of busy rmids when scanning the limbo list. It
can help us to adjust the resctrl_rmid_realloc_threshold to a reasonable
value.
