[PATCH v11 18/23] x86/resctrl: Report "Unassigned" for MBM events in mbm_cntr_assign mode
From: Babu Moger
Date: Wed Jan 22 2025 - 15:25:07 EST
In mbm_cntr_assign mode, the hardware counter should be assigned to read
the MBM events.
Report 'Unassigned' in case the user attempts to read the events without
assigning the counter.
Signed-off-by: Babu Moger <babu.moger@xxxxxxx>

v11: Domain can be NULL with SNC support so moved the unassign check in
rdtgroup_mondata_show().
v10: Moved the code to check the assign state inside mon_event_read().
Fixed few text comments.
v9: Used is_mbm_event() to check the event type.
Minor user documentation update.
v8: Used MBM_EVENT_ARRAY_INDEX to get the index for the MBM event.
Documentation update to make the text generic.
v7: Moved the documentation under "mon_data".
Updated the text little bit.
v6: Added more explaination in the resctrl.rst
Added checks to detect "Unassigned" before reading RMID.
v5: New patch.
