[PATCH v12 10/26] x86/resctrl: Introduce mbm_cntr_cfg to track assignable counters at domain

From: Babu Moger
Date: Thu Apr 03 2025 - 20:37:36 EST


In mbm_cntr_assign mode hardware counters are assigned/unassigned to an
MBM event of a monitor group. Hardware counters are assigned/unassigned
at monitoring domain level.

Manage a monitoring domain's hardware counters using a per monitoring
domain array of struct mbm_cntr_cfg that is indexed by the hardware
counter ID. A hardware counter's configuration contains the MBM event
ID and points to the monitoring group that it is assigned to, with a
NULL pointer meaning that the hardware counter is available for assignment.

There is no direct way to determine which hardware counters are assigned
to a particular monitoring group. Check every entry of every hardware
counter configuration array in every monitoring domain to query which
MBM events of a monitoring group is tracked by hardware. Such queries are
acceptable because of a very small number of assignable counters (32
to 64).

v12: Fixed the struct mbm_cntr_cfg code documentation.
Removed few strange charactors in changelog.
Added the counter range for better understanding.
Moved the struct mbm_cntr_cfg definition to resctrl/internal.h as
suggested by James.

v11: Refined the change log based on Reinette's feedback.
Fixed few style issues.

v10: Patch changed completely to handle the counters at domain level.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CALPaoCj+zWq1vkHVbXYP0znJbe6Ke3PXPWjtri5AFgD9cQDCUg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
Removed Reviewed-by tag.
Did not see the need to add cntr_id in mbm_state structure. Not used in the code.

v9: Added Reviewed-by tag. No other changes.

v8: Minor commit message changes.

v7: Added check mbm_cntr_assignable for allocating bitmap mbm_cntr_map

v6: New patch to add domain level assignment.
