[PATCH v2 0/8] x86/resctrl: Support for AMD Global (Slow) Memory Bandwidth Allocation

[Babu Moger]

This series adds resctrl support for two new AMD memory-bandwidth
allocation features:

  - GMBA  - Global Memory Bandwidth Allocation (hardware name: GLBE).
            Bounds DRAM bandwidth for groups of threads that span
            multiple L3 QoS domains, rather than being per-L3 like MBA.

  - GSMBA - Global Slow Memory Bandwidth Allocation (hardware name:
            GLSBE). The CXL.memory / slow-memory counterpart of GMBA,
            analogous to how SMBA relates to MBA.

Both features share a new "NPS-node" control domain: a set of QoS (L3)
domains grouped together and aligned to the system's NPS (Nodes Per
Socket) BIOS configuration. Although the control domain is NPS-scoped,
the underlying bandwidth-limit MSRs (MSR_IA32_GMBA_BW_BASE 0xc0000600,
MSR_IA32_GSMBA_BW_BASE 0xc0000680) are instantiated per L3. Programming
a single control domain therefore requires writing the MSR on one CPU
per L3 that the domain spans - a new pattern for resctrl. Patches 2/8
and 3/8 introduce that infrastructure so the new resources can reuse
it.

The features are documented in:

  AMD64 Zen6 Platform Quality of Service (PQOS) Extensions,
  Publication # 69193 Revision 1.00, Issue Date March 2026

Series overview
---------------

Patches 1-5 to enable GMBA:

  1/8  x86,fs/resctrl: Add support for Global Bandwidth Enforcement (GLBE)

  2/8  x86/resctrl: Add RESCTRL_NPS_NODE scope for AMD NPS-aligned domains
       Add a new ctrl_scope value for resctrl resources whose control
       domain spans multiple L3s within an NPS node.

  3/8  x86/resctrl: Update control MSRs per L3 for NPS-scoped resources
       Add resctrl_arch_update_nps(): builds a cpumask with one CPU per
       distinct L3 in the domain, then issues rdt_ctrl_update() via
       smp_call_function_many() on that mask. Falls back to the full
       domain mask if the scratch masks cannot be built. Route
       resctrl_arch_update_domains() and resctrl_arch_reset_all_ctrls()
       through this helper when ctrl_scope == RESCTRL_NPS_NODE.

  4/8  x86,fs/resctrl: Add the resource for Global Memory Bandwidth Allocation
       Register RDT_RESOURCE_GMBA in rdt_resources_all[] with
       ctrl_scope=RESCTRL_NPS_NODE and schema_fmt=RANGE, add commands to
       discover feature details.

  5/8  fs/resctrl: Add the documentation for Global Memory Bandwidth Allocation
       Add examples in Documentation/filesystems/resctrl.rst.

Patches 6-8 to enable GSMBA in the same shape:

  6/8  x86,fs/resctrl: Add support for Global Slow Memory Bandwidth Allocation

  7/8  x86,fs/resctrl: Add the resource for Global Slow Memory Bandwidth Allocation
       Register RDT_RESOURCE_GSMBA with ctrl_scope=RESCTRL_NPS_NODE.

  8/8  fs/resctrl: Add the documentation for Global Slow Memory Bandwidth Allocation
       Add examples in Documentation/filesystems/resctrl.rst.

Changes since v1
----------------
  - Earlier sent RFC(v1) with Global Bandwidth Enforcement (GLBE) and
    Privilege Level Zero Association (PLZA). This series only handles
    Global Memory Bandwidth Allocation. Both the features are sent separately.

  - Documentation
      * Fixed grammar in the GMBA / GSMBA sections of resctrl.rst.
      * Added examples to update GMBA and GSMBA in resctrl.rst documentation.

  - Major changes are releated to RESCTRL_NPS_NODE scope handling.

  - Commit messages
      * Reworked the changelogs in all the patches.
