[PATCH v6 4/9] x86/resctrl: Attach ACPI ERDT information to L3 mon domain on CPU online
From: Chen Yu
Date: Sat Jul 25 2026 - 05:33:10 EST
Reading LLC occupancy counters via MMIO requires the per-domain ERDT
information, parsed earlier from the ACPI ERDT table, to be reachable
from the resctrl L3 monitoring domain. Nothing links the two yet, so
the monitoring code cannot locate the MMIO registers of a domain.
ERDT and CPUID enumerate CPU-to-L3-domain membership independently:
CPUID leaf 4 describes the L3 cache topology, while the firmware CACD
sub-table lists the CPUs of each ERDT domain. Both views must agree on
a CPU's L3 domain for that CPU to be monitored safely.
When a CPU comes online, validate that firmware and CPUID agree on its
L3 domain before adding it to a resctrl monitoring domain. Exclude the
CPU from all monitoring domains on a mismatch because a topology
inconsistency between ERDT and CPUID indicates a firmware defect that
makes the CPU's domain placement unreliable for any resource. Otherwise
attach the matching ERDT domain information to the L3 monitoring domain
so that later code can read monitoring data via ERDT and its sub-tables.

v5->v6:
Call erdt_cpu_valid() in domain_add_cpu_mon() before the CPU is added
to the domain cpu_mask, and bail out early on a mismatch.
(Reinette Chatre)
Drop the redundant pr_warn() in the caller, the callee already warns.
(Reinette Chatre)
Use list_for_each_entry(). (Reinette Chatre)
Make the domain information pointer const instead of documenting it
as read only in a comment. (Reinette Chatre)
Adjust the ERDT/CPUID mismatch check that the CPUs disagrees with
ERDT/CPUID domain is excluded from resctrl.
