[PATCH v10 08/17] x86/resctrl: Enforce system RMID limit on AET event groups

From: Tony Luck

Date: Wed Jul 29 2026 - 14:25:55 EST


AET (Application Energy Telemetry) event groups each support a specific
number of RMIDs. But that number may be lower than the number supported
by the system. Especially true on systems with SNC (Sub-NUMA Cluster)
enabled as that reduces the number of supported RMIDs.

Fix get_rdt_mon_resources() to return true when any monitor resource is
possibly enabled. Call intel_aet_init() to adjust the event_group::num_rmid
values to not exceed the system supported maximum.
