[PATCH v7 8/9] x86/resctrl: Introduce erdt_cpu_has() and erdt_support()
From: Chen Yu
Date: Sat Aug 29 2026 - 02:14:12 EST
Introduce erdt_cpu_has() to verify if a specific RDT feature is backed by an
ERDT table. erdt_cpu_has() is derived from rdt_cpu_has(), which not only
considers firmware (ERDT table and its sub-tables) support for a feature, but
also considers userspace input like "rdt=!cmt". Similar to rdt_cpu_has(),
erdt_cpu_has() expects an x86 feature flag as parameter.
Introduce erdt_support() as a helper called by erdt_cpu_has() to check whether
the ERDT firmware supports a given feature.
erdt_support() deliberately claims no feature yet and returns false. A
feature may only be reported as ERDT backed once the low level accessors
that read its monitoring data via MMIO exist, otherwise callers would
take the ERDT path and find no implementation behind it. Features
should be added to erdt_support() as their MMIO implementations are
introduced.

v6->v7:
Reword "an event" to "a feature", since the check is not
monitoring-only. (Reinette Chatre)
Reword "are added" to "should be added". (Reinette Chatre)
Remove the duplicate erdt_cpu_has() declaration, keeping only the one
in asm/resctrl.h required by the inline resctrl_arch_round_mon_val().
(Reinette Chatre)
