x86/resctrl: Add tracepoint for llc_occupancy tracking

2024-04-24T12:24:48Z

In our production environment, after removing monitor groups, those unused RMIDs get stuck in the limbo list forever because their llc_occupancy is always larger than the threshold. But the unused RMIDs can be successfully freed by turning up the threshold. In order to know how much the threshold should be, perf can be used to acquire the llc_occupancy of RMIDs in each rdt domain. Instead of using perf tool to track llc_occupancy and filter the log manually, it is more convenient for users to use tracepoint to do this work. So add a new tracepoint that shows the llc_occupancy of busy RMIDs when scanning the limbo list.

Documentation/x86: Document that resctrl bandwidth control units are MiB

2024-03-24T02:58:43Z

The memory bandwidth software controller uses 2^20 units rather than 10^6. See mbm_bw_count() which computes bandwidth using the "SZ_1M" Linux define for 0x00100000. Update the documentation to use MiB when describing this feature. It's too late to fix the mount option "mba_MBps" as that is now an established user interface.

Merge branch 'linus' into x86/boot, to resolve conflict

2024-03-12T08:55:57Z

There's a new conflict with Linus's upstream tree, because in the following merge conflict resolution in : 38b334fc767e Merge tag 'x86_sev_for_v6.9_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Linus has resolved the conflicting placement of 'cc_mask' better than the original commit: 1c811d403afd x86/sev: Fix position dependent variable references in startup code ... which was also done by an internal merge resolution: 2e5fc4786b7a Merge branch 'x86/sev' into x86/boot, to resolve conflicts and to pick up dependent tree But Linus is right in 38b334fc767e, the 'cc_mask' declaration is sufficient within the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM block. So instead of forcing Linus to do the same resolution again, merge in Linus's tree and follow his conflict resolution. Conflicts: arch/x86/include/asm/coco.h Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
