Merge branch 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 cache control updates from Borislav Petkov: - The generalization of the RDT code to accommodate the addition of AMD's very similar implementation of the cache monitoring feature. This entails a subsystem move into a separate and generic arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/ directory along with adding vendor-specific initialization and feature detection helpers. Ontop of that is the unification of user-visible strings, both in the resctrl filesystem error handling and Kconfig. Provided by Babu Moger and Sherry Hurwitz. - Code simplifications and error handling improvements by Reinette Chatre. * 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/resctrl: Fix rdt_find_domain() return value and checks x86/resctrl: Remove unnecessary check for cbm_validate() x86/resctrl: Use rdt_last_cmd_puts() where possible MAINTAINERS: Update resctrl filename patterns Documentation: Rename and update intel_rdt_ui.txt to resctrl_ui.txt x86/resctrl: Introduce AMD QOS feature x86/resctrl: Fixup the user-visible strings x86/resctrl: Add AMD's X86_FEATURE_MBA to the scattered CPUID features x86/resctrl: Rename the config option INTEL_RDT to RESCTRL x86/resctrl: Add vendor check for the MBA software controller x86/resctrl: Bring cbm_validate() into the resource structure x86/resctrl: Initialize the vendor-specific resource functions x86/resctrl: Move all the macros to resctrl/internal.h x86/resctrl: Re-arrange the RDT init code x86/resctrl: Rename the RDT functions and definitions x86/resctrl: Rename and move rdt files to a separate directory
