Merge branch 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 cache allocation interface from Thomas Gleixner: "This provides support for Intel's Cache Allocation Technology, a cache partitioning mechanism. The interface is odd, but the hardware interface of that CAT stuff is odd as well. We tried hard to come up with an abstraction, but that only allows rather simple partitioning, but no way of sharing and dealing with the per package nature of this mechanism. In the end we decided to expose the allocation bitmaps directly so all combinations of the hardware can be utilized. There are two ways of associating a cache partition: - Task A task can be added to a resource group. It uses the cache partition associated to the group. - CPU All tasks which are not member of a resource group use the group to which the CPU they are running on is associated with. That allows for simple CPU based partitioning schemes. The main expected user sare: - Virtualization so a VM can only trash only the associated part of the cash w/o disturbing others - Real-Time systems to seperate RT and general workloads. - Latency sensitive enterprise workloads - In theory this also can be used to protect against cache side channel attacks" [ Intel RDT is "Resource Director Technology". The interface really is rather odd and very specific, which delayed this pull request while I was thinking about it. The pull request itself came in early during the merge window, I just delayed it until things had calmed down and I had more time. But people tell me they'll use this, and the good news is that it is _so_ specific that it's rather independent of anything else, and no user is going to depend on the interface since it's pretty rare. So if push comes to shove, we can just remove the interface and nothing will break ] * 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (31 commits) x86/intel_rdt: Implement show_options() for resctrlfs x86/intel_rdt: Call intel_rdt_sched_in() with preemption disabled x86/intel_rdt: Update task closid immediately on CPU in rmdir and unmount x86/intel_rdt: Fix setting of closid when adding CPUs to a group x86/intel_rdt: Update percpu closid immeditately on CPUs affected by changee x86/intel_rdt: Reset per cpu closids on unmount x86/intel_rdt: Select KERNFS when enabling INTEL_RDT_A x86/intel_rdt: Prevent deadlock against hotplug lock x86/intel_rdt: Protect info directory from removal x86/intel_rdt: Add info files to Documentation x86/intel_rdt: Export the minimum number of set mask bits in sysfs x86/intel_rdt: Propagate error in rdt_mount() properly x86/intel_rdt: Add a missing #include MAINTAINERS: Add maintainer for Intel RDT resource allocation x86/intel_rdt: Add scheduler hook x86/intel_rdt: Add schemata file x86/intel_rdt: Add tasks files x86/intel_rdt: Add cpus file x86/intel_rdt: Add mkdir to resctrl file system x86/intel_rdt: Add "info" files to resctrl file system ...
