Merge branch 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 cache resource controller updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "An update for the Intel Resource Director Technolgy (RDT) which adds a
  feedback driven software controller to runtime adjust the bandwidth
  allocation MSRs.

  This makes the allocations more accurate and allows to use bandwidth
  values in understandable units (MB/s) instead of using percentage
  based allocations as the original, still available, interface.

  The software controller can be enabled with a new mount option for the
  resctrl filesystem"

The bandwidth throttling is a core specific mechanism on some of Intel

low bandwidth. The fact that Memory bandwidth allocation(MBA) is a core
specific mechanism where as memory bandwidth monitoring(MBM) is done at
the package level may lead to confusion when users try to apply control
via the MBA and then monitor the bandwidth to see if the controls are
effective. Below are such scenarios:

1. User may *not* see increase in actual bandwidth when percentage
   values are increased:

This can occur when aggregate L2 external bandwidth is more than L3
external bandwidth. Consider an SKL SKU with 24 cores on a package and
where L2 external  is 10GBps (hence aggregate L2 external bandwidth is
240GBps) and L3 external bandwidth is 100GBps. Now a workload with '20
threads, having 50% bandwidth, each consuming 5GBps' consumes the max L3
bandwidth of 100GBps although the percentage value specified is only 50%
<< 100%. Hence increasing the bandwidth percentage will not yeild any
more bandwidth. This is because although the L2 external bandwidth still
has capacity, the L3 external bandwidth is fully used. Also note that
this would be dependent on number of cores the benchmark is run on.

2. Same bandwidth percentage may mean different actual bandwidth
   depending on # of threads:

For the same SKU in #1, a 'single thread, with 10% bandwidth' and '4
thread, with 10% bandwidth' can consume upto 10GBps and 40GBps although
they have same percentage bandwidth of 10%. This is simply because as
threads start using more cores in an rdtgroup, the actual bandwidth may
increase or vary although user specified bandwidth percentage is same.

In order to mitigate this and make the interface more user friendly,
resctrl added support for specifying the bandwidth in MBps as well.  The
kernel underneath would use a software feedback mechanism or a "Software
Controller(mba_sc)" which reads the actual bandwidth using MBM counters
and adjust the memowy bandwidth percentages to ensure

	"actual bandwidth < user specified bandwidth".

By default, the schemata would take the bandwidth percentage values
where as user can switch to the "MBA software controller" mode using
a mount option 'mba_MBps'. The schemata format is specified in the below
sections.

b/w that the group may be able to use and the system admin can configure
the b/w accordingly.

If the MBA is specified in MB(megabytes) then user can enter the max b/w in MB
rather than the percentage values.

# echo "L3:0=3;1=c\nMB:0=1024;1=500" > /sys/fs/resctrl/p0/schemata
# echo "L3:0=3;1=3\nMB:0=1024;1=500" > /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata

In the above example the tasks in "p1" and "p0" on socket 0 would use a max b/w
of 1024MB where as on socket 1 they would use 500MB.
