X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dcb49710189d104d4edc07709615748dab61341b;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git Merge tag 'x86_cache_for_v7.0_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 resource control updates from Borislav Petkov: - Extend the resctrl machinery to support telemetry monitoring on Intel (Tony Luck) The practical usage of this is being able to tell how much energy or how much work can be attributed to a group of tasks tracked under a single idenitifier. Prepend this work with proper refactoring of resctrl domains handling code. * tag 'x86_cache_for_v7.0_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (30 commits) x86,fs/resctrl: Update documentation for telemetry events x86/resctrl: Enable RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG fs/resctrl: Move RMID initialization to first mount x86,fs/resctrl: Compute number of RMIDs as minimum across resources fs/resctrl: Move allocation/free of closid_num_dirty_rmid[] x86/resctrl: Handle number of RMIDs supported by RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG x86/resctrl: Add energy/perf choices to rdt boot option x86,fs/resctrl: Handle domain creation/deletion for RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG fs/resctrl: Refactor rmdir_mondata_subdir_allrdtgrp() fs/resctrl: Refactor mkdir_mondata_subdir() x86/resctrl: Read telemetry events x86/resctrl: Find and enable usable telemetry events x86,fs/resctrl: Add architectural event pointer x86,fs/resctrl: Fill in details of events for performance and energy GUIDs x86/resctrl: Discover hardware telemetry events fs/resctrl: Emphasize that L3 monitoring resource is required for summing domains x86,fs/resctrl: Add and initialize a resource for package scope monitoring x86,fs/resctrl: Add an architectural hook called for first mount x86,fs/resctrl: Support binary fixed point event counters x86,fs/resctrl: Handle events that can be read from any CPU ... --- dcb49710189d104d4edc07709615748dab61341b diff --cc Documentation/filesystems/resctrl.rst index 5b27321f2313f,45dde87741288..ba609f8d4de57 --- a/Documentation/filesystems/resctrl.rst +++ b/Documentation/filesystems/resctrl.rst @@@ -482,8 -481,26 +481,26 @@@ with the following files "max_threshold_occupancy": Read/write file provides the largest value (in bytes) at which a previously used LLC_occupancy - counter can be considered for re-use. + counter can be considered for reuse. + If telemetry monitoring is available there will be a "PERF_PKG_MON" directory + with the following files: + + "num_rmids": + The number of RMIDs for telemetry monitoring events. + + On Intel resctrl will not enable telemetry events if the number of + RMIDs that can be tracked concurrently is lower than the total number + of RMIDs supported.
