Merge tag 'x86_cache_for_v7.2_rc1' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git...

Pull x86 resource control updates from Borislav Petkov:
 "Preparatory work for MPAM counter assignment:

   - Simplify the error handling path when creating monitor group event
     configuration directories

   - Make the MBM event filter configurable only on architectures that
     support it and expose this with the respective file modes in the
     event config

   - Disallow the MBA software controller on systems where MBM counters
     are assignable, as it requires continuous bandwidth measurement
     that assignable counters do not guarantee

   - Replace a compile-time Kconfig option for fixed counter assignment
     with a per-architecture runtime property, and expose whether the
     counter assignment mode is changeable to userspace

   - Continue counter allocation across all domains instead of aborting
     at the first failure

   - Document that automatic MBM counter assignment is best effort and
     may not assign counters to all domains

   - Document the behavior of task ID 0 and idle tasks in the resctrl
     tasks file"
