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 ]

Here's the new driver core patches for 4.10-rc1.
Big thing here is the nice addition of "functional dependencies" to the
driver core. The idea has been talked about for a very long time, great
job to Rafael for stepping up and implementing it. It's been tested for
longer than the 4.9-rc1 date, we held off on merging it earlier in order
to feel more comfortable about it.
Other than that, it's just a handful of small other patches, some good
cleanups to the mess that is the firmware class code, and we have a test
driver for the deferred probe logic.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

Few architectures like x86, ia64 and s390 derive the cache topology and
all the properties using a specific architected mechanism while some
other architectures like powerpc all those information id derived from
the device tree.
On ARM, both the mechanism is used. While all the cache properties can
be derived in a architected way, it needs to rely on device tree to get
the cache topology information.
However there are few platforms where this architected mechanism is
broken and the device tree properties can be used to override these
incorrect values.
This patch adds support for overriding the cache properties values to
the values specified in the device tree.

ARM64 enables both CONFIG_OF and CONFIG_ACPI and the firmware can pass
both ACPI tables and the device tree. Based on the kernel parameter, one
of the two will be chosen. If acpi is enabled, then device tree is not
unflattened.
Currently ARM64 platforms report:
"
Failed to find cpu0 device node
Unable to detect cache hierarchy from DT for CPU 0
"
which is incorrect when booting with ACPI. Also latest ACPI v6.1 has no
support for cache properties/hierarchy.
This patch adds check for unflattened device tree and also returns as
"not supported" if ACPI is runtime enabled.
It also removes the reference to DT from the error message as the cache
hierarchy can be detected from the firmware(OF/DT/ACPI)

With CONFIG_OF enabled on x86, we get the following error on boot:
"
Failed to find cpu0 device node
Unable to detect cache hierarchy from DT for CPU 0
"
and the cacheinfo fails to get populated in the corresponding sysfs
entries. This is because cache_setup_of_node looks for of_node for
setting up the shared cpu_map without checking that it's already
populated in the architecture specific callback.
In order to indicate that the shared cpu_map is already populated, this
patch introduces a boolean `cpu_map_populated` in struct cpu_cacheinfo
that can be used by the generic code to skip cache_shared_cpu_map_setup.
This patch also sets that boolean for x86.

Cache management software needs an id for each instance of a cache of
a particular type.
The current cacheinfo structure does not provide any information about
the underlying hardware so there is no way to expose it.
Hardware with cache management features provides means (cpuid, enumeration
etc.) to retrieve the hardware id of a particular cache instance. Cache
instances which share hardware have the same hardware id.
Add an 'id' field to struct cacheinfo to store this information. Expose
this information under the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/
directory as well.

cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() did check sibling CPUs cacheinfo descriptor

Fix that.
>From tglx's version: to be on the safe side, move the cacheinfo
descriptor check to free_cache_attributes(), thus cleaning up the
hotplug path a little and making this even more robust.

On architectures that depend on DT for obtaining cache hierarcy, we need
to validate the device node for all the cache indices, failing to do so
might result in wrong information being exposed to the userspace.
This is quite possible on initial/incomplete versions of the device
trees. In such cases, it's better to bail out if all the required device
nodes are not present.
This patch adds checks for the validation of device node for all the
caches and doesn't initialise the cacheinfo if there's any error.

This patch adds initial support for providing processor cache information
to userspace through sysfs interface. This is based on already existing
implementations(x86, ia64, s390 and powerpc) and hence the interface is
intended to be fully compatible.
The main purpose of this generic support is to avoid further code
duplication to support new architectures and also to unify all the existing
different implementations.
This implementation maintains the hierarchy of cache objects which reflects
the system's cache topology. Cache devices are instantiated as needed as
CPUs come online. The cache information is replicated per-cpu even if they are
shared. A per-cpu array of cache information maintained is used mainly for
sysfs-related book keeping.
It also implements the shared_cpu_map attribute, which is essential for
enabling both kernel and user-space to discover the system's overall cache
topology.
This patch also add the missing ABI documentation for the cacheinfo sysfs
interface already, which is well defined and widely used.
