Information about resources as well as resource groups are contained in a variety of resctrl files. Now that pseudo-locked regions can be created the files can be updated to present appropriate information to the user. Update the resource group's schemata file to show only the information of the pseudo-locked region. Update the resource group's size file to show the size in bytes of only the pseudo-locked region. Update the bit_usage file to use the letter 'P' for all pseudo-locked regions. Signed-off-by:

The user triggers the creation of a pseudo-locked region when writing a valid schemata to the schemata file of a resource group in the pseudo-locksetup mode. A valid schemata is one that: (1) does not overlap with any other resource group, (2) does not involve a cache that already contains a pseudo-locked region within its hierarchy. After a valid schemata is parsed the system is programmed to associate the to be pseudo-lock bitmask with the closid associated with the resource group. With the system set up the pseudo-locked region can be created. Signed-off-by:

The user requests a pseudo-locked region by providing a schemata to a resource group that is in the pseudo-locksetup mode. This is the functionality that consumes the parsed user data and creates the pseudo-locked region. First, required information is deduced from user provided data. This includes, how much memory does the requested bitmask represent, which CPU the requested region is associated with, and what is the cache line size of that cache (to learn the stride needed for locking). Second, a contiguous block of memory matching the requested bitmask is allocated. Finally, pseudo-locking is performed. The resource group already has the allocation that reflects the requested bitmask. With this class of service active and interference minimized, the allocated memory is loaded into the cache.

Knowing the model specific prefetch disable bits is required to support cache pseudo-locking because the hardware prefetchers need to be disabled when the kernel memory is pseudo-locked to cache. We add these bits only for platforms known to support cache pseudo-locking. When the user requests locksetup mode to be entered it will fail if the prefetch disabling bits are not known for the platform. Signed-off-by:

A pseudo-locked region does not have a class of service associated with it and thus not tracked in the array of control values maintained as part of the domain. Even so, when the user provides a new bitmask for another resource group it needs to be checked for interference with existing pseudo-locked regions. Additionally only one pseudo-locked region can be created in any cache hierarchy. Introduce two utilities in support of above scenarios: (1) a utility that can be used to test if a given capacity bitmask overlaps with any pseudo-locked regions associated with a particular cache instance, (2) a utility that can be used to test if a pseudo-locked region exists within a particular cache hierarchy.

Resource groups used for pseudo-locking do not require the same work on removal as the other resource groups. The resource group removal is split in two in preparation for support of pseudo-locking resource groups. A single re-ordering occurs - the setting of the rdtgrp flag is moved to later. This flag is not used by any of the code between its original and new location. Signed-off-by:

The user can request entering pseudo-locksetup mode by writing "pseudo-locksetup" to the mode file. Act on this request as well as support switching from a pseudo-locksetup mode (before pseudo-locked mode was entered). It is not supported to modify the mode once pseudo-locked mode has been entered. The schemata reflects the new mode by adding "uninitialized" to all resources. The size resctrl file reports zero for all cache domains in support of the uninitialized nature. Since there are no users of this class of service its allocations can be ignored when searching for appropriate default allocations for new resource groups. For the same reason resource groups in pseudo-locksetup mode are not considered when testing if new resource groups may overlap. Signed-off-by:

The locksetup mode is the way in which the user communicates that the resource group will be used for a pseudo-locked region. Locksetup mode should thus ensure that all restrictions on a resource group are met before locksetup mode can be entered. The resource group should also be configured to ensure that it cannot be modified in unsupported ways when a pseudo-locked region. Introduce the support where the request for entering locksetup mode can be validated. This includes: CDP is not active, no cpus or tasks are assigned to the resource group, monitoring is not in progress on the resource group. Once the resource group is determined ready for a pseudo-locked region it is configured to not allow future changes to these properties. Signed-off-by:

A pseudo-locked region is introduced representing an instance of a pseudo-locked cache region. Each cache instance (domain) can support one pseudo-locked region. Similarly a resource group can be used for one pseudo-locked region. Include a pointer to a pseudo-locked region from the domain and resource group structures. Signed-off-by:

When a resource group is pseudo-locked it is orphaned without a class of service associated with it. We thus do not want any monitoring in progress on a resource group that will be used for pseudo-locking. Introduce a test that can be used to determine if pseudo-locking in progress on a resource group. Temporarily mark it as unused to avoid compile warnings until it is used. Signed-off-by:

In support of Cache Pseudo-Locking we need to restrict access to specific resctrl files to protect the state of a resource group used for pseudo-locking from being changed in unsupported ways. Introduce two utilities that can be used to either restrict or restore the access to all files irrelevant to cache pseudo-locking when pseudo-locking in progress for the resource group. At this time introduce a new source file, intel_rdt_pseudo_lock.c, that will contain most of the code related to cache pseudo-locking. Temporarily mark these new functions as unused to silence compile warnings until they are used. Signed-off-by:

We intend to modify file permissions to make the "tasks", "cpus", and "cpus_list" not accessible to the user when cache pseudo-locking in progress. Even so, it is still possible for the user to force the file permissions (using chmod) to make them writeable. Similarly, directory permissions will be modified to prevent future monitor group creation but the user can override these restrictions also. Add additional checks to the files we intend to restrict to ensure that no modifications from user space are attempted while setting up a pseudo-locking or after a pseudo-locked region is set up.

When a resource group is used for Cache Pseudo-Locking then the region of cache ends up being orphaned with no class of service referring to it. The resctrl files intended to manage how the classes of services are utilized thus become irrelevant. The fact that a resctrl file is not relevant can be communicated to the user by setting all of its permissions to zero. That is, its read, write, and execute permissions are unset for all users. Introduce two utilities, rdtgroup_kn_mode_restrict() and rdtgroup_kn_mode_restore(), that can be used to restrict and restore the permissions of a file or directory belonging to a resource group.

By default, if the opener has CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE, a kernfs file can be opened regardless of RW permissions. Writing to a kernfs file will thus succeed even if permissions are 0000. It's required to restrict the actions that can be performed on a resource group from userspace based on the mode of the resource group. This restriction will be done through a modification of the file permissions. That is, for example, if a resource group is locked then the user cannot add tasks to the resource group. For this restriction through file permissions to work it has to be ensured that the permissions are always respected. To do so the resctrl filesystem is created with the KERNFS_ROOT_EXTRA_OPEN_PERM_CHECK flag that will result in open(2) failing with -EACCESS regardless of CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE if the permission does not have the respective read or write access.

The two modes used to manage Cache Pseudo-Locked regions are introduced. A resource group is assigned "pseudo-locksetup" mode when the user indicates that this resource group will be used for a Cache Pseudo-Locked region. When the Cache Pseudo-Locked region has been set up successfully after the user wrote the requested schemata to the "schemata" file, then the mode will automatically changed to "pseudo-locked". The user is not able to modify the mode to "pseudo-locked" by writing "pseudo-locked" to the "mode" file directly. Signed-off-by:

The schemata file displays the allocations associated with each domain of each resource. The syntax of this file reflects the capacity bitmask (CBM) of the actual allocation. In order to determine the actual size of an allocation the user needs to dig through three different files to query the variables needed to compute it (the cache size, the CBM length, and the schemata). Introduce a new file "size" associated with each resource group that will mirror the schemata file syntax and display the size in bytes of each allocation. Signed-off-by:

With cache regions now explicitly marked as "shareable" or "exclusive" we would like to communicate to the user how portions of the cache are used. Introduce "bit_usage" that indicates for each resource how portions of the cache are configured to be used. To assist the user to distinguish whether the sharing is from software or hardware we add the following annotation: 0 - currently unused X - currently available for sharing and used by software and hardware H - currently used by hardware only but available for software use S - currently used and shareable by software only E - currently used exclusively by one resource group Signed-off-by:

When the administrator requests a change in a resource group's schemata we have to ensure that the new schemata respects the current resource group as well as the other active resource groups' schemata. The new schemata is not allowed to overlap with the schemata of any exclusive resource groups. Similarly, if the resource group being changed is exclusive then its new schemata is not allowed to overlap with any schemata of any other active resource group. Signed-off-by:

Each resource is associated with a configurable callback that should be used to parse the information provided for the particular resource from user space. In addition to the resource and domain pointers this callback is provided with just the character buffer being parsed. In support of flexible parsing the callback is modified to support a void pointer as argument. This enables resources that need more data than just the user provided data to pass its required data to the callback without affecting the signatures for the callbacks of all the other resources.

cbm_validate() receives a pointer to the variable that will be initialized with a validated capacity bitmask. The pointer points to a variable of type unsigned long that is immediately assigned to a variable of type u32 by the caller on return from cbm_validate(). Let cbm_validate() initialize a variable of type u32 directly. At this time also change tha variable name "data" within parse_cbm() to a name more reflective of the content: "cbm_val". This frees up the generic "data" to be used later when it is indeed used for a collection of input. Signed-off-by:

The new "mode" file now accepts "exclusive" that means that the allocations of this resource group cannot be shared. Enable users to modify a resource group's mode to "exclusive". To succeed it is required that there is no overlap between resource group's current schemata and that of all the other active resource groups as well as cache regions potentially used by other hardware entities.

At the moment all allocations are shareable. There is no way for a user to designate that an allocation associated with a resource group cannot be shared by another. Introduce the new mode "exclusive". When a resource group is marked as such it implies that no overlap is allowed between its allocation and that of another resource group. Signed-off-by:

Currently when a new resource group is created its allocations would be those that belonged to the resource group to which its closid belonged previously. That is, we can encounter a case like: mkdir newgroup cat newgroup/schemata L2:0=ff;1=ff echo 'L2:0=0xf0;1=0xf0' > newgroup/schemata cat newgroup/schemata L2:0=0xf0;1=0xf0 rmdir newgroup mkdir newnewgroup cat newnewgroup/schemata L2:0=0xf0;1=0xf0 When the new group is created it would be reasonable to expect its allocations to be initialized with all regions that it can possibly use. At this time these regions would be all that are shareable by other resource groups as well as regions that are not currently used. If the available cache region is found to be non-contiguous the available region is adjusted to enforce validity. When a new resource group is created the hardware is initialized with these new default allocations. Signed-off-by:

During CAT feature discovery the capacity bitmasks (CBMs) associated with all the classes of service are initialized to all ones, even if the class of service is not in use. Introduce a test that can be used to determine if a class of service is in use. This test enables code interested in parsing the CBMs to know if its values are meaningful or can be ignored.

Each RDT resource group is associated with a mode that will reflect the level of sharing of its allocations. The default, shareable, will be associated with each resource group on creation since it is zero and resource groups are created with kzalloc. The managing of the mode of a resource group will follow. The default resource group always remain though so ensure that it is reset to the default mode when the resctrl filesystem is unmounted. Also introduce a utility that can be used to determine the mode of a resource group when it is searched for based on its class of service. Signed-off-by:

At this time there are no constraints on how bitmasks represented by schemata can be associated with closids represented by resource groups. A bitmask of one class of service can without any objections overlap with the bitmask of another class of service. The concept of "mode" is introduced in preparation for support of control over whether cache regions can be shared between classes of service. At this time the only mode reflects the current cache allocations where all can potentially be shared. Signed-off-by:

By default resource groups allow sharing of their cache allocations. There is nothing that prevents a resource group from configuring a cache allocation that overlaps with that of an existing resource group. To enable resource groups to specify that their cache allocations cannot be shared a resource group "mode" is introduced to support two possible modes: "shareable" and "exclusive". A "shareable" resource group allows sharing of its cache allocations, an "exclusive" resource group does not. A new resctrl file "mode" associated with each resource group is used to communicate its (the associated resource group's) mode setting and allow the mode to be changed. The new "mode" file as well as two other resctrl files, "bit_usage" and "size", are introduced in this series. Add documentation for the three new resctrl files as well as one example demonstrating their use. Signed-off-by:

Stephen Rothwell reported that the Cache Pseudo-Locking enabling and the kernfs support for mounting with fs_context are conflicting. In preparation for a conflict-free merge between the two repos some no-op hooks are created within the RDT mount function being changed by the two features. The goal is for this commit to be placed on a minimal no-rebase branch to be consumed by both features. Reported-by:
