v4 cover Cqm3 support based on resctrl along with MBM

Sending some fixes to V3 as per discussions with Thomas. This is on top of the merged patches in tip and contains the following:

- a fix to MBM hot cpu handling to avoid doubling of the overflow timer interval.

- some changes to the limbo RMID processing patch to make corrections to handle the rmid->busy correctly in case of domain going offline and to use the correct work_cpu.

PATCH v4 1/2 x86/intel_rdt/mbm: Fix MBM overflow handler during hot cpu

When a CPU is dying, we cancel the worker and schedule a new worker on a different CPU on the same domain. But if the timer is already about to expire (say 0.99s) then we essentially double the interval.

We modify the hot cpu handling to cancel the delayed work on the dying cpu and run the worker immediately on a different cpu in same domain. We donot flush the worker because the MBM overflow worker reschedules the worker on same CPU and scans the domain->cpu_mask to get the domain pointer.

You could alternatively use flush and make the worker code schedule the work on a still online CPU in the domain instead of blindly rescheduling it on the same CPU.

You could alternatively use flush and make the worker code schedule the work on a still online CPU in the domain instead of blindly rescheduling it on the same CPU.

We looked at that when you suggested flush. The problem is that we have already deleted the current cpu from the bitmask for the domain. So the worker code doesn't know which domain it is running on, so can't pick another.

If we try to do the flush before dropping the cpu from the bitmask, then the worker code doesn't have any reason to pick a different CPU.

Is there is some cheap "I'm running on a CPU that is in the process of going offline" test that we could make in the worker code?

Don't think so. It was just a thought, but the code as provided is fine and merged as is.

x86/intel_rdt/mbm: Fix MBM overflow handler during CPU hotplug

When a CPU is dying, the overflow worker is canceled and rescheduled on a different CPU in the same domain. But if the timer is already about to expire this essentially doubles the interval which might result in a non detected overflow.

Cancel the overflow worker and reschedule it immediately on a different CPU in same domain. The work could be flushed as well, but that would reschedule it on the same CPU.

PATCH v4 2/2 x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Improve limbo list processing

In reply to Vikas Shivappa

During a mkdir, we synchronously check the entire limbo list on each package for free RMIDs by sending IPIs and the worst case would end up taking more than tolerable amount of time in IPIs. For ex: On SKL we could end up reading all 192 RMIDs for llc_occupancy.

Modify this to make some improvements mainly avoiding the use of IPIs. We use asynchronous worker threads on each package which would periodically scan the limbo list and move the RMIDs that have:

llc_occupancy < threshold_occupancy

on all packages to free list. The mkdir would simply return -ENOSPC if the limbo list is empty or would return -EBUSY if there are RMIDs on limbo but not on free list. As a side effect of not accessing the limbo list in parallel on IPIs we simplify some of the related data structures.

x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Improve limbo list processing

During a mkdir, the entire limbo list is synchronously checked on each package for free RMIDs by sending IPIs. With a large number of RMIDs (SKL has 192) this creates a intolerable amount of work in IPIs.

Replace the IPI based checking of the limbo list with asynchronous worker threads on each package which periodically scan the limbo list and move the RMIDs that have:

llc_occupancy < threshold_occupancy

on all packages to the free list.

mkdir now returns -ENOSPC if the free list and the limbo list ere empty or returns -EBUSY if there are RMIDs on the limbo list and the free list is empty.

Getting rid of the IPIs also simplifies the data structures and the serialization required for handling the lists.
