<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

L3 monitor features are enumerated during resctrl initialization and
rmid_ptrs[] that tracks all RMIDs and depends on the number of supported
RMIDs is allocated during this time.

Telemetry monitor features are enumerated during first resctrl mount and
may support a different number of RMIDs compared to L3 monitor features.

Delay allocation and initialization of rmid_ptrs[] until first mount.
Since the number of RMIDs cannot change on later mounts, keep the same set of
rmid_ptrs[] until resctrl_exit(). This is required because the limbo handler
keeps running after resctrl is unmounted and needs to access rmid_ptrs[]
as it keeps tracking busy RMIDs after unmount.

Rename routines to match what they now do:
dom_data_init() -&gt; setup_rmid_lru_list()
dom_data_exit() -&gt; free_rmid_lru_list()

closid_num_dirty_rmid[] and rmid_ptrs[] are allocated together during resctrl
initialization and freed together during resctrl exit.

Telemetry events are enumerated on resctrl mount so only at resctrl mount will
the number of RMID supported by all monitoring resources and needed as size
for rmid_ptrs[] be known.

Separate closid_num_dirty_rmid[] and rmid_ptrs[] allocation and free in
preparation for rmid_ptrs[] to be allocated on resctrl mount.

Keep the rdtgroup_mutex protection around the allocation and free of
closid_num_dirty_rmid[] as ARM needs this to guarantee memory ordering.

Introduce intel_aet_read_event() to read telemetry events for resource
RDT_RESOURCE_PERF_PKG. There may be multiple aggregators tracking each
package, so scan all of them and add up all counters. Aggregators may return
an invalid data indication if they have received no records for a given RMID.
The user will see "Unavailable" if none of the aggregators on a package
provide valid counts.

Resctrl now uses readq() so depends on X86_64. Update Kconfig.

Every event group has a private copy of the data of all telemetry event
aggregators (aka "telemetry regions") tracking its feature type. Included
may be regions that have the same feature type but tracking different GUID
from the event group's.

Traverse the event group's telemetry region data and mark all regions that
are not usable by the event group as unusable by clearing those regions'
MMIO addresses. A region is considered unusable if:
1) GUID does not match the GUID of the event group.
2) Package ID is invalid.
3) The enumerated size of the MMIO region does not match the expected
   value from the XML description file.

Hereafter any telemetry region with an MMIO address is considered valid for
the event group it is associated with.

Enable all the event group's events as long as there is at least one usable
region from where data for its events can be read. Enabling of an event can
fail if the same event has already been enabled as part of another event
group. It should never happen that the same event is described by different
GUID supported by the same system so just WARN (via resctrl_enable_mon_event())
and skip the event.

Note that it is architecturally possible that some telemetry events are only
supported by a subset of the packages in the system. It is not expected that
systems will ever do this. If they do the user will see event files in resctrl
that always return "Unavailable".

The resctrl file system layer passes the domain, RMID, and event id to the
architecture to fetch an event counter.

Fetching a telemetry event counter requires additional information that is
private to the architecture, for example, the offset into MMIO space from
where the counter should be read.

Add mon_evt::arch_priv that architecture can use for any private data related
to the event. The resctrl filesystem initializes mon_evt::arch_priv when the
architecture enables the event and passes it back to architecture when needing
to fetch an event counter.

<content type='text'>
The telemetry event aggregators of the Intel Clearwater Forest CPU support two
RMID-based feature types: "energy" with GUID 0x26696143¹, and "perf" with
GUID 0x26557651².

The event counter offsets in an aggregator's MMIO space are arranged in groups
for each RMID.

E.g., the "energy" counters for GUID 0x26696143 are arranged like this:

  MMIO offset:0x0000 Counter for RMID 0 PMT_EVENT_ENERGY
  MMIO offset:0x0008 Counter for RMID 0 PMT_EVENT_ACTIVITY
  MMIO offset:0x0010 Counter for RMID 1 PMT_EVENT_ENERGY
  MMIO offset:0x0018 Counter for RMID 1 PMT_EVENT_ACTIVITY
  ...
  MMIO offset:0x23F0 Counter for RMID 575 PMT_EVENT_ENERGY
  MMIO offset:0x23F8 Counter for RMID 575 PMT_EVENT_ACTIVITY

After all counters there are three status registers that provide indications
of how many times an aggregator was unable to process event counts, the time
stamp for the most recent loss of data, and the time stamp of the most recent
successful update.

  MMIO offset:0x2400 AGG_DATA_LOSS_COUNT
  MMIO offset:0x2408 AGG_DATA_LOSS_TIMESTAMP
  MMIO offset:0x2410 LAST_UPDATE_TIMESTAMP

Define event_group structures for both of these aggregator types and define
the events tracked by the aggregators in the file system code.

PMT_EVENT_ENERGY and PMT_EVENT_ACTIVITY are produced in fixed point format.
File system code must output as floating point values.

resctrl assumes that all monitor events can be displayed as unsigned decimal
integers.

Hardware architecture counters may provide some telemetry events with greater
precision where the event is not a simple count, but is a measurement of some
sort (e.g. Joules for energy consumed).

Add a new argument to resctrl_enable_mon_event() for architecture code to
inform the file system that the value for a counter is a fixed-point value
with a specific number of binary places.

Only allow architecture to use floating point format on events that the file
system has marked with mon_evt::is_floating_point which reflects the contract
with user space on how the event values are displayed.

Display fixed point values with values rounded to ceil(binary_bits * log10(2))
decimal places. Special case for zero binary bits to print "{value}.0".

resctrl assumes that monitor events can only be read from a CPU in the
cpumask_t set of each domain.  This is true for x86 events accessed with an
MSR interface, but may not be true for other access methods such as MMIO.

Introduce and use flag mon_evt::any_cpu, settable by architecture, that
indicates there are no restrictions on which CPU can read that event.  This
flag is not supported by the L3 event reading that requires to be run on a CPU
that belongs to the L3 domain of the event being read.
