Peter is objecting to the direct PMU access in RDT. Right now the PMU usage
is broken anyway as it is not coordinated with perf.
Until this discussion settled, disable the PMU mechanics by simply
rejecting the type '2' measurement in the resctrl file.

rdtgroup_mutex is already being released temporarily during pseudo-lock

debugfs creation into this area to avoid the same circular dependency.

When a resource group enters pseudo-locksetup mode it reflects that the
platform supports cache pseudo-locking and the resource group is unused,
ready to be used for a pseudo-locked region. Until it is set up as a
pseudo-locked region the resource group is "locked down" such that no new
tasks or cpus can be assigned to it. This is accomplished in a user visible
way by making the cpus, cpus_list, and tasks resctrl files inaccassible
(user cannot read from or write to these files).
When the resource group changes to pseudo-locked mode it represents a cache
pseudo-locked region. While not appropriate to make any changes to the cpus
assigned to this region it is useful to make it easy for the user to see
which cpus are associated with the pseudo-locked region.
Modify the permissions of the cpus/cpus_list file when the resource group
changes to pseudo-locked mode to support reading (not writing). The
information presented to the user when reading the file are the cpus
associated with the pseudo-locked region.

As the mode of a resource group changes, the operations it can support may
also change. One way in which the supported operations are managed is to
modify the permissions of the files within the resource group's resctrl
directory.
At the moment only two possible permissions are supported: the default
permissions or no permissions in support for when the operation is "locked
down". It is possible where an operation on a resource group may have more
possibilities. For example, if by default changes can be made to the
resource group by writing to a resctrl file while the current settings can
be obtained by reading from the file, then it may be possible that in
another mode it is only possible to read the current settings, and not
change them.
Make it possible to modify some of the permissions of a resctrl file in
support of a more flexible way to manage the operations on a resource
group. In this preparation work the original behavior is maintained where
all permissions are restored.

When a resource group enters pseudo-locksetup mode a pseudo_lock_region is
associated with it. When the user writes to the resource group's schemata
file the CBM of the requested pseudo-locked region is entered into the
pseudo_lock_region struct. If any part of pseudo-lock region creation fails
the resource group will remain in pseudo-locksetup mode with the
pseudo_lock_region associated with it.
In case of failure during pseudo-lock region creation care needs to be
taken to ensure that the pseudo_lock_region struct associated with the
resource group is cleared from any pseudo-locking data - especially the
CBM. This is because the existence of a pseudo_lock_region struct with a
CBM is significant in other areas of the code, for example, the display of
bit_usage and initialization of a new resource group.
Fix the error path of pseudo-lock region creation to ensure that the
pseudo_lock_region struct is cleared at each error exit.

There is no simple yes/no test to determine if pseudo-locking was
successful. In order to test pseudo-locking we expose a debugfs file for
each pseudo-locked region that will record the latency of reading the
pseudo-locked memory at a stride of 32 bytes (hardcoded). These numbers
will give us an idea of locking was successful or not since they will
reflect cache hits and cache misses (hardware prefetching is disabled
during the test).
The new debugfs file "pseudo_lock_measure" will, when the
pseudo_lock_mem_latency tracepoint is enabled, record the latency of
accessing each cache line twice.
Kernel tracepoints offer us histograms (when CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS is
enabled) that is a simple way to visualize the memory access latency
and immediately see any cache misses. For example, the hist trigger
below before trigger of the measurement will display the memory access
latency and instances at each latency:
echo 'hist:keys=latency' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/resctrl/\
pseudo_lock_mem_latency/trigger
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/resctrl/pseudo_lock_mem_latency/enable
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/resctrl/<newlock>/pseudo_lock_measure
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/resctrl/pseudo_lock_mem_latency/enable
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/resctrl/pseudo_lock_mem_latency/hist

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.

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.

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.
