[PATCH mpam mpam/snapshot/v6.14-rc1 v2 0/5] arm_mpam: Introduce the Narrow-PARTID feature for MPAM driver

[Zeng Heng]

The patch set is applied for mpam/snapshot/v6.14-rc1 branch of
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/morse/linux.git
repository.

The narrow-partid feature in MPAM allows for a more efficient use of
PARTIDs by enabling a many-to-one mapping of reqpartids (requested PARTIDs)
to intpartids (internal PARTIDs). This mapping reduces the number of unique
PARTIDs needed, thus allowing more tasks or processes to be monitored and
managed with the available resources.

For a mixture of MSCs system, for MSCs that do not support narrow-partid,
we use the PARTIDs exceeding the number of closids as reqPARTIDs for
expanding the monitoring groups.

Therefore, we will expand the information contained in the RMID, so that it
includes not only PMG, but also reqPARTIDs information. The new RMID would
be like:

    RMID = (reqPARTID << shift | PMG).

Each control group has m (req)PARTIDs, which are used to expand the
number of monitoring groups under one control group. Therefore, the number
of monitoring groups is no longer limited by the range of MPAM's PMG, which
enhances the extensibility of the system's monitoring capabilities.

Compared with v1:
  - Redefine the RMID information.
  - Refactor the resctrl_arch_rmid_idx_decode() and
    resctrl_arch_rmid_idx_encode().
  - Simplify closid_rmid2reqpartid() to rmid2reqpartid() and replace it
    accordingly.

Compared with RFC-v4:
  - Rebase the patch set on the v6.14-rc1 branch.

Compared with RFC-v3:
  - Add limitation of the Narrow-PARTID feature (See Patch 2).
  - Remove redundant reqpartid2closid() and reqpartid_pmg2rmid().
  - Refactor closid_rmid2reqpartid() partially.
  - Merge the PARTID conversion-related patches into a single patch for
    bisectability.
  - Skip adaptation of resctrl_arch_set_rmid() which is going to be
    removed.

Compared with RFC-v2:
  - Refactor closid/rmid pair translation.
  - Simplify the logic of synchronize configuration.
  - Remove reqPARTID source bitmap.

Compared with RFC-v1:
  - Rebase this patch set on latest MPAM driver of the v6.12-rc1 branch.
