[RFC PATCH 00/36] arm_mpam: Add basic mpam driver

Hello,
This is just enough MPAM driver for the ACPI and DT pre-requisites.
It doesn't contain any of the resctrl code, meaning you can't actually drive it
from user-space yet.
This is the initial group of patches that allows the resctrl code to be built
on top. Including that will increase the number of trees that may need to
coordinate, so breaking it up make sense.
The locking looks very strange - but is influenced by the 'mpam-fb' firmware
interface specification that is still alpha. That thing needs to wait for an
interrupt after every system register write, which significantly impacts the
driver. Some features just won't work, e.g. reading the monitor registers via
perf.
The aim is to not have to make invasive changes to the locking to support the
firmware interface, hence it looks strange from day-1.
I've not found a platform that can test all the behaviours around the monitors,
so this is where I'd expect the most bugs.
It's unclear where in the tree this should be put. It affects memory bandwidth
and cache allocation, but doesn't (yet) interact with perf. The main interaction
is with resctrl in fs/resctrl - but there will be no filesystem code in here.
Its also likely there will be other in-kernel users. (in-kernel MSC emulation by
KVM being an obvious example).
(I'm not a fan of drivers/resctrl or drivers/mpam - its not the sort of thing
that justifies being a 'subsystem'.)
For now, I've put this under drivers/platform/arm64. Other ideas welcome.
The first three patches are currently a series on the list, the PPTT stuff
has previously been posted - this is where the users of those helpers appear.
The MPAM spec that describes all the system and MMIO registers can be found
here:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0598/db/?lang=en
(Ignored the 'RETIRED' warning - that is just arm moving the documentation
around. This document has the best overview)
This series is based on v6.16-rc4, and can be retrieved from:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/morse/linux.git mpam/driver/rfc
The rest of the driver can be found here:
