Chen Yu reported an issue where reading the resctrl "size" file results in a divide-by-zero issue on a system with a MBA resource. Further investigation revealed more issues where the recent RDT features are not well integrated with the MBA resource handling.
This series consists out of: - One helper function in support of fixes that need to know the number of supported CLOSIDs on the system (the minimum of all CLOSIDs of all resources). - The fix to the issue reported by Chen Yu - now reading a resource group's "size" file will show a MB resource's allocation as its size. - A fix from Xiaochen Shen to the MB parsing callback that was never changed to accept a new parameter format. - Functions that iterate over the number of CLOSIDs need to take care whether it is using a particular resource's supported CLOSIDs or the number of CLOSIDs supported by the system. This was done incorrectly in a few places and fixed here. - When a new resource group is created it is intended to be configured with sane defaults. This new feature blindly assumed that the resource group only consists out of cache resources - make this explicit to not cause invalid register writes on a system with MBA resources. - The new "exclusive" mode assumes that all resources support a CBM, while a MBA resource does not. Since the MBA resource allocations cannot be done in a way to specify whether allocations can overlap or not the "exclusive" mode of a resource group will only apply to the cache resources within the group, if only a MBA resource is present then "exclusive" mode will not be allowed.
