    Subject[PATCH v5 0/8] Add support for Sub-NUMA cluster (SNC) systems
    Date
    The Sub-NUMA cluster feature on some Intel processors partitions
    the CPUs that share an L3 cache into two or more sets. This plays
    havoc with the Resource Director Technology (RDT) monitoring features.
    Prior to this patch Intel has advised that SNC and RDT are incompatible.

    Some of these CPU support an MSR that can partition the RMID
    counters in the same way. This allows for monitoring features
    to be used (with the caveat that memory accesses between different
    SNC NUMA nodes may still not be counted accuratlely.

    Note that this patch series improves resctrl reporting considerably
    on systems with SNC enabled, but there will still be some anomalies
    for processes accessing memory from other sub-NUMA nodes.

    Changes since v4:

    Rebased to upstream v6.5

    Addressed problems reported by Reinette in follow-up messages to
    v4 posting:

    Broke the patch series into a (hopefully) more logical progression.

    First two patches are infrastructure changes to allow resctrl
    domains to have scopes that are not defined by which CPUs share
    a particular cache instance, and to allow resources to have different
    scope for control an monitor features.

    Patch 3 cleans up some loose ends from the first two patches by
    adding a new variant of the rdt_domain structure with just monitoring
    fields, and removing the monitor fields from the original rdt_domain
    structure since it is now only used for control features.

    Patch 4 adds "node" as a scope option.

    Patch 5 adjusts all code paths that need to be aware of SNC mode.

    Patch 6 detects SNC mode, modifies the MSR that adjusts interpretation
    of physical RMID counters.

    Patch 7 updates documentation.

    Patch 8 does a partial update for the resctrl selftests.

    Tony Luck (8):
    x86/resctrl: Prepare for new domain scope
    x86/resctrl: Prepare for different scope for control/monitor
    operations
    x86/resctrl: Split the rdt_domain structure
    x86/resctrl: Add node-scope to the options for feature scope
    x86/resctrl: Introduce snc_nodes_per_l3_cache
    x86/resctrl: Sub NUMA Cluster detection and enable
    x86/resctrl: Update documentation with Sub-NUMA cluster changes
    selftests/resctrl: Adjust effective L3 cache size when SNC enabled
