Subject: [PATCH v15 10/34] fs/resctrl: Introduce the interface to display monitoring modes
Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2025 17:17:19 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5a819dc9d57feda5cced21f67b4b1d68e5a80500.1752013061.git.babu.moger@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1752013061.git.babu.moger@amd.com>

Introduce the resctrl file "mbm_assign_mode" to list the supported counter
assignment modes.

The "mbm_event" counter assignment mode allows users to assign a hardware
counter to an RMID, event pair and monitor bandwidth usage as long as it is
assigned. The hardware continues to track the assigned counter until it is
explicitly unassigned by the user. Each event within a resctrl group can be
assigned independently in this mode.

On AMD systems "mbm_event" mode is backed by the ABMC (Assignable
Bandwidth Monitoring Counters) hardware feature and is enabled by default.

The "default" mode is the existing mode that works without the explicit
counter assignment, instead relying on dynamic counter assignment by
hardware that may result in hardware not dedicating a counter resulting
in monitoring data reads returning "Unavailable".

Provide an interface to display the monitor modes on the system.

$ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
[mbm_event]
default

Add IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED) check to support Arm64.

On x86, CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED is not defined. On Arm64, it will be
defined when the "mbm_event" mode is supported.

Add IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED) check early to ensure the user
interface remains compatible with upcoming Arm64 support. IS_ENABLED()
safely evaluates to 0 when the configuration is not defined.

As a result, for MPAM, the display would be either:
[default]
or
[mbm_event]

v15: Minor text changes in changelog and resctrl.rst.

v14: Changed the name of the monitor mode to mbm_cntr_evt_assign based on the discussion.
     https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/7628cec8-5914-4895-8289-027e7821777e@amd.com/
     Changed the name of the mbm_assign_mode's.
     Updated resctrl.rst for mbm_event mode.
     Changed subject line to fs/resctrl.

v13: Updated the commit log with motivation for adding CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED.
     Added fflag RFTYPE_RES_CACHE for mbm_assign_mode file.
     Updated user doc. Removed the references to "mbm_assign_control".
     Resolved the conflicts with latest FS/ARCH code restructure.

v12: Minor text update in change log and user documentation.
     Added the check CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED to take care of arm platforms.
     This will be defined only in arm and not in x86.

v11: Renamed rdtgroup_mbm_assign_mode_show() to resctrl_mbm_assign_mode_show().
     Removed few texts in resctrl.rst about AMD specific information.
     Updated few texts.

v10: Added few more text to user documentation clarify on the default mode.

v9: Updated user documentation based on comments.

v8: Commit message update.

v7: Updated the descriptions/commit log in resctrl.rst to generic text.
    Thanks to James and Reinette.
    Rename mbm_mode to mbm_assign_mode.
    Introduced mutex lock in rdtgroup_mbm_mode_show().

v6: Added documentation for mbm_cntr_assign and legacy mode.
    Moved mbm_mode fflags initialization to static initialization.

v5: Changed interface name to mbm_mode.
    It will be always available even if ABMC feature is not supported.
    Added description in resctrl.rst about ABMC mode.
    Fixed display abmc and legacy consistantly.

v4: Fixed the checks for legacy and abmc mode. Default it ABMC.

v3: New patch to display ABMC capability.
