Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] selftests/resctrl: Recognise aarch64 as a vendor for L3_NONCONT_CAT
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 11:59:43 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722035943.32337-4-icheng@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722035943.32337-1-icheng@nvidia.com>
aarch64 has no vendor_id in /proc/cpuinfo, so detect_vendor() returns 0
and arch_supports_noncont_cat() falls through to "return false".
L3_NONCONT_CAT therefore spuriously fails on every ARM MPAM platform.
Define ARCH_ARM, short-circuit detect_vendor() to it on aarch64, and
add it to the AMD/Hygon always-supports early-out in
arch_supports_noncont_cat().
aarch64 has many implementers (ARM 0x41, NVIDIA 0x43, etc.), but MPAM
mandates non-contiguous CPBM uniformly, so per-implementer handling is
not needed here.
