Subject: [PATCH v17 24/32] x86/resctrl: Add energy/perf choices to rdt boot option
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 09:21:11 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251217172121.12030-25-tony.luck@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251217172121.12030-1-tony.luck@intel.com>
Legacy resctrl features are enumerated by X86_FEATURE_* flags. These may be
overridden by quirks to disable features in the case of errata. Users can
use kernel command line options to either disable a feature, or to force
enable a feature that was disabled by a quirk.
A different approach is needed for hardware features that do not have an
X86_FEATURE_* flag.
Update parsing of the "rdt=" boot parameter to call the telemetry driver
directly to handle new "perf" and "energy" options that controls activation
of telemetry monitoring of the named type. By itself a "perf" or "energy" option
controls the forced enabling or disabling (with ! prefix) of all event groups of
the named type. A ":guid" suffix allows for fine grain control per event group.
