Customers have identified an issue while using the QoS resource Control
feature. If a memory bandwidth associated with a CLOSID is aggressively
throttled, and it moves into Kernel mode, the Kernel operations are also
aggressively throttled. This can stall forward progress and eventually
degrade overall system performance. AMD hardware supports a feature
Privilege-Level Zero Association (PLZA) to change the association of the
thread as soon as it begins executing.
Privilege-Level Zero Association (PLZA) allows the user to specify a CLOSID
and/or RMID associated with execution in Privilege-Level Zero. When enabled
on a HW thread, when the thread enters Privilege-Level Zero, transactions
associated with that thread will be associated with the PLZA CLOSID and/or
RMID. Otherwise, the HW thread will be associated with the CLOSID and RMID
identified by PQR_ASSOC.
Add PLZA support to resctrl and introduce a kernel parameter that allows
enabling or disabling the feature at boot time.
The GLBE feature details are documented in:

Privilege Level Zero Association (PLZA) is configured per logical processor
via MSR_IA32_PQR_PLZA_ASSOC (0xc00003fc). Software must program RMID and
CLOSID association fields and their enable bits using the layout defined
for the MSR.
Define MSR_IA32_PQR_PLZA_ASSOC and the RMID_EN, CLOSID_EN, and PLZA_EN bit
masks in asm/msr-index.h. Add union msr_pqr_plza_assoc in arch resctrl
internal.h

Privilege-Level Zero Association (PLZA) allows the user to specify a CLOSID
and/or RMID associated with execution in Privilege-Level Zero. Introduce a
generic enumeration so that architecture and generic code can agree on the
available policies.
Introduce enum resctrl_kernel_modes with the following values:
- INHERIT_CTRL_AND_MON: kernel and user tasks share the same CLOSID and
RMID. This is the default and matches today's resctrl behaviour.
- GLOBAL_ASSIGN_CTRL_INHERIT_MON_PER_CPU: a CLOSID is assigned for kernel
work while the RMID used for monitoring is inherited from the running
user task. The default scope is all online CPUs and may be narrowed to
a subset via the resctrl group interface. A CTRL_MON group can be
bound to this mode.
- GLOBAL_ASSIGN_CTRL_ASSIGN_MON_PER_CPU: both CLOSID and RMID are
assigned to kernel work. The default scope is all online CPUs and may
be narrowed per CPU via the resctrl group interface. A CTRL_MON group
can be bound to this mode.
- RESCTRL_KMODE_LAST: highest enumerator naming a policy mode.
- RESCTRL_NUM_KERNEL_MODES: number of policy modes; use this to size
static tables indexed by mode.
Also add struct resctrl_kmode_cfg (the snapshot architecture code returns)
in include/linux/resctrl_types.h, and declare
resctrl_arch_get_kmode_support() in include/linux/resctrl.h so architecture
code can advertise the supported modes.

AMD Privilege Level Zero Association (PLZA) exposes kernel CLOSID/RMID
association through MSR_IA32_PQR_PLZA_ASSOC. Generic resctrl already
tracks supported and effective kernel-mode policy in struct
resctrl_kmode_cfg, but the architecture layer needs a callable entry point
that can push those values into per-CPU hardware on a chosen CPU mask.
Declare resctrl_arch_configure_kmode() in linux/resctrl.h with kernel-doc.
Implement it on x86: add an SMP callback that writes
MSR_IA32_PQR_PLZA_ASSOC on each targeted CPU, and use on_each_cpu_mask()
for the broadcast.
The hook is unused in this patch; later patches in the series wire it into
generic resctrl when an effective kernel-mode policy is selected or a CPU
mask changes.

v3: Removed task based PLZA implementation so related changes are removed.
Removed handling of rmid_en as it is not required. The group type assigned
will be different so the monitoring part is already taken care.
Updated the change log with details.
Removed resctrl_arch_set_kmode() as arch only provides the modes supported.
It is FS which decided which mode to apply.
v2: Updated the commit message to include the sequence of steps to enable PLZA.
Added mode code comments for clarity.
Added kmode to functin names to be generic.

Resctrl subsystem tracks which kernel-mode CLOSID/RMID policies the
platform can offer via struct resctrl_kmode_cfg and
resctrl_arch_get_kmode_support(). AMD PLZA (Privilege Level Zero
Association) is the x86 feature that allows kernel traffic to use an
assigned CLOSID alone or CLOSID and RMID together.
Report the available kernel-modes when x86 PLZA is enabled.

kernel_mode feature needs to add the interface that lets user space
choose between INHERIT_CTRL_AND_MON, GLOBAL_ASSIGN_CTRL_INHERIT_MON_PER_CPU
and GLOBAL_ASSIGN_CTRL_ASSIGN_MON_PER_CPU. Both the generic resctrl
code and the architecture layer need a single shared snapshot of the
supported and effective policy plus the resource group that backs the
global-assign modes; that snapshot is struct resctrl_kmode_cfg.
Add the file-local resctrl_kcfg and a helper resctrl_kmode_init() that:
- Adds kmode and kmode_cur with BIT(INHERIT_CTRL_AND_MON), the
universally supported mode and today's behaviour;
- points k_rdtgrp at rdtgroup_default so global-assign modes have a
valid backing group from boot;
- calls resctrl_arch_get_kmode_support() so each architecture ORs
BIT(<mode>) into kmode for the policies its hardware supports
(on x86, AMD PLZA contributes the two global-assign modes).
resctrl_kmode_init() runs from resctrl_init() once the default group
has been set up. No user-visible behaviour changes yet; later patches
expose kmode_cur via sysfs and act on changes.

v3: Moved all the changes to resctrl FS.
Updated changelog.
Arch code only provides supported modes and FS decides which mode to
be supported.
v2: New patch to handle PLZA interfaces with /sys/fs/resctrl/info/ directory.

There is no user-visible way today to see which kernel-mode CLOSID/RMID
policies the running kernel supports, which one is active, or which
resctrl group currently owns the kernel CLOSID/RMID.
Add a read-only top-level sysfs file, info/kernel_mode. It emits one
line per mode advertised in resctrl_kcfg.kmode, in stable lowercase
spelling derived from enum resctrl_kernel_modes, e.g.:
[inherit_ctrl_and_mon:group=//]
global_assign_ctrl_inherit_mon_per_cpu:group=none
global_assign_ctrl_assign_mon_per_cpu:group=none
The effective policy (resctrl_kcfg.kmode_cur) is wrapped in square
brackets and its :group= suffix names the resctrl group currently
bound to the kernel CLOSID/RMID (resctrl_kcfg.k_rdtgrp), formatted as
<ctrl>/<mon>/ with empty components left blank. Inactive modes are
reported as :group=none.
rdtgroup_mutex is held while printing, matching other info/ show paths.

v3: New patch to handle the changed interface file info/kernel_mode.
Changed the group name to "none" if kmode binding is not done.
Reinette suggested "uninitialized". "none" seemed more relevent.

info/kernel_mode lists the kernel-mode CLOSID/RMID policies the kernel
supports and the one currently active, but user space has no way to
switch policies or rebind to a different rdtgroup, and the file does
not name the group that owns the kernel CLOSID/RMID.
Make info/kernel_mode writable. The format used by both read and
write is one line per mode:
inherit_ctrl_and_mon:group=none
[global_assign_ctrl_inherit_mon_per_cpu:group=g1//]
global_assign_ctrl_assign_mon_per_cpu:group=none
The active mode is wrapped in "[...]" and ":group=<ctrl>/<mon>/" names
the bound rdtgroup ("//" for the default control group). Inactive
modes report ":group=none". Documented in
Documentation/filesystems/resctrl.rst.
The write path strims input, strips the optional "[...]", validates
the mode against resctrl_kcfg.kmode, and resolves the optional
":group=" suffix via the new helper rdtgroup_by_kmode_path(). An
omitted suffix or an INHERIT-mode write binds to the default group.
On success, rdtgroup_config_kmode_clear() tears down the previous
binding and rdtgroup_config_kmode() programs the new one before
resctrl_kcfg.k_rdtgrp and resctrl_kcfg.kmode_cur are updated under
rdtgroup_mutex. Allocation failures in the helpers are propagated so
the write fails atomically.
Add struct rdtgroup fields kmode and kmode_cpu_mask to track the
per-group binding.

resctrl_kcfg.k_rdtgrp records which rdtgroup currently owns the kernel
CLOSID/RMID, but nothing cleared that snapshot when the group was
removed. rmdir of a control or monitor group, or unmount of the
resctrl filesystem, left kernel mode enabled on the CPUs the group
covered and left k_rdtgrp pointing at freed memory; the next read or write of
info/kernel_mode would dereference a stale rdtgroup under rdtgroup_mutex.
Add rdtgroup_config_kmode_delete() as the disable counterpart of
rdtgroup_config_kmode(). It clears the kernel-mode binding on the
group's kmode_cpu_mask (or all online CPUs when that mask is empty),
drops the per-group kmode/kmode_cpu_mask bookkeeping, and if
@rdtgrp was the bound, resets resctrl_kcfg to &rdtgroup_default,
BIT(INHERIT_CTRL_AND_MON)) so subsequent sysfs operations resolve
to a live group.
Call it from rdtgroup_rmdir_mon(), rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl(), and
resctrl_fs_teardown(); each call site is gated on rdtgrp->kmode so
groups that never participated in kernel mode pay nothing.

rdtgrp->kmode_cpu_mask selects which CPUs of a group have the
kernel-mode binding programmed, but the mask is not visible from the
resctrl filesystem; user space has no way to verify the result of a
write to info/kernel_mode without reading kernel memory.
Add two read-only files alongside cpus / cpus_list in every rdtgroup:
kmode_cpus - bitmap form of rdtgrp->kmode_cpu_mask
kmode_cpus_list - range-list form of the same mask
The handler returns -ENOENT for a deleted group and -ENODEV for a
pseudo-locked group, mirroring rdtgroup_cpus_show(). An empty mask
reads back as a bare newline, matching the "all online CPUs" semantics
rdtgroup_config_kmode() applies to an empty kmode_cpu_mask.

The kmode_cpus and kmode_cpus_list files control the CPU scope of the
kernel-mode binding owned by resctrl_kcfg.k_rdtgrp. On any other
group they appeared as stub files, and writing to them reprogrammed
hardware as if the binding were active -- corrupting the real binding.
Hide both files via kernfs_show() on every rdtgroup that does not
currently own the binding. The kernel-mode lifecycle hooks toggle
visibility: hidden at mount on rdtgroup_default, hidden at mkdir for
new groups, shown by rdtgroup_config_kmode() on the group it binds,
and hidden again by rdtgroup_config_kmode_clear() (and through it,
rdtgroup_config_kmode_delete()) when the binding is released.

The kmode_cpus and kmode_cpus_list files are read-only, so adjusting
the per-group CPU scope after a bind requires a full unbind/rebind via
info/kernel_mode -- reprogramming hardware on every online CPU even
for a single-CPU change.
Make both files writable (mode 0644). The handler validates the input
(rejecting pseudo-locked groups and offline CPUs), computes the delta
between rdtgrp->kmode_cpu_mask and the new mask, and reprograms
hardware incrementally: only the CPUs whose enable state changes hit
resctrl_arch_configure_kmode(). The new mask is then stored in
rdtgrp->kmode_cpu_mask so the next rdtgroup_config_kmode() at re-bind
sees it.
Documentation/filesystems/resctrl.rst is updated alongside.
