Subject: [PATCH 00/32] Enable Intel Resource Allocation in Resource Director Technology 

From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@...el.com>

L3 cache allocation allows per task control over which areas of the last
level cache are available for allocation. It is the first resource that
can be controlled as part of Intel Resource Director Technology (RDT).
This patch series creates a framework that will make it easy to add
additional resources (like L2 cache).

See Intel Software Developer manual volume 3, chapter 17 for architectural
details. Also Documentation/x86/intel_rdt.txt and
Documentation/x86/intel_rdt_ui.txt (in parts 0001 & 0013 of this patch
series).

A previous implementation used "cgroups" as the user interface. This was
rejected.

The new interface:
1) Aligns better with the h/w capabilities provided
2) Gives finer control (per thread instead of process)
3) Gives control over kernel threads as well as user threads
4) Allows resource allocation policies to be tied to certain cpus across
all contexts (tglx request)

Note that parts 1-12 are largely unchanged from what was posted last year
except for the removal of cgroup pieces and dynamic CAT/CDP switch.
