Subject: [PATCH 00/33] arm_mpam: Add basic mpam driver

Hi all,

This version of the series comes to you from me as James is otherwise
engaged. I hope I have done his work justice. I've made quite a few
changes, rework, bugs, typos, all the usual. In order to aid review,
as Jonathan suggested, I've split out some patches and made an effort
to minimise the amount of churn between patches.

It would be great to get this taken up quickly. There are lots more
patches to come before we have a working MPAM story and this driver is
hidden behind the expert config. All reviews, comments, testing
welcomed and thank you for all the feedback so far.

See below for a public branch. No public updated version of the
snapshot (the rest of the driver) I'm afraid.

Changelogs in the patches.

Previous cover letter from James:

This is just enough MPAM driver for ACPI. DT got ripped out. If you need DT
support - please share your DTS so the DT folk know the binding is what is
needed.
This doesn't contain any of the resctrl code, meaning you can't actually drive it
from user-space yet. Because of that, its hidden behind CONFIG_EXPERT.
This will change once the user interface is connected up.

This is the initial group of patches that allows the resctrl code to be built
on top. Including that will increase the number of trees that may need to
coordinate, so breaking it up make sense.

The locking got simplified, but is still strange - this is because of the 'mpam-fb'
firmware interface specification that is still alpha. That thing needs to wait for
an interrupt after every system register write, which significantly impacts the
driver. Some features just won't work, e.g. reading the monitor registers via
perf.

I've not found a platform that can test all the behaviours around the monitors,
so this is where I'd expect the most bugs.

The MPAM spec that describes all the system and MMIO registers can be found here:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0598/db/?lang=en
(Ignored the 'RETIRED' warning - that is just arm moving the documentation around.
 This document has the best overview)

The expectation is this will go via the arm64 tree.

This series is based on v6.18-rc4, and can be retrieved from:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/morse/linux.git mpam/driver/v4

The rest of the driver can be found here: (no updated version - based on v3)
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/morse/linux.git mpam/snapshot/v6.18-rc1
