Subject: [RFC PATCH 00/38] arm_mpam: Add KVM/arm64 and resctrl glue code

This is the missing piece to make MPAM usable resctrl in user-space. This has
shed its debugfs code and the read/write 'event configuration' for the monitors
to make the series smaller.

This adds the arch code and KVM support first. I anticipate the whole thing
going via arm64, but if goes via tip instead, the an immutable branch with those
patches should be easy to do.

I've not CC'd all the relevant maintainers because its the merge window.
(...and yet there are folk chomping at the bit to see this posted...)


Generally the resctrl glue code works by picking what MPAM features it can expose
from the MPAM drive, then configuring the structs that back the resctrl helpers.
If your platform is sufficiently Xeon shaped, you should be able to get L2/L3 CPOR
bitmaps exposed via resctrl. CSU counters work if they are on/after the L3. MBWU
counters are considerably more hairy, and depend on hueristics around the topology,
and a bunch of stuff trying to emulate ABMC.
If it didn't pick what you wanted it to, please share the debug messages produced
when enabling dynamic debug and booting with:
| dyndbg="file mpam_resctrl.c +pl"

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)


This series is based on arm64/for-next/core, and can be retrieved from:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/morse/linux.git mpam/glue/rfc

There is no snapshot branch - this is it!
I'll push the extras branch once I've gotten a handle on the DT shaped mess in
there.
