Until recently Intel CPUs didn't support using non-contiguous 1s in Cache Allocation Technology (CAT). Writing a bitmask with non-contiguous 1s to the resctrl schemata file would fail. Intel CPUs that support non-contiguous 1s can be identified through a CPUID leaf mentioned in the "Intel® Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference" document available at: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/intel-sdm.html Add kernel support for detecting if non-contiguous 1s in Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) are supported by the hardware. Also add a new resctrl FS file to output this information to the userspace. Keep the hardcoded value for Haswell CPUs only since they do not have CPUID enumeration support for Cache allocation. Since the selftests/resctrl files are going through many rewrites and cleanups the appropriate selftest is still a work in progress. For basic selftesting capabilities use the bash script attached below this paragraph. It checks whether various bitmasks written into resctrl FS generate output consistent with reported feature support. #!/bin/bash # must be run as root, depends on a recent cpuid tool (20230406 or later) # variables RESCTRL_INFO="/sys/fs/resctrl/info" L3_NON_CONT_VAL="${RESCTRL_INFO}/L3/sparse_bitmaps" L2_NON_CONT_VAL="${RESCTRL_INFO}/L2/sparse_bitmaps" L3_NON_CONT_CBM="${RESCTRL_INFO}/L3/cbm_mask" L2_NON_CONT_CBM="${RESCTRL_INFO}/L2/cbm_mask" L3_CPUID_CMD="cpuid -1 -l 0x10 -s 0x01" L2_CPUID_CMD="cpuid -1 -l 0x10 -s 0x02" PASSED_TESTS=0 L3_SUPPORT=0 L2_SUPPORT=0 TESTS=0 run_test() { # L2 or L3 CACHE_LEVEL=$1 CACHE_LEVEL_SUPPORT="${CACHE_LEVEL}_SUPPORT" echo "Checking ${RESCTRL_INFO}/${CACHE_LEVEL}..." if [[ -d "${RESCTRL_INFO}/${CACHE_LEVEL}" ]]; then eval "${CACHE_LEVEL_SUPPORT}=1" echo "${CACHE_LEVEL} CAT Feature is supported" else echo "${CACHE_LEVEL} CAT Feature is not supported" fi if [[ ${!CACHE_LEVEL_SUPPORT} -eq 1 ]]; then echo " --- Running tests for ${CACHE_LEVEL} CAT ---" # read sysfs entries # are non-contiguous cbm supported?
