The MBA Software Controller(mba_sc) is a feedback loop that uses
measurements of local memory bandwidth to adjust MBA throttling levels to
keep workloads in a resctrl group within a target bandwidth set in the
schemata file.
But on Intel systems the memory bandwidth monitoring events are
independently enumerated. It is possible for a system to support
total memory bandwidth monitoring, but not support local bandwidth
monitoring. On such a system a user could not enable mba_sc mode.
Users will see this highly unhelpful error message from mount:
# mount -t resctrl -o mba_MBps resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
mount: /sys/fs/resctrl: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
resctrl, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
dmesg(1) does not provide any additional information.
Add a new mount option "mba_MBps_event=[local|total]" that allows
a user to specify which monitoring event to use. Also modify the
existing "mba_MBps" option to switch to total bandwidth monitoring
if local monitoring is not available.
Update the once-per-second polling code to use the chosen event (local
or total memory bandwidth).
