Running resctrl_tests on an SNC-2 system with lockdep debugging enabled
triggers several warnings with following trace:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1914 at kernel/cpu.c:528 lockdep_assert_cpus_held
...
Call Trace:

get_cpu_cacheinfo_level() called from __mon_event_count() requires CPU hotplug
lock to be held. The hotplug lock is indeed held during this time, as
confirmed by the lockdep_assert_cpus_held() within mon_event_read() that calls
mon_event_count() via IPI, but the lockdep tracking is not able to follow the
IPI.
Fresh CPU cache information via get_cpu_cacheinfo_level() from
__mon_event_count() was added to support the fix for the issue where resctrl
inappropriately maintained links to L3 cache information that will be stale in
the case when the associated CPU goes offline.
Keep the cacheinfo ID in struct rdt_mon_domain to ensure that resctrl does not
maintain stale cache information while CPUs can go offline. Return to using
a pointer to the L3 cache information (struct cacheinfo) in struct rmid_read,
rmid_read::ci. Initialize rmid_read::ci before the IPI where it is used. CPU
hotplug lock is held across rmid_read::ci initialization and use to ensure
that it points to accurate cache information.

In the resctrl subsystem's Sub-NUMA Cluster (SNC) mode, the rdt_mon_domain
structure representing a NUMA node relies on the cacheinfo interface
(rdt_mon_domain::ci) to store L3 cache information (e.g., shared_cpu_map)
for monitoring. The L3 cache information of a SNC NUMA node determines
which domains are summed for the "top level" L3-scoped events.
rdt_mon_domain::ci is initialized using the first online CPU of a NUMA
node. When this CPU goes offline, its shared_cpu_map is cleared to contain
only the offline CPU itself. Subsequently, attempting to read counters
via smp_call_on_cpu(offline_cpu) fails (and error ignored), returning
zero values for "top-level events" without any error indication.
Replace the cacheinfo references in struct rdt_mon_domain and struct
rmid_read with the cacheinfo ID (a unique identifier for the L3 cache).
rdt_domain_hdr::cpu_mask contains the online CPUs associated with that
domain. When reading "top-level events", select a CPU from
rdt_domain_hdr::cpu_mask and utilize its L3 shared_cpu_map to determine
valid CPUs for reading RMID counter via the MSR interface.
Considering all CPUs associated with the L3 cache improves the chances
of picking a housekeeping CPU on which the counter reading work can be
queued, avoiding an unnecessary IPI.

Resctrl is a filesystem interface to hardware that provides cache
allocation policy and bandwidth control for groups of tasks or CPUs.
To support more than one architecture, resctrl needs to live in /fs/.
Move the code that is concerned with the filesystem interface to
/fs/resctrl.

Add Makefile and Kconfig for fs/resctrl. Add ARCH_HAS_CPU_RESCTRL
for the common parts of the resctrl interface and make X86_CPU_RESCTRL
select this.
Adding an include of asm/resctrl.h to linux/resctrl.h allows the
/fs/resctrl files to switch over to using this header instead.
