Subject: [PATCH v7 2/9] x86/resctrl: Require 64-bit x86 for resctrl support
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 13:57:33 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <185a82864956b6c029fc7fd9525f68dbae1d1fc1.1787976868.git.yu.c.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1787976868.git.yu.c.chen@intel.com>

All known hardware that supports Intel RDT or AMD QoS is 64-bit. MMIO-based
Enhanced RDT (ERDT) monitoring requires readq()/writeq(), which are only
available on 64-bit.

32-bit x86 is maintained for legacy reasons. New CPU features are generally not
enabled for 32-bit systems, its test coverage keeps shrinking, and modern 32-bit
distributions have become rare. Discouraging the use of a 32-bit kernel is
discussed at:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/c6ab0c24-8931-4f0d-9be6-23498ab4c38b@intel.com/

Drop 32-bit support by changing the X86_CPU_RESCTRL dependency from X86 to
X86_64.

Since X86_CPU_RESCTRL now implies X86_64, remove the redundant X86_64 dependency
from X86_CPU_RESCTRL_INTEL_AET.

    Replace the inaccurate "no realistic server use case" rationale with
    the legacy, shrinking test coverage and rare distro reasoning.
