[RFC PATCH v2 00/11] x86/resctrl: Support asymmetric L2 CAT on hybrid CPUs

[Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>]

Stil RFC as it builds on Reinette's multiple control patches[0].

Some hybrid CPUs (e.g. Panther Lake) have L2 caches whose cache
allocation capabilities differ between P-core and E-core domains.
Today these show up as symmetric L2 CAT, on just the P-core. New CPUID
leaves enumerate asymmetric allocation separately, including per-domain
capacity bitmask (CBM) lengths.

This series teaches resctrl to use that enumeration:

 - Define the four Intel RDT CPUID leaves, and add the asymmetric
   L2 CAT/CDP feature bits, CPUID dependencies and rdt= boot options
   (l2cat_asym, l2cdp_asym).
 - Disable symmetric L2 CAT on Panther Lake, where it is misreported.
 - Clean up rdt_get_cache_alloc_cfg() (failure handling, leaf argument)
   and the RDT allocation feature checks to prepare for a second leaf.
 - Move the CBM length from the shared control to each control domain
   (touches fs/resctrl, x86 and MPAM) since lengths can now differ.
 - Enumerate asymmetric L2 CAT/CDP from CPUID leaf 0x28 when no
   shareable bits are reported (resctrl cannot represent them per
   domain). info/L2/cbm_mask reports the minimum CBM across domains.
 - Change the "max" file to show per-domain values, matching the
   schemata format, so the UI needs no change for asymmetric controls.
 - Document the new options and the cbm_mask semantics.

Changes since first RFC[1]:

*) No new/renamed resource or control. Just keep this as "L2" for both.

*) Keep the info/L2/cbm_mask but make it display the minimum mask across
   all domains. Naive legacy s/w may use this and waste some cache.

*) Chen Yu pointed out that I don't need to search the resource for the
   control to update the domain. Drop the helper and just update the
   bitmask length in domain_add_cpu_ctrl()

*) Find per-domain cbm_len for L3 as well as L2 cache (though still only
   look for asymmetric L2

*) Intel L2 caches don't have any shareable bits. Check that the
   shareable mask is zero (as this series doesn't update file system
   code to handle asymmetric shareable bits).
