Subject: [PATCH v7 10/19] fs/resctrl: Add interface to display kernel mode status
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 16:44:03 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a130e02b0b892370dc429e21eea9af411acbb148.1794437052.git.babu.moger@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1794437052.git.babu.moger@amd.com>

Kernel mode support allows the CPU's CLOSID and/or RMID association to
change when transitioning from user mode to kernel mode.

Add info/kernel_mode to expose the supported and active kernel modes
through the resctrl filesystem. Supported modes are listed one per line,
with the active mode enclosed in square brackets.

Signed-off-by: Babu Moger <babu.moger@amd.com>
---
v7: Updated the changelog.
    kernel_mode prints the monitoring group only when mon == assign.

v6: Rewrote the changelog to make it as feature and not as a bug fix.
    Update the code to use the new name "global_enable_per_cpu".
    Display ctrl or mon only when allocation or monitoring is supportd.

v5: Use resctrl_kcfg.caps and resctrl_kcfg.active after the struct split
    from patch 0006. Rename resctrl_kmode_bind_str() to
    resctrl_kmode_state_str() and ctrl_bind/mon_bind to ctrl_state/mon_state.
    Used info_kn_lock()/info_kn_unlock().
    Add documentation update in resctrl.rst.

v4: Fixed the display of inherit_ctrl_and_mon policy. It is not
    associated with any group.
    Added "uninitialized" for the non-active group.
    Rewrote the changelog.

v3: New patch to handle the changed interface file info/kernel_mode.
    Changed the group name to "none" if kmode binding is not done.
    Reinette suggested "uninitialized". "none" seemed more relevent.

+"kernel_mode":
+	Lists the kernel modes supported by the system, one per line, with
+	the active mode enclosed in square brackets.
+
+	A task running on a CPU is associated with an allocation and
+	monitoring ID pair (ctrl_hw_id, mon_hw_id), which determines the
+	resource allocation and monitoring applied to that task. Kernel
+	modes allow the CPU's allocation and/or monitoring association to
+	change during the transition from user mode to kernel mode.
+
+	Possible kernel modes are:
+
+	"inherit_user":
+		Default mode at boot. Kernel work uses the allocation
+		and monitoring of the user task on whose behalf it runs.
+
+	"global_enable_per_cpu":
+		Kernel work uses the allocation and/or monitoring of a backing
+		CTRL_MON or MON group. The mode can be enabled or disabled
+		per-CPU. The line contains group= and whichever of ctrl= and
+		mon= the platform supports::
+
+		  global_enable_per_cpu:ctrl=<assign|inherit>;mon=<assign|inherit>;group=<CTRL_MON>/<MON>/
+
+		"ctrl":
+			"assign" if kernel work uses the resource group's
+			allocation, or "inherit" if it uses the user task's
+			allocation. Present only on systems that support allocation.
+
+		"mon":
+			"assign" if kernel work uses the resource group's monitoring,
+			or "inherit" if it uses the user task's monitoring. Present
+			only on systems that support monitoring.
+
+		"group":
+			Path of the backing resource group, relative to the resctrl
+			mount point.
+
+			A MON group is shown as "<CTRL_MON>/<MON>/".
+
+			A CTRL_MON group is shown as "<CTRL_MON>//" when "mon=assign".
+
+			When "mon=inherit", or monitoring is unsupported, a CTRL_MON group
+			is shown as "<CTRL_MON>/".
+
+		When the mode is not active, the output lists the supported parameters
+		and their default values, which are used if the mode is activated
+		without new values.
+
+	Example of a system that supports allocation and monitoring, with default mode
+	set to inherit_user::
+
+		# cat info/kernel_mode
+		[inherit_user]
+		global_enable_per_cpu:ctrl=assign;mon=assign;group=//
+
 Resource alloc and monitor groups
