[PATCH v12 18/25] x86/resctrl: Use registered function pointers for AET enumeration

From: Tony Luck

Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 19:16:27 EST


The INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY driver registers enumeration functions with
resctrl Application Energy Telemetry (AET) code.

Use the function pointers instead of direct function calls in
preparation for the telemetry driver to be a loadable module.

In preparation for enumeration on each mount of the resctrl file system
place a hold on the pmt_telemetry module while enumerating AET events during
pre-mount processing. Release the hold if no events were enabled. This hold
will be released when the per-mount code is added.
