[PATCH v9 11/12] x86/resctrl: Introduce erdt_cpu_has() and erdt_support()
From: Chen Yu
Date: Tue Oct 13 2026 - 23:13:16 EST
Introduce erdt_cpu_has() to verify if a specific RDT feature is backed by an
ERDT table. A feature is only reported as ERDT backed when the CPU enumerates
it via CPUID and firmware describes it in the ERDT table (and its sub-tables).
erdt_cpu_has() also considers userspace input like "rdt=!cmt". Similar to
rdt_cpu_has(), erdt_cpu_has() expects an x86 feature flag as parameter.
Introduce erdt_support() as a helper called by erdt_cpu_has() to check whether
the ERDT firmware supports a given feature.
erdt_support() deliberately claims no feature yet and returns false. Features
should be added to erdt_support() as their MMIO implementations are introduced.

Changes since v8:
- Factor the "rdt=" option handling out of rdt_cpu_has() into
apply_rdt_options() and build both rdt_cpu_has() and erdt_cpu_has() on
top of it instead of duplicating the loop. (Reinette Chatre)
- CPUID stays the architectural enumeration mechanism, so erdt_cpu_has()
now requires boot_cpu_has(flag) in addition to ERDT firmware support.
(Reinette Chatre)
- Do not add the erdt_cpu_has()/erdt_get_scale() prototypes to
asm/resctrl.h, they live in the resctrl internal header now that
resctrl_arch_round_mon_val() is out of line. (Reinette Chatre)
- Reword the changelog: use imperative mood instead of "is derived
from", and do not imply that rdt_cpu_has() considers ERDT.
