x86/resctrl: Discover hardware telemetry events

Each CPU collects data for telemetry events that it sends to the nearest
telemetry event aggregator either when the value of MSR_IA32_PQR_ASSOC.RMID
changes, or when a two millisecond timer expires.

There is a feature type ("energy" or "perf"), GUID, and MMIO region associated
with each aggregator. This combination links to an XML description of the
set of telemetry events tracked by the aggregator. XML files are published
by Intel in a GitHub repository¹.

The telemetry event aggregators maintain per-RMID per-event counts of the
total seen for all the CPUs. There may be multiple telemetry event aggregators
per package.

There are separate sets of aggregators for each feature type. Aggregators
in a set may have different GUIDs. All aggregators with the same feature
type and GUID are symmetric keeping counts for the same set of events for
the CPUs that provide data to them.

The XML file for each aggregator provides the following information:
0) Feature type of the events ("perf" or "energy")
1) Which telemetry events are tracked by the aggregator.
2) The order in which the event counters appear for each RMID.
3) The value type of each event counter (integer or fixed-point).
4) The number of RMIDs supported.
5) Which additional aggregator status registers are included.
6) The total size of the MMIO region for an aggregator.

Introduce struct event_group that condenses the relevant information from
an XML file. Hereafter an "event group" refers to a group of events of a
particular feature type (event_group::pfname set to "energy" or "perf") with
a particular GUID.

Use event_group::pfname to determine the feature id needed to obtain the
aggregator details. It will later be used in console messages and with the
rdt= boot parameter.

The INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY driver enumerates support for telemetry events.
This driver provides intel_pmt_get_regions_by_feature() to list all available
telemetry event aggregators of a given feature type. The list includes the
"guid", the base address in MMIO space for the region where the event counters
are exposed, and the package id where the all the CPUs that report to this
aggregator are located.

Call INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY's intel_pmt_get_regions_by_feature() for each event
group to obtain a private copy of that event group's aggregator data. Duplicate
the aggregator data between event groups that have the same feature type
but different GUID. Further processing on this private copy will be unique
to the event group.

x86,fs/resctrl: Move the resctrl filesystem code to live in /fs/resctrl

Resctrl is a filesystem interface to hardware that provides cache
allocation policy and bandwidth control for groups of tasks or CPUs.

To support more than one architecture, resctrl needs to live in /fs/.

Move the code that is concerned with the filesystem interface to
/fs/resctrl.

x86/resctrl: Split trace.h

trace.h contains all the tracepoints. After the move to /fs/resctrl, some
of these will be left behind. All the pseudo_lock tracepoints remain part
of the architecture. The lone tracepoint in monitor.c moves to /fs/resctrl.

Split trace.h so that each C file includes a different trace header file.
This means the trace header files are not modified when they are moved.

x86/resctrl: Allow an architecture to disable pseudo lock

Pseudo-lock relies on knowledge of the micro-architecture to disable
prefetchers etc.

On arm64 these controls are typically secure only, meaning Linux can't access
them. Arm's cache-lockdown feature works in a very different way. Resctrl's
pseudo-lock isn't going to be used on arm64 platforms.

Add a Kconfig symbol that can be selected by the architecture. This enables or
disables building of the pseudo_lock.c file, and replaces the functions with
stubs. An additional IS_ENABLED() check is needed in rdtgroup_mode_write() so
that attempting to enable pseudo-lock reports an "Unknown or unsupported mode"
to user-space via the last_cmd_status file.

x86/resctrl: Avoid confusion over the new X86_RESCTRL config

"Resource Control" is a very broad term for this CPU feature, and a term
that is also associated with containers, cgroups etc. This can easily
cause confusion.

Make the user prompt more specific. Match the config symbol name.

[ bp: In the future, the corresponding ARM arch-specific code will be
under ARM_CPU_RESCTRL and the arch-agnostic bits will be carved out
under the CPU_RESCTRL umbrella symbol. ]

x86/resctrl: Rename and move rdt files to a separate directory

New generation of AMD processors add support for RDT (or QOS) features.
Together, these features will be called RESCTRL. With more than one
vendors supporting these features, it seems more appropriate to rename
these files.

Create a new directory with the name 'resctrl' and move all the
intel_rdt files to the new directory. This way all the resctrl related
code resides inside one directory.
