Add some improvements to the existing RDT(Resource director technology)
framework and fixes.

Patches are based on 4.11-rc4

Thanks to Thomas for all the feedback and below are changes in V3:

- Reformatted change log to make it more readable and follow
  the format context, problem, solution format.
- Made a lot of coding convention changes and to make it more
  readable.
- Removed hotcpu change as it was cqm specific and to be sent later.
- Including Tony's patch which removes the restriction of ordering the
  resources and to specify data for all domains while editing schemata.
  This includes the changes in previous version patches 1/5 and 3/5 -

Each resctrl directory has one CLOSid allocated which is mapped to a
control register/QOS_MSR. During an rmdir this CLOSid is freed and can
be reused later when a new directory is created.  Currently we do not
reset the QOS_MSR to a default when the CLOSid is freed. So when the
next mkdir uses a freed CLOSid, the new directory is associated with a
stale QOS_MSR.

Fix this issue by writing a default value to the QOS_MSR when the
associated CLOSid is freed. The default value is all 1s for CBM which
means no control is enforced when a mkdir reuses this CLOSid.

From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

The schemata file can have multiple lines and it is cumbersome to
update all lines.

Remove code that requires that the user provide values for every
resource (in the right order).  If the user provides values for
just a few resources, update them and leave the rest unchanged.

Side benefit: we now check which values were updated and only send
IPIs to cpus that actually have updates.

The schemata file would display data from different resources on all
domains. Its cumbersome to read since they are not tabular and
data/names could be of different widths.  Make the schemata file to
display data in a tabular format thereby making it nice and simple to
read.

This subject line is useless again. It want's to be descriptive.

"Fix issue" Which issue?

That's not an issue. That's maybe something people are not expecting.

That's just wrong.

The proper behaviour for a new control group is, that at the time when it
is created it copies the CBM values of the default group and not claiming
access to ALL of the cache by default.

x86/intel_rdt: Implement "update" mode when writing schemata file

The schemata file can have multiple lines and it is cumbersome to update
all lines.

Remove code that requires that the user provides values for every resource
(in the right order).  If the user provides values for just a few
resources, update them and leave the rest unchanged.

Side benefit: we now check which values were updated and only send IPIs to
cpus that actually have updates.

x86/intel_rdt: Update schemata read to show data in tabular format

The schemata file displays data from different resources on all
domains. Its cumbersome to read since they are not tabular and data/names
could be of different widths.  Make the schemata file to display data in a
tabular format thereby making it nice and simple to read.

The behaviour of the default/root group is having access to all cache. Because 
we set the value of all CBMs to all 1s and then root group takes CLOS 0. This is 
trying to set the same values for all newly created groups.

I don't see that as any more helpful. When you make a new
control group it is because none of the existing groups
provides the QoS that you want.  So the first thing the
user will do is write the schemata file with the values
they do want.

So "all access", or "same as default group" are both the
same to the user ... not what they want.

We do need to make sure that the schemata matches what is
in the registers. We need to make sure that changes to the
schemata file result in the MSRs being written where needed.

FYI. This behavior and a fix patch were discussed before:

Thanks.

That's true today. The MSRs and the schemata file of a newly created group
always match. So there's nothing to fix, right?

Yes. Upstream patch has the MSRs matching with what schemata shows. we can drop 
this patch. I sent a new MBA version without this just on the tip which has the 
other two patches.
