Add support to choose the memory monitor bandwidth event independently
for each ctrl_mon group when resctrl is mounted with the mba_MBps
option. Users may want this for applications that are not localized to
NUMA boundaries. Default behavior still uses local memory bandwidth
when that event is supported by the platform.
Side benefit[0]: Systems that do not support the local bandwidth monitor
event but do support the total bandwidth event can now use the mba_MBps
mount option.
Changes since v7[1]:
--------------------
Almost a complete rewrite based on the new user ABI of a file
in each ctrl_mon group to select the event instead of a mount
option that applies to all groups.
Some of the code from the v7 patch0001 was salvaged and is now
split between patches 0002/0003 in this series. Patch 0002
addresses comments from Reinette[2] with additional sanity
checks, use of WARN_ON_ONCE() and early return from functions
where these checks fail.
I moved the refactor of mbm_update() to a separate patch to
make it easier to review the changes to compute bandwidth for
all memory bandwidth events.
