Hardware provides a set of counters when the ABMC feature is supported.
These counters are used for enabling the events in resctrl group when
the feature is supported.
Introduce num_cntrs_free_map bitmap to track available and free counters.

resctrl_abmc_set_all() was initially created as a complement of
resctrl_abmc_set_one() ... but with more initialization added to
resctrl_abmc_set_all() this relationship becomes vague.

This comment puts in words what can be understood by just looking at the code.
What would be useful would be to explain _why_ this needs to be done ...
what happens to the previously assigned counters?

It came from patch 4/19.
struct resctrl_mon {
int num_rmid;
+ int num_cntrs;
struct list_head evt_list;
};
num_cntrs_free_map is a bitmap representing num_cntrs. Kept the matching
name for better understanding. Renaming it will loose that connection.
If I rename then I will have to rename both.
How about mbm_cntrs and mbm_cntrs_free_map?

Only reason is, it is supposed to be unsigned. I can change it "unsigned
int".

Yes. Understood. Let me know if want me to change anything here.

I disagree. The "num" in "num_cntrs" indicates that this variable stores
the _number_ of a particular entity. In this case "cntrs" or ... counters.
This is just like how resctrl uses "num_closid" to indicate how many closid
are available and then have a separate "closid_free_map" to actually track
now closids are used ... it is _not_ "num_closid_free_map". Similarly,
"num_rmid" indicates how many RMID are available and the "rmid_free_lru"
tracks how RMID are used ... it is _not_ "num_rmid_free_lru".

No, you do not.

"mbm_cntrs" does sound good. It is more specific than "cntrs". I would suggest that
use "num_mbm_cntrs" to match with "num_rmid" and "num_closid" and then
you can introduce "mbm_cntrs_free_map".

How about renaming resctrl_abmc_set_all() to _resctrl_abmc_enable()?
