Intel is blessed with an abundance of monitors, one per RMID, that can be read from any CPU in the domain. MPAMs monitors reside in the MMIO MSC, the number implemented is up to the manufacturer. This means when there are fewer monitors than needed, they need to be allocated and freed. MPAM's CSU monitors are used to back the 'llc_occupancy' monitor file. The CSU counter is allowed to return 'not ready' for a small number of micro-seconds after programming. To allow one CSU hardware monitor to be used for multiple control or monitor groups, the CPU accessing the monitor needs to be able to block when configuring and reading the counter. Worse, the domain may be broken up into slices, and the MMIO accesses for each slice may need performing from different CPUs. These two details mean MPAMs monitor code needs to be able to sleep, and IPI another CPU in the domain to read from a resource that has been sliced. mon_event_read() already invokes mon_event_count() via IPI, which means this isn't possible. On systems using nohz-full, some CPUs need to be interrupted to run kernel work as they otherwise stay in user-space running realtime workloads. Interrupting these CPUs should be avoided, and scheduling work on them may never complete. Change mon_event_read() to pick a housekeeping CPU, (one that is not using nohz_full) and schedule mon_event_count() and wait. If all the CPUs in a domain are using nohz-full, then an IPI is used as the fallback. This function is only used in response to a user-space filesystem request (not the timing sensitive overflow code). This allows MPAM to hide the slice behaviour from resctrl, and to keep the monitor-allocation in monitor.c. When the IPI fallback is used on machines where MPAM needs to make an access on multiple CPUs, the counter read will always fail.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
