With more and more resctrl features are being added by Intel, AMD and ARM, a test tool is becoming more and more useful to validate that both hardware and software functionalities work as expected.
We introduce resctrl selftest to cover resctrl features on both X86 and ARM architectures. It first implements MBM (Memory Bandwidth Monitoring) and MBA (Memory Bandwidth Allocation) tests. We can enhance the selftest tool to include more functionality tests in future.
There is an existing resctrl test suite 'intel_cmt_cat'. But the major purpose of the tool is to test Intel(R) RDT hardware via writing and reading MSR registers. It does access resctrl file system; but the functionalities are very limited. And it doesn't support automatic test and a lot of manual verifications are involved.
So the selftest tool we are introducing here provides a convenient tool which does automatic resctrl testing, is easily available in kernel tree, and will be extended to AMD QoS and ARM MPAM.
The selftest tool is in tools/testing/selftests/resctrl in order to have generic test code for all architectures.
Changelog: v4: - address comments from Balu and Randy - Add CAT and CQM tests
v3: - Change code based on comments from Babu Moger - Remove some unnessary code and use pipe to communicate b/w processes
v2: - Change code based on comments from Babu Moger - Clean up other places.
