Non-contiguous CBM support for Intel CAT has been merged into the kernel
with Commit 0e3cd31f6e90 ("x86/resctrl: Enable non-contiguous CBMs in
Intel CAT") but there is no selftest that would validate if this feature
works correctly. The selftest needs to verify if writing non-contiguous
CBMs to the schemata file behaves as expected in comparison to the
information about non-contiguous CBMs support.The patch series is based on a rework of resctrl selftests that's currently in review [1]. The patch also implements a similar functionality presented in the bash script included in the cover letter of the original non-contiguous CBMs in Intel CAT series [3]. Changelog v6: - Add Reinette's reviewed-by tag to patch 2/5. - Fix ret type in noncont test. - Add a check for bit_center value in noncont test. - Add resource pointer check in resctrl_mon_feature_exists. - Fix patch 4 leaking into patch 3 by mistake. Changelog v5: - Add a few reviewed-by tags. - Make some minor text changes in patch messages and comments. - Redo resctrl_mon_feature_exists() to be more generic and fix some of my errors in refactoring feature checking. Changelog v4: - Changes to error failure return values in non-contiguous test. - Some minor text refactoring without functional changes. Changelog v3: - Rebase onto v4 of Ilpo's series [1]. - Split old patch 3/4 into two parts. One doing refactoring and one adding a new function. - Some changes to all the patches after Reinette's review. Changelog v2: - Rebase onto v4 of Ilpo's series [2]. - Add two patches that prepare helpers for the new test. - Move Ilpo's patch that adds test grouping to this series. - Apply Ilpo's suggestion to the patch that adds a new test.
