[PATCH 5/6] x86/intel_rdt/mba_sc: Prepare for feedback loop

2018-04-20 Thread Vikas Shivappa
This is a preparatory patch for the mba feedback loop. We add support to measure the "bandwidth in MBps" and the "delta bandwidth". We measure it reading the MBM IA32_QM_CTR MSRs and calculating the amount of "bytes" moved. There is no user interface for this and will only be used by the feedback
