Reinette Chatre d2e1b84c51 fs/resctrl: Eliminate false positive lockdep warning when reading SNC counters
Running resctrl_tests on an SNC-2 system with lockdep debugging enabled
triggers several warnings with following trace:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1914 at kernel/cpu.c:528 lockdep_assert_cpus_held
  ...
  Call Trace:
  __mon_event_count
  ? __lock_acquire
  ? __pfx___mon_event_count
  mon_event_count
  ? __pfx_smp_mon_event_count
  smp_mon_event_count
  smp_call_on_cpu_callback

get_cpu_cacheinfo_level() called from __mon_event_count() requires CPU hotplug
lock to be held. The hotplug lock is indeed held during this time, as
confirmed by the lockdep_assert_cpus_held() within mon_event_read() that calls
mon_event_count() via IPI, but the lockdep tracking is not able to follow the
IPI.

Fresh CPU cache information via get_cpu_cacheinfo_level() from
__mon_event_count() was added to support the fix for the issue where resctrl
inappropriately maintained links to L3 cache information that will be stale in
the case when the associated CPU goes offline.

Keep the cacheinfo ID in struct rdt_mon_domain to ensure that resctrl does not
maintain stale cache information while CPUs can go offline. Return to using
a pointer to the L3 cache information (struct cacheinfo) in struct rmid_read,
rmid_read::ci. Initialize rmid_read::ci before the IPI where it is used. CPU
hotplug lock is held across rmid_read::ci initialization and use to ensure
that it points to accurate cache information.

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 reStructuredText 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.
