+Cache Pseudo-Locking
+--------------------
+CAT enables a user to specify the amount of cache space that an
+application can fill. Cache pseudo-locking builds on the fact that a
+CPU can still read and write data pre-allocated outside its current
+allocated area on a cache hit. With cache pseudo-locking, data can be
+preloaded into a reserved portion of cache that no application can
+fill, and from that point on will only serve cache hits. The cache
+pseudo-locked memory is made accessible to user space where an
+application can map it into its virtual address space and thus have
+a region of memory with reduced average read latency.
+
+The creation of a cache pseudo-locked region is triggered by a request
+from the user to do so that is accompanied by a schemata of the region
+to be pseudo-locked. The cache pseudo-locked region is created as follows:
+- Create a CAT allocation CLOSNEW with a CBM matching the schemata
+ from the user of the cache region that will contain the pseudo-locked
+ memory. This region must not overlap with any current CAT allocation/CLOS
+ on the system and no future overlap with this cache region is allowed
+ while the pseudo-locked region exists.
+- Create a contiguous region of memory of the same size as the cache
+ region.
+- Flush the cache, disable hardware prefetchers, disable preemption.
+- Make CLOSNEW the active CLOS and touch the allocated memory to load
+ it into the cache.
+- Set the previous CLOS as active.
+- At this point the closid CLOSNEW can be released - the cache
+ pseudo-locked region is protected as long as its CBM does not appear in
+ any CAT allocation. Even though the cache pseudo-locked region will from
+ this point on not appear in any CBM of any CLOS an application running with
+ any CLOS will be able to access the memory in the pseudo-locked region since
+ the region continues to serve cache hits.
+- The contiguous region of memory loaded into the cache is exposed to
+ user-space as a character device.
+
+Cache pseudo-locking increases the probability that data will remain
+in the cache via carefully configuring the CAT feature and controlling
+application behavior. There is no guarantee that data is placed in
+cache. Instructions like INVD, WBINVD, CLFLUSH, etc. can still evict
+“locked” data from cache. Power management C-states may shrink or
+power off cache. Deeper C-states will automatically be restricted on
+pseudo-locked region creation.
+
+It is required that an application using a pseudo-locked region runs
+with affinity to the cores (or a subset of the cores) associated
+with the cache on which the pseudo-locked region resides. A sanity check
+within the code will not allow an application to map pseudo-locked memory
+unless it runs with affinity to cores associated with the cache on which the
+pseudo-locked region resides. The sanity check is only done during the
+initial mmap() handling, there is no enforcement afterwards and the
+application self needs to ensure it remains affine to the correct cores.
+
+Pseudo-locking is accomplished in two stages:
+1) During the first stage the system administrator allocates a portion
+ of cache that should be dedicated to pseudo-locking. At this time an
+ equivalent portion of memory is allocated, loaded into allocated
+ cache portion, and exposed as a character device.
+2) During the second stage a user-space application maps (mmap()) the
+ pseudo-locked memory into its address space.
+
+Cache Pseudo-Locking Interface
+------------------------------
+A pseudo-locked region is created using the resctrl interface as follows:
+
+1) Create a new resource group by creating a new directory in /sys/fs/resctrl.
+2) Change the new resource group's mode to "pseudo-locksetup" by writing
+ "pseudo-locksetup" to the "mode" file.
+3) Write the schemata of the pseudo-locked region to the "schemata" file. All
+ bits within the schemata should be "unused" according to the "bit_usage"
+ file.
+
+On successful pseudo-locked region creation the "mode" file will contain
+"pseudo-locked" and a new character device with the same name as the resource
+group will exist in /dev/pseudo_lock. This character device can be mmap()'ed
+by user space in order to obtain access to the pseudo-locked memory region.
+
+An example of cache pseudo-locked region creation and usage can be found below.
+
+Cache Pseudo-Locking Debugging Interface
+---------------------------------------
+The pseudo-locking debugging interface is enabled by default (if
+CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled) and can be found in /sys/kernel/debug/resctrl.
+
+There is no explicit way for the kernel to test if a provided memory
+location is present in the cache. The pseudo-locking debugging interface uses
+the tracing infrastructure to provide two ways to measure cache residency of
+the pseudo-locked region:
+1) Memory access latency using the pseudo_lock_mem_latency tracepoint. Data
+ from these measurements are best visualized using a hist trigger (see
+ example below). In this test the pseudo-locked region is traversed at
+ a stride of 32 bytes while hardware prefetchers and preemption
+ are disabled. This also provides a substitute visualization of cache
+ hits and misses.
+2) Cache hit and miss measurements using model specific precision counters if
+ available. Depending on the levels of cache on the system the pseudo_lock_l2
+ and pseudo_lock_l3 tracepoints are available.
+ WARNING: triggering this measurement uses from two (for just L2
+ measurements) to four (for L2 and L3 measurements) precision counters on
+ the system, if any other measurements are in progress the counters and
+ their corresponding event registers will be clobbered.
+
+When a pseudo-locked region is created a new debugfs directory is created for
+it in debugfs as /sys/kernel/debug/resctrl/<newdir>. A single
+write-only file, pseudo_lock_measure, is present in this directory. The
+measurement on the pseudo-locked region depends on the number, 1 or 2,
+written to this debugfs file. Since the measurements are recorded with the
+tracing infrastructure the relevant tracepoints need to be enabled before the
+measurement is triggered.
+
+Example of latency debugging interface:
+In this example a pseudo-locked region named "newlock" was created. Here is
+how we can measure the latency in cycles of reading from this region and
+visualize this data with a histogram that is available if CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS
+is set:

+Example 4
+---------
+
+The resource groups in previous examples were all in the default "shareable"
+mode allowing sharing of their cache allocations. If one resource group
+configures a cache allocation then nothing prevents another resource group
+to overlap with that allocation.
+
+In this example a new exclusive resource group will be created on a L2 CAT
+system with two L2 cache instances that can be configured with an 8-bit
+capacity bitmask. The new exclusive resource group will be configured to use
+25% of each cache instance.
+
+# mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl/
+# cd /sys/fs/resctrl
+
+First, we observe that the default group is configured to allocate to all L2
+cache:
+
+# cat schemata
+L2:0=ff;1=ff
+
+We could attempt to create the new resource group at this point, but it will
+fail because of the overlap with the schemata of the default group:
+# mkdir p0
+# echo 'L2:0=0x3;1=0x3' > p0/schemata
+# cat p0/mode
+shareable
+# echo exclusive > p0/mode
+-sh: echo: write error: Invalid argument
+# cat info/last_cmd_status
+schemata overlaps
+
+To ensure that there is no overlap with another resource group the default
+resource group's schemata has to change, making it possible for the new
+resource group to become exclusive.
+# echo 'L2:0=0xfc;1=0xfc' > schemata
+# echo exclusive > p0/mode
+# grep . p0/*
+p0/cpus:0
+p0/mode:exclusive
+p0/schemata:L2:0=03;1=03
+p0/size:L2:0=262144;1=262144
+
+A new resource group will on creation not overlap with an exclusive resource
+group:
+# mkdir p1
+# grep . p1/*
+p1/cpus:0
+p1/mode:shareable
+p1/schemata:L2:0=fc;1=fc
+p1/size:L2:0=786432;1=786432
+
+The bit_usage will reflect how the cache is used:
+# cat info/L2/bit_usage
+0=SSSSSSEE;1=SSSSSSEE
+
+A resource group cannot be forced to overlap with an exclusive resource group:
+# echo 'L2:0=0x1;1=0x1' > p1/schemata
+-sh: echo: write error: Invalid argument
+# cat info/last_cmd_status
+overlaps with exclusive group
+
+Example of Cache Pseudo-Locking
+-------------------------------
+Lock portion of L2 cache from cache id 1 using CBM 0x3. Pseudo-locked
+region is exposed at /dev/pseudo_lock/newlock that can be provided to
+application for argument to mmap().
+
+# mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl/
+# cd /sys/fs/resctrl
+
+Ensure that there are bits available that can be pseudo-locked, since only
+unused bits can be pseudo-locked the bits to be pseudo-locked needs to be
+removed from the default resource group's schemata:
+# cat info/L2/bit_usage
+0=SSSSSSSS;1=SSSSSSSS
+# echo 'L2:1=0xfc' > schemata
+# cat info/L2/bit_usage
+0=SSSSSSSS;1=SSSSSS00
+
+Create a new resource group that will be associated with the pseudo-locked
+region, indicate that it will be used for a pseudo-locked region, and
+configure the requested pseudo-locked region capacity bitmask:
+
+# mkdir newlock
+# echo pseudo-locksetup > newlock/mode
+# echo 'L2:1=0x3' > newlock/schemata
+
+On success the resource group's mode will change to pseudo-locked, the
+bit_usage will reflect the pseudo-locked region, and the character device
+exposing the pseudo-locked region will exist:
