resctrl is the defacto Linux ABI for SoC resource partitioning features. To support it on another architecture, it needs to be abstracted from the features provided by Intel RDT and AMD PQoS, and moved to /fs/. struct rdt_resource contains a mix of architecture private details and properties of the filesystem interface user-space uses. Start by splitting struct rdt_resource, into an architecture private 'hw' struct, which contains the common resctrl structure that would be used by any architecture. The foreach helpers are most commonly used by the filesystem code, and should return the common resctrl structure. for_each_rdt_resource() is changed to walk the common structure in its parent arch private structure. Move as much of the structure as possible into the common structure in the core code's header file. The x86 hardware accessors remain part of the architecture private code, as do num_closid, mon_scale and mbm_width. mon_scale and mbm_width are used to detect overflow of the hardware counters, and convert them from their native size to bytes. Any cross-architecture abstraction should be in terms of bytes, making these properties private. The hardware's num_closid is kept in the private structure to force the filesystem code to use a helper to access it. MPAM would return a single value for the system, regardless of the resource. Using the helper prevents this field from being confused with the version of num_closid that is being exposed to user-space (added in a later patch). After this split, filesystem code touching a 'hw' struct indicates where an abstraction is needed. Splitting this structure only moves types around, and should not lead to any change in behaviour.

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 Restructured Text 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.
