Resctrl provides a user-configurable option mbm_assign_on_mkdir that
determines if a counter will automatically be assigned to an RMID, event pair
when its associated monitor group is created via mkdir.
Enable mbm_assign_on_mkdir by default to automatically assign counters to
the two default events (MBM total and MBM local) of a new monitoring group
created via mkdir. This maintains backward compatibility with original
resctrl support for these two events.
Unassign and free counters belonging to a monitoring group when the group
is deleted.
Monitor group creation does not fail if a counter cannot be assigned to one or
both events. There may be limited counters and users have the flexibility to
modify counter assignments at a later time. Log the error message "Failed to
allocate counter for <event> in domain <id>" in
/sys/fs/resctrl/info/last_cmd_status when a new monitoring group is created
but counter assignment failed.
