bw_report is only needed for selecting the correct value from the values IMC measured. It is a member in the resctrl_val_param struct and is always set to "reads". The value is then checked in resctrl_val() using validate_bw_report_request() that besides validating the input, assumes it can mutate the string which is questionable programming practice. Simplify handling bw_report: - Convert validate_bw_report_request() into get_bw_report_type() that inputs and returns const char *. Use NULL to indicate error. - Validate the report types inside measure_mem_bw(), not in resctrl_val(). - Pass bw_report to measure_mem_bw() from ->measure() hook because resctrl_val() no longer needs bw_report for anything.

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.
