Vikas Shivappa a9fcf8627d x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Add cpus file support
The cpus file is extended to support resource monitoring. This is used
to over-ride the RMID of the default group when running on specific
CPUs. It works similar to the resource control. The "cpus" and
"cpus_list" file is present in default group, ctrl_mon groups and
monitor groups.

Each "cpus" file or cpu_list file reads a cpumask or list showing which
CPUs belong to the resource group. By default all online cpus belong to
the default root group. A CPU can be present in one "ctrl_mon" and one
"monitor" group simultaneously. They can be added to a resource group by
writing the CPU to the file. When a CPU is added to a ctrl_mon group it
is automatically removed from the previous ctrl_mon group. A CPU can be
added to a monitor group only if it is present in the parent ctrl_mon
group and when a CPU is added to a monitor group, it is automatically
removed from the previous monitor group. When CPUs go offline, they are
automatically removed from the ctrl_mon and monitor groups.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
