Vikas Shivappa d6aaba615a x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Add tasks file support
The root directory, ctrl_mon and monitor groups are populated
with a read/write file named "tasks". When read, it shows all the task
IDs assigned to the resource group.

Tasks can be added to groups by writing the PID to the file. A task can
be present in one "ctrl_mon" group "and" one "monitor" group. IOW a
PID_x can be seen in a ctrl_mon group and a monitor group at the same
time. When a task is added to a ctrl_mon group, it is automatically
removed from the previous ctrl_mon group where it belonged. Similarly if
a task is moved to a monitor group it is removed from the previous
monitor group . Also since the monitor groups can only have subset of
tasks of parent ctrl_mon group, a task can be moved to a monitor group
only if its already present in the parent ctrl_mon group.

Task membership is indicated by a new field in the task_struct "u32
rmid" which holds the RMID for the task. RMID=0 is reserved for the
default root group where the tasks belong to at mount.

[tony: zero the rmid if rdtgroup was deleted when task was being moved]

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.
