James Morse f07e9d0250 x86/resctrl: Add a helper to read a closid's configuration
Functions like show_doms() reach into the architecture's private
structure to retrieve the configuration from the struct rdt_hw_resource.

The hardware configuration may look completely different to the
values resctrl gets from user-space. The staged configuration and
resctrl_arch_update_domains() allow the architecture to convert or
translate these values.

Resctrl shouldn't read or write the ctrl_val[] values directly. Add
a helper to read the current configuration. This will allow another
architecture to scale the bitmaps if necessary, and possibly use
controls that don't take the user-space control format at all.

Of the remaining functions that access ctrl_val[] directly,
apply_config() is part of the architecture-specific code, and is
called via resctrl_arch_update_domains(). reset_all_ctrls() will be an
architecture specific helper.

update_mba_bw() manipulates both ctrl_val[], mbps_val[] and the
hardware. The mbps_val[] that matches the mba_sc state of the resource
is changed, but the other is left unchanged. Abstracting this is the
subject of later patches that affect set_mba_sc() too.

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.
