    x86/intel_rdt: Add cpus file · 12e0110c
    Tony Luck authored
    Now we populate each directory with a read/write (mode 0644) file
    named "cpus". This is used to over-ride the resources available
    to processes in the default resource group when running on specific
    CPUs.  Each "cpus" file reads as a cpumask showing which CPUs belong
    to this resource group. Initially all online CPUs are assigned to
    the default group. They can be added to other groups by writing a
    cpumask to the "cpus" file in the directory for the resource group
    (which will remove them from the previous group to which they were
    assigned). CPU online/offline operations will delete CPUs that go
    offline from whatever group they are in and add new CPUs to the
    default group.
    
    If there are CPUs assigned to a group when the directory is removed,
    they are returned to the default group.
