Pull x86 resource control updates from Borislav Petkov: - Add a tracepoint to read out LLC occupancy of resource monitor IDs with the goal of freeing them sooner rather than later - Other code improvements and cleanups * tag 'x86_cache_for_v6.10_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/resctrl: Add tracepoint for llc_occupancy tracking x86/resctrl: Rename pseudo_lock_event.h to trace.h x86/resctrl: Simplify call convention for MSR update functions x86/resctrl: Pass domain to target CPU

max_threshold_occupancy is a user configurable value to determine the
occupancy at which an RMID can be freed.
+The mon_llc_occupancy_limbo tracepoint gives the precise occupancy in bytes
+for a subset of RMID that are not immediately available for allocation.
+This can't be relied on to produce output every second, it may be necessary
+to attempt to create an empty monitor group to force an update. Output may
+only be produced if creation of a control or monitor group fails.
