    x86/intel_rdt: Add cpus_list rdtgroup file · 4ffa3c97
    Jiri Olsa authored
    The resource control filesystem provides only a bitmask based cpus file for
    assigning CPUs to a resource group. That's cumbersome with large cpumasks
    and non-intuitive when modifying the file from the command line.
    
    Range based cpu lists are commonly used along with bitmask based cpu files
    in various subsystems throughout the kernel.
    
    Add 'cpus_list' file which is CPU range based.
    
      # cd /sys/fs/resctrl/
      # echo 1-10 > krava/cpus_list
      # cat krava/cpus_list
      1-10
      # cat krava/cpus
      0007fe
      # cat cpus
      fffff9
      # cat cpus_list
      0,3-23
    
    [ tglx: Massaged changelog and replaced "bitmask lists" by "CPU ranges" ]
