Sub-NUMA Cluster divides CPUs sharing an L3 cache into separate NUMA nodes. Systems may support splitting into either two, three, four or six nodes. When SNC mode is enabled the effective amount of L3 cache available for allocation is divided by the number of nodes per L3. It's possible to detect which SNC mode is active by comparing the number of CPUs that share a cache with CPU0, with the number of CPUs on node0. Detect SNC mode once and let other tests inherit that information. Update CFLAGS after including lib.mk in the Makefile so that fallthrough macro can be used. To check if SNC detection is reliable one can check the /sys/devices/system/cpu/offline file. If it's empty, it means all cores are operational and the ratio should be calculated correctly. If it has any contents, it means the detected SNC mode can't be trusted and should be disabled. Check if detection was not reliable due to offline cpus. If it was skip running tests since the results couldn't be trusted.

resctrl_tests - resctrl file system test suit
Authors:
Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>

resctrl_tests tests various resctrl functionalities and interfaces including
both software and hardware.
Currently it supports Memory Bandwidth Monitoring test and Memory Bandwidth
Allocation test on Intel RDT hardware. More tests will be added in the future.
And the test suit can be extended to cover AMD QoS and ARM MPAM hardware
as well.
resctrl_tests can be run with or without kselftest framework.
WITH KSELFTEST FRAMEWORK
=======================
BUILD
-----
Build executable file "resctrl_tests" from top level directory of the kernel source:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=resctrl
RUN
---
Run resctrl_tests as sudo or root since the test needs to mount resctrl file
system and change contents in the file system.
Using kselftest framework will run all supported tests within resctrl_tests:
$ sudo make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=resctrl run_tests
More details about kselftest framework can be found in
Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst.
WITHOUT KSELFTEST FRAMEWORK
===========================
BUILD
-----
Build executable file "resctrl_tests" from this directory(tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/):
$ make
RUN
---
Run resctrl_tests as sudo or root since the test needs to mount resctrl file
system and change contents in the file system.
Executing the test without any parameter will run all supported tests:
$ sudo ./resctrl_tests
OVERVIEW OF EXECUTION
=====================
A test case has four stages:
- setup: mount resctrl file system, create group, setup schemata, move test
process pids to tasks, start benchmark.
- execute: let benchmark run
- verify: get resctrl data and verify the data with another source, e.g.
perf event.
- teardown: umount resctrl and clear temporary files.
ARGUMENTS
=========
Parameter '-h' shows usage information.
usage: resctrl_tests [-h] [-b "benchmark_cmd [options]"] [-t test list] [-n no_of_bits]
-b benchmark_cmd [options]: run specified benchmark for MBM, MBA and CMT default benchmark is builtin fill_buf
-t test list: run tests specified in the test list, e.g. -t mbm,mba,cmt,cat
-n no_of_bits: run cache tests using specified no of bits in cache bit mask
-p cpu_no: specify CPU number to run the test. 1 is default
-h: help
