Merge branch 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 cache quality monitoring update from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update provides a complete rewrite of the Cache Quality
  Monitoring (CQM) facility.

  The existing CQM support was duct taped into perf with a lot of issues
  and the attempts to fix those turned out to be incomplete and
  horrible.

  After lengthy discussions it was decided to integrate the CQM support
  into the Resource Director Technology (RDT) facility, which is the
  obvious choise as in hardware CQM is part of RDT. This allowed to add
  Memory Bandwidth Monitoring support on top.

  As a result the mechanisms for allocating cache/memory bandwidth and
  the corresponding monitoring mechanisms are integrated into a single
  management facility with a consistent user interface"
