In AMD PQoS Versions 1.0 and 2.0, IA32_QM_EVTSEL MSR is shared by all
processors in a QOS domain.  So there's a chance it can read a different
event when two processors are reading the counter concurrently.  Add a
spinlock to prevent this race.

This is unclear to me. As I understand it this changelog is written as
though there is a race that is being fixed. I believe that rdtgroup_mutex
currently protects against such races. I thus at first thought that
this is a prep patch for the introduction of the new soft RMID feature,
but instead this new spinlock is used independent of the soft RMID feature.

I think the spinlock is unnecessary when the soft RMID feature is disabled.

Please note the difference between the member name in the struct ("evtsel_lock")
and its description ("lock").

If the first "if (static_branch_likely(&rmid_read_locked))" was taken then the second
if branch _has_ to be taken. It should not be optional to release a lock if it was taken. I
think it would be more robust if a single test of the static key decides whether the
spinlock should be used.

My understanding was that the race would happen a lot more when
simultaneously IPI'ing all CPUs in a domain, but I had apparently
overlooked that all of the counter reads were already serialized.

Will fix, thanks.

I read the documentation for static branches and I agree that unlikely
would make more sense so that the non-locked case is less impacted.

This instance apparently confused my understanding of static branches
and I will need to re-visit all uses of them in this patch series.

Is the concern that the branch value could change concurrently and
result in a deadlock?

I'm curious as to whether this case is performance critical enough to
justify using a static branch. It's clear that we should be using them
in the context switch path, but I'm confused about other places
they're used when there are also memory flags.

Possibly ... it may be that the static key cannot change value during
this call but that thus requires deeper understanding of various flows
for this logic to be trusted. I think this should be explicit: if a lock
is taken then releasing it should not be optional at all.

Alternatively, there could be a, (for example) __rmid_read_lock() that
is called from context switch and it always takes a spin lock.
