From: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com> Now that the MPAM system registers are expected to have values that change, reprogram them based on the previous value when a CPU is brought online. Previously MPAM's 'default PARTID' of 0 was always used for MPAM in kernel-space as this is the PARTID that hardware guarantees to reset. Because there are a limited number of PARTID, this value is exposed to user-space, meaning resctrl changes to the resctrl default group would also affect kernel threads. Instead, use the task's PARTID value for kernel work on behalf of user-space too. The default of 0 is kept for both user-space and kernel-space when MPAM is not enabled.
