Fenghua Yu 1205b688c9 selftests/resctrl: Fix checking for < 0 for unsigned values
Dan reported following static checker warnings

tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/resctrl_val.c:545 measure_vals()
warn: 'bw_imc' unsigned <= 0

tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/resctrl_val.c:549 measure_vals()
warn: 'bw_resc_end' unsigned <= 0

These warnings are reported because
1. measure_vals() declares 'bw_imc' and 'bw_resc_end' as unsigned long
   variables
2. Return value of get_mem_bw_imc() and get_mem_bw_resctrl() are assigned
   to 'bw_imc' and 'bw_resc_end' respectively
3. The returned values are checked for <= 0 to see if the calls failed

Checking for < 0 for an unsigned value doesn't make any sense.

Fix this issue by changing the implementation of get_mem_bw_imc() and
get_mem_bw_resctrl() such that they now accept reference to a variable
and set the variable appropriately upon success and return 0, else return
< 0 on error.

resctrl_tests - resctrl file system test suit

Authors:
	Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>
	Sai Praneeth Prakhya <sai.praneeth.prakhya@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.

BUILD
-----

Run "make" to build executable file "resctrl_tests".

RUN
---

To use resctrl_tests, root or sudoer privileges are required. This is because
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
