When an event is terminated, intel_cqm_event_stop calls
pqr_cache_update_rmid and sets state->next_rmid to the rmid of its
parent in the RMID hierarchy. That would make next call to
__pqr_update to update PQR_ASSOC.

What about all the cases like context swith to a pid2 which is not monitored.. (assume event1 still exists)

if __intel_cqm_no_event_sched_in does nothing, the PQR_ASSOC msr is

But due to 2 and 3 below they are equal ?


even if next_rmid_mode == PQR_RMID_MODE_NOEVENT .

Not sure I see the problem you point here. In step 3, PQR_ASSOC is
updated with RMID1, __pqr_update is the one called using the scheduler
hook, right after perf sched_in .

Allow monitored cgroups to update the PQR MSR during task switch even
without an associated perf_event.

The package RMID for the current monr associated with a monitored
cgroup is written to hw during task switch (after perf_events is run)
if perf_event did not write a RMID for an event.

perf_event and any other caller of pqr_cache_update_rmid can update the
CPU's RMID using one of two modes:
- PQR_RMID_MODE_NOEVENT: A RMID that do not correspond to an event.
e.g. the RMID of the root pmonr when no event is scheduled.
- PQR_RMID_MODE_EVENT: A RMID used by an event. Set during pmu::add
unset on pmu::del. This mode prevents from using a non-event
cgroup RMID.

This patch also introduces caching of writes to PQR MSR within the
per-pcu
pqr state variable. This interface to update RMIDs and CLOSIDs will be
also utilized in upcoming versions of Intel's MBM and CAT drivers.

if perf_cgroup is not defined then the state is not updated here so the
state might have state->rmid might have IDs ?

1.event1 for PID1 has RMID1,
2.perf sched_in - state->next_rmid = rmid1
3.pqr_update - state->rmid = rmid1
4.sched_out - write PQR_NOEVENT -
5.next switch_to - state->rmid not reset nothing changes (when no
perf_cgroup) ?


Between 4 and 5 say event1 is dead. Basically on the next context switch(#5)
if perf sched_in wasnt called the PQR still has RMID1.

When you have perf_cgroup you call the __intel_cqm_no_event.. then it sees
if there is continuous monitoring or you set the next_rmid to 0- but all the
code there is inside #ifdef PERF_CGROUP, so without cgroup its never reset
to zero ?
