[PATCH V2 3/3] perf/x86/intel: Add quirk for Goldmont Plus

From: kan . liang
Date: Wed Aug 08 2018 - 11:22:00 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

A ucode patch is needed for Goldmont Plus while counter freezing feature
is enabled. Otherwise, there will be some issues, e.g. PMI flood with
some events.

Add a quirk to check microcode version. If the system starts with the
wrong ucode, leave the counter-freezing feature permanently disabled.

Signed-off-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes since V1:
- Only check the microcode version on CPU 0 at initialization.
