[PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Check perf metrics feature for each CPU

From: kan . liang
Date: Thu Oct 01 2020 - 17:17:37 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It might be possible that different CPUs have different CPU metrics on a
platform. In this case, writing the GLOBAL_CTRL_EN_PERF_METRICS bit to
the GLOBAL_CTRL register of a CPU, which doesn't support the TopDown
perf metrics feature, causes MSR access error.

Current TopDown perf metrics feature is enumerated using the boot CPU's
PERF_CAPABILITIES MSR. The MSR only indicates the boot CPU supports this
feature.

Check the PERF_CAPABILITIES MSR for each CPU. If any CPU doesn't support
the perf metrics feature, disable the feature globally.

Fixes: 59a854e2f3b9 ("perf/x86/intel: Support TopDown metrics on Ice Lake")
