[PATCH v8 01/25] x86/cpufeatures: Add support for Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters (ABMC)
From: Babu Moger
Date: Wed Oct 09 2024 - 13:40:37 EST
Users can create as many monitor groups as RMIDs supported by the hardware.
However, bandwidth monitoring feature on AMD system only guarantees that
RMIDs currently assigned to a processor will be tracked by hardware. The
counters of any other RMIDs which are no longer being tracked will be
reset to zero. The MBM event counters return "Unavailable" for the RMIDs
that are not tracked by hardware. So, there can be only limited number of
groups that can give guaranteed monitoring numbers. With ever changing
configurations there is no way to definitely know which of these groups
are being tracked for certain point of time. Users do not have the option
to monitor a group or set of groups for certain period of time without
worrying about RMID being reset in between.
The ABMC feature provides an option to the user to assign a hardware
counter to an RMID, event pair and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is
assigned. The assigned RMID will be tracked by the hardware until the user
unassigns it manually. There is no need to worry about counters being reset
during this period. Additionally, the user can specify a bitmask identifying
the specific bandwidth types from the given source to track with the counter.
Without ABMC enabled, monitoring will work in current mode without
assignment option.
Linux resctrl subsystem provides the interface to count maximum of two
memory bandwidth events per group, from a combination of available total
and local events. Keeping the current interface, users can enable a maximum
of 2 ABMC counters per group. User will also have the option to enable only
one counter to the group. If the system runs out of assignable ABMC
counters, kernel will display an error. Users need to disable an already
enabled counter to make space for new assignments.
The feature can be detected via CPUID_Fn80000020_EBX_x00 bit 5.
