https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1326301 Bug ID: 1326301 Summary: Review Request: intel-cmt-cat - Software providing access to Intel (R) RDT technologies Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: tomasz.kantecki@xxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Spec URL: https://01.org/sites/default/files/page/intel-cmt-cat.spec_.gz SRPM URL: https://01.org/sites/default/files/page/intel-cmt-cat-0.1.4-1.fc18.src_.rpm Description: Hi! I have finished packaging intel-cmt-cat software and I would appreciate a review so it can be packaged for Fedora. Software package includes command line tool and the corresponding man page. The tool allows to monitor LLC cache occupancy (CMT) and memory bandwidth (MBM) as well as control/configure access to LLC (CAT & CDP). Through configuring cache access, workloads can be isolated and their impact on other workloads can be reduced. Several studies found it useful for improved server utilization and service assurance. Example: http://csl.stanford.edu/~christos/publications/2015.heracles.isca.pdfFedora CAT and CDP are not enabled via any Linux framework at the moment. The tool provides solution until kernel frameworks enable the technologies in question and customers upgrade their kernels. CMT and MBM can be used via Linux perf in kernels 4.1+ and 4.6+ respectively. The tool depends only on x86 MSR kernel driver (arch/x86/kernel/msr.c) and C & pthreads libraries. This is user space software and because it accesses MSR's it needs adequate level of privilege.
