[PATCH] KVM: x86/pmu: Add PEBS support for Intel Sapphire Rapids

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Virtualization support for SPR PEBS has officially available in the
Intel SDM (June 2022) and has been validated on late stepping machines:

Compared to Ice Lake Server, the PDIR counter available (Fixed 0) on SPR
is unchanged, but the capability is enhanced to Instruction-Accurate PDIR
(PDIR++), where PEBS is taken on the next instruction after the one that
caused the overflow. Also, it introduces a new Precise Distribution (PDist)
facility that eliminates the skid when a precise event is programmed
on general programmable counter 0.

For guest usage, KVM will raise attr.precise_ip to 3 in both cases
mentioned above, requesting the correct hardware counter (PRIR++
or PDist) from the perf sub-system on the host as usual.
