[PATCH v2 02/17] x86/resctrl: Add support for Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters (ABMC)

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

 



AMD hardware can support 256 or more RMIDs. However, bandwidth monitoring
feature 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 active.

Users can create 256 or more monitor groups. But there can be only limited
number of groups that can be give guaranteed monitoring numbers.  With ever
changing configurations there is no way to definitely know which of these
groups will be active 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 an RMID to the
hardware counter and monitor the bandwidth for a longer duration.
The assigned RMID will be active 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.

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 assign a maximum
of 2 ABMC counters per group. User will also have the option to assign only
one counter to the group. If the system runs out of assignable ABMC
counters, kernel will display an error. Users need to unassign an already
assigned counter to make space for new assignments.

AMD hardware provides total of 32 ABMC counters when supported.

The feature can be detected via CPUID_Fn80000020_EBX_x00 bit 5.
