Introduce the interface file "mbm_assign_mode" to list monitor modes supported. The "mbm_cntr_assign" mode provides the option to assign a counter to an RMID, event pair and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is assigned. On AMD systems "mbm_cntr_assign" is backed by the ABMC (Assignable Bandwidth Monitoring Counters) hardware feature and is enabled by default. The "default" mode is the existing monitoring mode that works without the explicit counter assignment, instead relying on dynamic counter assignment by hardware that may result in hardware not dedicating a counter resulting in monitoring data reads returning "Unavailable". Provide an interface to display the monitor mode on the system. $ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode [mbm_cntr_assign] default Signed-off-by: Babu Moger <babu.moger@xxxxxxx> --- v9: Updated user documentation based on comments. v8: Commit message update. v7: Updated the descriptions/commit log in resctrl.rst to generic text. Thanks to James and Reinette. Rename mbm_mode to mbm_assign_mode. Introduced mutex lock in rdtgroup_mbm_mode_show(). v6: Added documentation for mbm_cntr_assign and legacy mode. Moved mbm_mode fflags initialization to static initialization. v5: Changed interface name to mbm_mode. It will be always available even if ABMC feature is not supported. Added description in resctrl.rst about ABMC mode. Fixed display abmc and legacy consistantly. v4: Fixed the checks for legacy and abmc mode. Default it ABMC. v3: New patch to display ABMC capability. --- Documentation/arch/x86/resctrl.rst | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 64 insertions(+) diff --git a/Documentation/arch/x86/resctrl.rst b/Documentation/arch/x86/resctrl.rst index 30586728a4cd..a93d7980e25f 100644 --- a/Documentation/arch/x86/resctrl.rst +++ b/Documentation/arch/x86/resctrl.rst @@ -257,6 +257,39 @@ with the following files: # cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_local_bytes_config 0=0x30;1=0x30;3=0x15;4=0x15 +"mbm_assign_mode": + Reports the list of monitoring modes supported.
