[PATCH v2 5/6] KVM: x86: selftests: Test core events

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

 



Test events on core counters by iterating through every combination of
events in amd_pmu_zen_events with every core counter.

For each combination, calculate the appropriate register addresses for
the event selection/control register and the counter register. The
base addresses and layout schemes change depending on whether we have
the CoreExt feature.

To do the testing, reuse GUEST_TEST_EVENT to run a standard known
workload. Decouple it from guest_assert_event_count (now
guest_assert_intel_event_count) to generalize to AMD.

Then assert the most specific detail that can be reasonably known
about the counter result. Exact count is defined and known for some
events and for other events merely asserted to be nonzero.

Note on exact counts: AMD counts one more branch than Intel for the
same workload. Though I can't confirm a reason, the only thing it
could be is the boundary of the loop instruction being counted
differently. Presumably, when the counter reaches 0 and execution
continues to the next instruction, AMD counts this as a branch and
Intel doesn't.
