[RFC PATCH 1/5] x86/ibs: In-kernel IBS driver for page access profiling

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

 



Use IBS (Instruction Based Sampling) feature present
in AMD processors for memory access tracking. The access
information obtained from IBS will be used in subsequent
patches to drive NUMA balancing.

An NMI handler is registered to obtain the IBS data. The
handler does nothing much yet. It just filters out the
non-useful samples and collects some stats. This patch
just builds the framework and IBS execution sampling is
enabled only in a subsequent patch.

TODOs
-----
1. Perf also uses IBS. For the purpose of this prototype
   just disable the use of IBS in perf. This needs to be
   done cleanly.
2. Only the required MSR bits are defined here.

About IBS
---------
IBS can be programmed to provide data about instruction
execution periodically. This is done by programming a desired
sample count (number of ops) in a control register. When the
programmed number of ops are dispatched, a micro-op gets tagged,
various information about the tagged micro-op's execution is
populated in IBS execution MSRs and an interrupt is raised.
While IBS provides a lot of data for each sample, for the
purpose of  memory access profiling, we are interested in
linear and physical address of the memory access that reached
DRAM. Recent AMD processors provide further filtering where
it is possible to limit the sampling to those ops that had
an L3 miss which greately reduces the non-useful samples.

While IBS provides capability to sample instruction fetch
and execution, only IBS execution sampling is used here
to collect data about memory accesses that occur during
the instruction execution.

More information about IBS is available in Sec 13.3 of
AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual, Volume 2:System
Programming which is present at:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=288923

Information about MSRs used for programming IBS can be
found in Sec 2.1.14.4 of PPR Vol 1 for AMD Family 19h
Model 11h B1 which is currently present at:
https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/55901_0.25.zip
