Subject: [PATCH v6 12/12] Documentation/x86: Update resctrl_ui.rst for new features
Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2022 15:30:40 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <166543384024.23830.1715326237069935949.stgit@bmoger-ubuntu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <166543345606.23830.3120625408601531368.stgit@bmoger-ubuntu>

Update the documentation for the new features:
1. Slow Memory Bandwidth allocation (SMBA).
   With this feature, the QOS  enforcement policies can be applied
   to the external slow memory connected to the host. QOS enforcement
   is accomplished by assigning a Class Of Service (COS) to a processor
   and specifying allocations or limits for that COS for each resource
   to be allocated.

2. Bandwidth Monitoring Event Configuration (BMEC).
   The bandwidth monitoring events mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes
   are set to count all the total and local reads/writes respectively.
   With the introduction of slow memory, the two counters are not
   enough to count all the different types of memory events. With the
   feature BMEC, the users have the option to configure mbm_total_bytes
   and mbm_local_bytes to count the specific type of events.

Also add configuration instructions with examples.

+Slow Memory bandwidth Allocation (SMBA)
+-------------------------------------------------
+AMD hardware can support slow Memory bandwidth Allocation feature.
+Currently, CXL.memory is the only supported "slow" memory device.
+With the support of SMBA feature the hardware enables bandwidth
+allocation on the slow memory devices. If there are multiple slow
+memory devices in the system, then the throttling logic groups all
+the slow sources together and applies the limit on them as a whole.
+
+The presence of the SMBA feature(with CXL.memory) is independent
+of whether slow memory device is actually present in the system.
+If there is no slow memory in the system, then setting a SMBA limit
+will have no impact on the performance of the system.
