Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel/uncore: fix broken read_counter() for SNB IMC PMU
Date: Wed,  3 Aug 2022 09:00:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220803160031.1379788-1-eranian@google.com> (raw)

Existing code was generating bogus counts for the SNB IMC bandwidth counters:

$ perf stat -a -I 1000 -e uncore_imc/data_reads/,uncore_imc/data_writes/
     1.000327813           1,024.03 MiB  uncore_imc/data_reads/
     1.000327813              20.73 MiB  uncore_imc/data_writes/
     2.000580153         261,120.00 MiB  uncore_imc/data_reads/
     2.000580153              23.28 MiB  uncore_imc/data_writes/

The problem was introduced by commit:
  07ce734dd8ad ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Clean up client IMC")

Where the read_counter callback was replace to point to the generic
uncore_mmio_read_counter() function.

The SNB IMC counters are freerunnig 32-bit counters laid out contiguously in
MMIO. But uncore_mmio_read_counter() is using a readq() call to read from
MMIO therefore reading 64-bit from MMIO. Although this is okay for the
uncore_perf_event_update() function because it is shifting the value based
on the actual counter width to compute a delta, it is not okay for the
uncore_pmu_event_start() which is simply reading the counter  and therefore
priming the event->prev_count with a bogus value which is responsible for
causing bogus deltas in the perf stat command above.

The fix is to reintroduce the custom callback for read_counter for the SNB
IMC PMU and use readl() instead of readq(). With the change the output of
perf stat is back to normal:
$ perf stat -a -I 1000 -e uncore_imc/data_reads/,uncore_imc/data_writes/
     1.000120987             296.94 MiB  uncore_imc/data_reads/
     1.000120987             138.42 MiB  uncore_imc/data_writes/
     2.000403144             175.91 MiB  uncore_imc/data_reads/
     2.000403144              68.50 MiB  uncore_imc/data_writes/
