x86/resctrl: Discover hardware telemetry events
Each CPU collects data for telemetry events that it sends to the nearest telemetry event aggregator either when the value of MSR_IA32_PQR_ASSOC.RMID changes, or when a two millisecond timer expires. There is a feature type ("energy" or "perf"), GUID, and MMIO region associated with each aggregator. This combination links to an XML description of the set of telemetry events tracked by the aggregator. XML files are published by Intel in a GitHub repository¹. The telemetry event aggregators maintain per-RMID per-event counts of the total seen for all the CPUs. There may be multiple telemetry event aggregators per package. There are separate sets of aggregators for each feature type. Aggregators in a set may have different GUIDs. All aggregators with the same feature type and GUID are symmetric keeping counts for the same set of events for the CPUs that provide data to them. The XML file for each aggregator provides the following information: 0) Feature type of the events ("perf" or "energy") 1) Which telemetry events are tracked by the aggregator. 2) The order in which the event counters appear for each RMID. 3) The value type of each event counter (integer or fixed-point). 4) The number of RMIDs supported. 5) Which additional aggregator status registers are included. 6) The total size of the MMIO region for an aggregator. Introduce struct event_group that condenses the relevant information from an XML file. Hereafter an "event group" refers to a group of events of a particular feature type (event_group::pfname set to "energy" or "perf") with a particular GUID. Use event_group::pfname to determine the feature id needed to obtain the aggregator details. It will later be used in console messages and with the rdt= boot parameter. The INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY driver enumerates support for telemetry events. This driver provides intel_pmt_get_regions_by_feature() to list all available telemetry event aggregators of a given feature type. The list includes the "guid", the base address in MMIO space for the region where the event counters are exposed, and the package id where the all the CPUs that report to this aggregator are located. Call INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY's intel_pmt_get_regions_by_feature() for each event group to obtain a private copy of that event group's aggregator data. Duplicate the aggregator data between event groups that have the same feature type but different GUID. Further processing on this private copy will be unique to the event group. ¹https://github.com/intel/Intel-PMT [ bp: Zap text explaining the code, s/guid/GUID/g ] Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Reviewed-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20251217172121.12030-1-tony.luck@intel.com
