Thanks, Kan -- your patch looks good, and cleaner than the previous method!

Tonight, I've tested it on our in-house simulator for the following configurations. The simulator has been matching hardware well for this issue -- we'll do more testing on real hardware, but I'm confident you have it right.


That's great. Thanks a lot for the verification. :)

Thanks,
Kan

Terminology:

"hubless" -- equivalent to "glueless" or "white box" where our BIOS sets things up with a single bus for all sockets.

"scalable" -- BIOS assigns a new segment/domain for each socket

Configurations tested so far:
- single-socket hubless/scalable
- two sockets, scalable
- four sockets, hubless
- eight sockets, scalable

In all cases, skx_count_chabox() is returning 28 for Skylake server.
Thanks for the quick response!
Gary

For systems with a single PCI segment, it is sufficient to look for the
bus number to change in order to determine that all of the CHa's have
been counted for a single socket.

However, for multi PCI segment systems, each socket is given a new
segment and the bus number does NOT change. So looking only for the
bus number to change ends up counting all of the CHa's on all sockets
in the system. This leads to writing CPU MSRs beyond a valid range and
causes an error in ivbep_uncore_msr_init_box().

The fix is to check for either the bus number or segment number to
change.


Hi Gary,

There is a recommended way in uncore document to query the number of
CHAs on Skylake server.
I have a patch to implement the new way.

Could you please take a look at the patch and see if it can fix your
issue?


Thanks,
Kan

Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel/uncore: Querying number of CHAs from
CAPID6 register

The number of CHAs is miscalculated on multi PCI domain systems on
Skylake server

(From Kroening, Gary:

For systems with a single PCI segment, it is sufficient to look for the
bus number to change in order to determine that all of the CHa's have
been counted for a single socket.

in the system. This leads to writing CPU MSRs beyond a valid range and
causes an error in ivbep_uncore_msr_init_box().)

To determine the number of CHAs, it should read bits 27:0 in the CAPID6
register located at Device 30, Function 3, Offset 0x9C. These 28 bits
form a bit vector of available LLC slices and the CHAs that manage those
slices.

support")
