x86/cpufeatures: Add Bandwidth Monitoring Event Configuration feature flag
Newer AMD processors support the new feature Bandwidth Monitoring Event
Configuration (BMEC).
The feature support is identified via CPUID Fn8000_0020_EBX_x0[3]: EVT_CFG -
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. Therefore, BMEC provides the option to configure
mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes to count the specific type of events.
Each BMEC event has a configuration MSR which contains one field for each
bandwidth type that can be used to configure the bandwidth event to track any
combination of supported bandwidth types. The event will count requests from
every bandwidth type bit that is set in the corresponding configuration
register.
Following are the types of events supported:
==== ========================================================
Bits Description
==== ========================================================
6 Dirty Victims from the QOS domain to all types of memory
5 Reads to slow memory in the non-local NUMA domain
4 Reads to slow memory in the local NUMA domain
3 Non-temporal writes to non-local NUMA domain
2 Non-temporal writes to local NUMA domain
1 Reads to memory in the non-local NUMA domain
0 Reads to memory in the local NUMA domain
==== ========================================================
By default, the mbm_total_bytes configuration is set to 0x7F to count
all the event types and the mbm_local_bytes configuration is set to 0x15 to
count all the local memory events.
Feature description is available in the specification, "AMD64 Technology
Platform Quality of Service Extensions, Revision: 1.03 Publication" at
