So I think this is not issue of this patch. What do you think? Thanks for testing the series! Agreed, this is an AMD IBS / x86 NMI quirk rather than an issue in this patchset. On AMD IBS, when a counter overflows it sets IbsOpVal in MSR_AMD64_IBSOPCTL, stops counting, and sends a single edge-triggered NMI. If that NMI edge is lost (e.g., across C-state transitions), IbsOpVal stays set and the counter remains frozen on that CPU until perf_ibs_handle_irq() clears it and re-arms the MSR. That also explains why the sample count in your graph stepped down gradually over time (100k -> 36k -> 18k -> 4k -> 0), as individual CPUs got stuck one by one. When the NMI watchdog is enabled, its periodic NMI walks all NMI_LOCAL handlers (including perf_ibs_nmi_handler()), which spots the pending IbsOpVal bit and re-arms IBS. For ibs_op, a larger period such as sample_period=262144 (as used in the cover letter) or setting config=0x80000 (cnt_ctl=1, dispatched micro-ops instead of clock cycles) also helps reduce the NMI rate on the CPU. Also, if it helps for testing, the damo branch in the cover letter [1] already has sysfs read/write support for the perf_event prep attributes (commit 1178ccb) and tools/damon_tier_gen.py for generating IBS/PEBS configs. Your probe_hits_wsum support in 'damo report access' on your branch is a nice addition as well. [1] https://github.com/ravis-opensrc/damo/tree/damo/auto-tier-bw-2026-10-04 Thanks, Ravi
