Subject: [PATCH v10 01/17] x86/resctrl: Fix enumeration of number of supported RMIDs
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 10:27:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729172752.11561-2-tony.luck@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729172752.11561-1-tony.luck@intel.com>

There is a multi-step decision tree for enumeration on X86 of Intel Resource
Director Technology (RDT) also known as AMD Platform Quality of Service (PQOS)

First check CPUID(0x7,0x0).EBX{12} (Linux feature flag X86_FEATURE_CQM).
If this is "0" no monitoring features are supported. If it is "1" then
monitoring is supported, the IA32_PQR_ASSOC MSR exists, and the RMID field can
be written with values from zero to the value enumerated in CPUID(0xF,0x0).EBX.

Second check CPUID(0xF,0x0).EDX{1} (Linux feature flag X86_FEATURE_CQM_LLC).
If this is "1" then one or more L3 cache monitoring features exist and
further enumeration from CPUID(0xF,0x1) provides information about L3
monitoring features.

Linux skips the check for X86_FEATURE_CQM and begins with step two checking
X86_FEATURE_CQM_LLC.

This is a problem for systems that do not support any L3 monitoring features
(or have disabled them with the kernel boot parameter "clearcpuid=cqm_llc")
but do support other features such as Application Energy Telemetry. On
such a system cpuinfo_x86::x86_cache_max_rmid is incorrectly set to "-1".

Correct the checks to follow guidance from the Intel Software
Developer's manual and AMD Architecture Programmer's Manual.

Fixes: cbc82b172638 ("x86: Add support for Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) detection")

v10:
	New patch so that boot_cpu_data.x86_cache_max_rmid is useful
	even on systems that don't have cache monitoring.

	Perhaps only worthy of backport to older kernels if taking the
	rest of this series.
