Subject: [PATCH v3 3/8] perf test ibs: Skip privilege test on Zen6 and newer platforms
Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 05:59:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508060004.2575-4-ravi.bangoria@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260508060004.2575-1-ravi.bangoria@amd.com>
IBS on pre-Zen6 platforms lacked a hardware privilege filter, so the
kernel enabled swfilt=1. Zen6 and newer platforms provides privilege
filtering via the RIP[63] bit, making swfilt redundant. Skip the perf
unit test that assumes IBS has no hardware-assisted privilege filter
on Zen6 and newer platforms.
swfilt is ignored by kernel on platforms that support RIP[63] bit filter
i.e. all amd-ibs-swfilt.sh tests will test hardware assisted privilege
filter.
Without the patch on Zen6:
# sudo ./perf test -vv 77
77: AMD IBS software filtering:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 30813
check availability of IBS swfilt
run perf record with modifier and swfilt
[FAIL] IBS PMU should not accept exclude_kernel
---- end(-1) ----
77: AMD IBS software filtering : FAILED!
With the patch:
# ./perf test -vv 77
77: AMD IBS software filtering:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 30903
check availability of IBS swfilt
run perf record with modifier and swfilt
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB /dev/null ]
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB /dev/null ]

[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB /dev/null ]
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB /dev/null ]
check number of samples with swfilt

[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.051 MB - ]
[ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.063 MB - ]
---- end(0) ----
77: AMD IBS software filtering : Ok
