[PATCH v3] perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix CAS_COUNT_WRITE issue for ICX

[PATCH v3] perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix CAS_COUNT_WRITE issue for ICX

[zhengjun.xing]

From: Zhengjun Xing <zhengjun.xing@linux.intel.com>

The user recently report a perf issue in the ICX platform, when test by
perf event “uncore_imc_x/cas_count_write”,the write bandwidth is always
very small (only 0.38MB/s), it is caused by the wrong "umask" for the
"cas_count_write" event. When double-checking, find "cas_count_read"
also is wrong.

The public document for ICX uncore:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/download/3rd-gen-intel-xeon-processor-scalable-uncore-pm.html

On page 142, Table 2-143, defines Unit Masks for CAS_COUNT:
RD b00001111
WR b00110000

So Corrected both "cas_count_read" and "cas_count_write" for ICX.

Old settings:
 hswep_uncore_imc_events
	INTEL_UNCORE_EVENT_DESC(cas_count_read,  "event=0x04,umask=0x03")
 	INTEL_UNCORE_EVENT_DESC(cas_count_write, "event=0x04,umask=0x0c")

New settings:
 snr_uncore_imc_events
	INTEL_UNCORE_EVENT_DESC(cas_count_read,  "event=0x04,umask=0x0f")
	INTEL_UNCORE_EVENT_DESC(cas_count_write, "event=0x04,umask=0x30"),

Fixes: 2b3b76b5ec67 ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Add Ice Lake server uncore support")

If you have the user's name, you may want to add a Reported-by tag to 
give them credit. If you don't have, it doesn't matter either.

I think we usually want a permanent reference in the change log. The 
document may be updated later. The page number or the table number may 
not be accurate anymore.

I guess you may want to give the exact document name and the version 
number here. So people can still easily locate the information several 
years later.
E.g., "3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family, Codename Ice 
Lake, Uncore Performance Monitoring Reference Manual, Revision 1.00, May 
2021"

Other than the above comments, the patch looks good to me.

Unfortunately, I haven't the exactly user's name.

Thanks, I will update it in the new version patch.
