From 95f3be798472f63b495ca4712af005ea5ac7aa47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kan Liang Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2016 07:31:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel/uncore: Add enable_box for client MSR uncore There are bug reports about miscounting uncore counters on some client machines like Sandybridge, Broadwell and Skylake. It is very likely to be observed on idle systems. This issue is caused by a hardware issue. PERF_GLOBAL_CTL could be cleared after Package C7, and nothing will be count. The related errata (HSD 158) could be found in: www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/4th-gen-core-family-desktop-specification-update.pdf This patch tries to work around this issue by re-enabling PERF_GLOBAL_CTL in ->enable_box(). The workaround does not cover all cases. It helps for new events after returning from C7. But it cannot prevent C7, it will still miscount if a counter is already active. There is no drawback in leaving it enabled, so it does not need disable_box() here.
