Subject: [PATCH 2/3] perf/x86/intel: fix for MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x quirk when no TSX
Date: Wed,  1 Jun 2016 19:42:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464835323-33872-3-git-send-email-davidcc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1464835323-33872-1-git-send-email-davidcc@google.com>

Intel's SDM states that bits 61:62 in MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x are the
TSX flags for formats with LBR_TSX flags (i.e. LBR_FORMAT_EIP_EFLAGS2).

However, when the CPU has TSX support deactivated, bits 61:62 actually
behave as follows:
  - For wrmsr, bits 61:62 are considered part of the sign-extension.
  - LBR hw updates to the MSR (no through wrmsr) will clear bits 61:62,
  regardless of the sign of bit at position 47, i.e. bit 61:62 are not
  part of the sign-extension.

Therefore, if the following conditions are all true:
  1) LBR has TSX format.
  2) CPU has no TSX support enabled.
  3) data in MSR (bits 0:48) is negative.
then any value passed to wrmsr must be signed-extended to 63 bits
and any value from rdmsr must be converted to 61 bits, ignoring the
TSX flags. We also need the quirk at context switch, when save/restore
the value of MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x

This bug was masked by the work-around to the bug:
"LBR May Contain Incorrect Information When Using FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI"
The work-around workis by forbidding the capture of kernel memory
addresses by filtering out all kernel branches in hw and therefore
causing all branches in MSR_LAST_BRANCH to be user addresses. User
addresses have bits 61:62 CLEAR and do no trigger the wrmsr bug in
MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x when saved/restored at context switch.

To verify the hw bug:

  $ perf record -b -e cycles sleep 1
  $ iotools/rdmsr 0 0x680
  0x1fffffffb0b9b0cc
  $ iotools/wrmsr 0 0x680 0x1fffffffb0b9b0cc
  write(): Input/output error

To test the workaround, use a perf tool and kernel using the patch
next in this series. That patch removes the work around that masked
the hw bug:

  $ ./lbr_perf record --call-graph lbr -e cycles:k ./cqm_easy

where lbr_perf is the patched perf tool, that allows to specify :k
on lbr mode. The above command will trigger a #GPF :
