Subject: [PATCH v3] selftests/resctrl: Print a message if the result of MBM&CMT tests is failed on Intel cpu
Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2022 19:39:57 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220304103957.487660-1-tan.shaopeng@jp.fujitsu.com> (raw)
According to "Intel Resource Director Technology (Intel RDT) on
2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors Reference Manual",
When the Intel Sub-NUMA Clustering(SNC) feature is enabled,
Intel CMT and MBM counters may not be accurate.
However, there does not seem to be an architectural way to detect
if SNC is enabled.
If the result of MBM&CMT test fails on Intel CPU,
print a message to let users know a possible cause of failure.

Hello,
In PATCH V2, I tried to detect whether SNC is enabled by NUMA info and
cpuinfo(socket_num), but it is not reliable and no future-proof.
I just print a message to let users know a possible cause of "not ok",
When CMT or MBM test runs on Intel CPU, and the result is "not ok".
This patch is based on v5.16.
