Subject: [PATCH v11 13/13] Documentation/x86: Update resctrl.rst for new features
Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2023 10:44:05 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230109164405.569714-14-babu.moger@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230109164405.569714-1-babu.moger@amd.com>

Update the documentation for the new features:
1. Slow Memory Bandwidth allocation (SMBA).
   With this feature, the QOS  enforcement policies can be applied
   to the external slow memory connected to the host. QOS enforcement
   is accomplished by assigning a Class Of Service (COS) to a processor
   and specifying allocations or limits for that COS for each resource
   to be allocated.

2. Bandwidth Monitoring Event Configuration (BMEC).
   The bandwidth monitoring events mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes
   are set to count all the total and local reads/writes respectively.
   With the introduction of slow memory, the two counters are not
   enough to count all the different types of memory events. With the
   feature BMEC, the users have the option to configure mbm_total_bytes
   and mbm_local_bytes to count the specific type of events.

Also add configuration instructions with examples.

+Slow Memory Bandwidth Allocation (SMBA)
+---------------------------------------
+AMD hardware supports Slow Memory Bandwidth Allocation (SMBA).
+CXL.memory is the only supported "slow" memory device. With the
+support of SMBA, the hardware enables bandwidth allocation on
+the slow memory devices. If there are multiple such devices in
+the system, the throttling logic groups all the slow sources
+together and applies the limit on them as a whole.
+
+The presence of SMBA (with CXL.memory) is independent of slow memory
+devices presence. If there are no such devices on the system, then
+configuring SMBA will have no impact on the performance of the system.
+
+The bandwidth domain for slow memory is L3 cache. Its schemata file
+is formatted as:
+::
+
+	SMBA:<cache_id0>=bandwidth0;<cache_id1>=bandwidth1;...

+Reading/writing the schemata file (on AMD systems)
+--------------------------------------------------
+Reading the schemata file will show the current bandwidth limit on all
+domains. The allocated resources are in multiples of one eighth GB/s.
+When writing to the file, you need to specify what cache id you wish to
+configure the bandwidth limit.
+
+For example, to allocate 2GB/s limit on the first cache id:
+
+::
+
+  # cat schemata

+Reading/writing the schemata file (on AMD systems) with SMBA feature
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+Reading and writing the schemata file is the same as without SMBA in
