perf/x86: Fix intel QPI uncore event definitions
John McCalpin reports that the "drs_data" and "ncb_data" QPI uncore events are missing the "extra bit" and always return zero values unless the bit is properly set. More details from him: According to the Xeon E5-2600 Product Family Uncore Performance Monitoring Guide, Table 2-94, about 1/2 of the QPI Link Layer events (including the ones that "perf" calls "drs_data" and "ncb_data") require that the "extra bit" be set. This was confusing for a while -- a note at the bottom of page 94 says that the "extra bit" is bit 16 of the control register. Unfortunately, Table 2-86 clearly says that bit 16 is reserved and must be zero. Looking around a bit, I found that bit 21 appears to be the correct "extra bit", and further investigation shows that "perf" actually agrees with me: [root@c560-003.stampede]# cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore_qpi_0/format/event config:0-7,21 So the command # perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=drs_data/" Is the same as # perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x02,umask=0x08/" While it should be # perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x102,umask=0x08/" I confirmed that this last version gives results that agree with the amount of data that I expected the STREAM benchmark to move across the QPI link in the second (cross-chip) test of the original script.
