If AMD Performance Monitoring Version 2 (PerfMonV2) is
supported, use a new scheme to process Core PMC overflows
in the NMI handler using the new global control and status
registers. This will be bypassed on unsupported hardware
(x86_pmu.version < 2).
In x86_pmu_handle_irq(), overflows are detected by testing
the contents of the PERF_CTR register for each active PMC in
a loop. The new scheme instead inspects the overflow bits of
the global status register.
The Performance Counter Global Status (PerfCntrGlobalStatus)
register has overflow (PerfCntrOvfl) bits for each PMC. This
is, however, a read-only MSR. To acknowledge that overflows
have been processed, the NMI handler must clear the bits by
writing to the PerfCntrGlobalStatusClr register.
In x86_pmu_handle_irq(), PMCs counting the same event that
are started and stopped at the same time record slightly
different counts due to delays in between reads from the
PERF_CTR registers. This is fixed by stopping and starting
the PMCs at the same before and with a single write to the
Performance Counter Global Control (PerfCntrGlobalCtl) upon
entering and before exiting the NMI handler.
