A self-describing mechanism for the uncore PerfMon hardware has been
introduced with the latest Intel platforms. By reading through an MMIO
page worth of information, perf can 'discover' all the standard uncore
PerfMon registers in a machine.
The discovery mechanism relies on BIOS's support. With a proper BIOS,
a PCI device with the unique capability ID 0x23 can be found on each
die. Perf can retrieve the information of all available uncore PerfMons
from the device via MMIO. The information is composed of one global
discovery table and several unit discovery tables.
- The global discovery table includes global uncore information of the
die, e.g., the address of the global control register, the offset of
the global status register, the number of uncore units, the offset of
unit discovery tables, etc.
- The unit discovery table includes generic uncore unit information,
e.g., the access type, the counter width, the address of counters,
the address of the counter control, the unit ID, the unit type, etc.
The unit is also called "box" in the code.
Perf can provide basic uncore support based on this information
with the following patches.
To locate the PCI device with the discovery tables, check the generic
PCI ID first. If it doesn't match, go through the entire PCI device tree
and locate the device with the unique capability ID.
The uncore information is similar among dies. To save parsing time and
space, only completely parse and store the discovery tables on the first
die and the first box of each die. The parsed information is stored in
an
RB tree structure, intel_uncore_discovery_type. The size of the stored
discovery tables varies among platforms. It's around 4KB for a Sapphire
Rapids server.
If a BIOS doesn't support the 'discovery' mechanism, the uncore driver
will exit with -ENODEV. There is nothing changed.
Add a module parameter to disable the discovery feature. If a BIOS gets
the discovery tables wrong, users can have an option to disable the
feature. For the current patchset, the uncore driver will exit with
-ENODEV. In the future, it may fall back to the hardcode uncore driver
on a known platform.

Wouldn't it be better to use a positive form like 'uncore_discover = true'?
To disable, the module param can be set to 'uncore_discover = false'.
I'd like the feature is enabled by default. The default value of a
static is 0. So I use the current name. It's just a personal preference.

I find it confusing and easy to miss - ctl and ctr. Some places you used
ctrl or counter. Why not be consistent? :)
The ctl and ctr are consistent with the variable name in the struct
intel_uncore_type.
The counter or counter control are only in the comments.
I guess the naming should be OK. :)
Thanks,
Kan
