Documentation/x86: Rename resctrl_ui.rst and add two errata to the file
Intel Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) counters may report system memory bandwidth incorrectly on some Intel processors. This is reported in documented in erratum SKX99, erratum BDF102 and in the RDT reference manual, see Documentation/x86/index.rst. To work around the errata, MBM total and local readings are corrected using a correction factor table. Since the correction factor table is not publicly documented anywhere, document the table and the errata in Documentation/x86/resctrl.rst for future reference.

Intel RDT Errata
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
Intel MBM Counters May Report System Memory Bandwidth Incorrectly
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Errata SKX99 for Skylake server and BDF102 for Broadwell server.
|
||||
|
||||
Problem: Intel Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) counters track metrics
|
||||
according to the assigned Resource Monitor ID (RMID) for that logical
|
||||
core. The IA32_QM_CTR register (MSR 0xC8E), used to report these
|
||||
metrics, may report incorrect system bandwidth for certain RMID values.
|
||||
|
||||
Implication: Due to the errata, system memory bandwidth may not match
|
||||
what is reported.
|
||||
|
||||
Workaround: MBM total and local readings are corrected according to the
|
||||
following correction factor table:
|
||||

||||

If rmid > rmid threshold, MBM total and local values should be multiplied
|
||||
by the correction factor.
