x86/cpu/amd: Enable the fixed Instructions Retired counter IRPERF
Commit
aaf248848db50 ("perf/x86/msr: Add AMD IRPERF (Instructions Retired)
performance counter")
added support for access to the free-running counter via 'perf -e
msr/irperf/', but when exercised, it always returns a 0 count:
BEFORE:
$ perf stat -e instructions,msr/irperf/ true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
624,833 instructions
0 msr/irperf/
Simply set its enable bit - HWCR bit 30 - to make it start counting.
Enablement is restricted to all machines advertising IRPERF capability,
except those susceptible to an erratum that makes the IRPERF return
bad values.
That erratum occurs in Family 17h models 00-1fh [1], but not in F17h
models 20h and above [2].
AFTER (on a family 17h model 31h machine):
$ perf stat -e instructions,msr/irperf/ true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
621,690 instructions
622,490 msr/irperf/
