Kan Liang 30cedf18d1 perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix client IMC events return huge result
commit 8041ffd36f upstream.

The client IMC bandwidth events currently return very large values:

  $ perf stat -e uncore_imc/data_reads/ -e uncore_imc/data_writes/ -I 10000 -a

  10.000117222 34,788.76 MiB uncore_imc/data_reads/
  10.000117222 8.26 MiB uncore_imc/data_writes/
  20.000374584 34,842.89 MiB uncore_imc/data_reads/
  20.000374584 10.45 MiB uncore_imc/data_writes/
  30.000633299 37,965.29 MiB uncore_imc/data_reads/
  30.000633299 323.62 MiB uncore_imc/data_writes/
  40.000891548 41,012.88 MiB uncore_imc/data_reads/
  40.000891548 6.98 MiB uncore_imc/data_writes/
  50.001142480 1,125,899,906,621,494.75 MiB uncore_imc/data_reads/
  50.001142480 6.97 MiB uncore_imc/data_writes/

The client IMC events are freerunning counters. They still use the
old event encoding format (0x1 for data_read and 0x2 for data write).
The counter bit width is calculated by common code, which assume that
the standard encoding format is used for the freerunning counters.
Error bit width information is calculated.

The patch intends to convert the old client IMC event encoding to the
standard encoding format.

Current common code uses event->attr.config which directly copy from
user space. We should not implicitly modify it for a converted event.
The event->hw.config is used to replace the event->attr.config in
common code.

For client IMC events, the event->attr.config is used to calculate a
converted event with standard encoding format in the custom
event_init(). The converted event is stored in event->hw.config.
For other events of freerunning counters, they already use the standard
encoding format. The same value as event->attr.config is assigned to
event->hw.config in common event_init().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
