x86/resctrl: Fix incorrect local bandwidth when mba_sc is enabled
The MBA software controller (mba_sc) is a feedback loop which periodically reads MBM counters and tries to restrict the bandwidth below a user-specified value. It tags along the MBM counter overflow handler to do the updates with 1s interval in mbm_update() and update_mba_bw(). The purpose of mbm_update() is to periodically read the MBM counters to make sure that the hardware counter doesn't wrap around more than once between user samplings. mbm_update() calls __mon_event_count() for local bandwidth updating when mba_sc is not enabled, but calls mbm_bw_count() instead when mba_sc is enabled. __mon_event_count() will not be called for local bandwidth updating in MBM counter overflow handler, but it is still called when reading MBM local bandwidth counter file 'mbm_local_bytes', the call path is as below: rdtgroup_mondata_show() mon_event_read() mon_event_count() __mon_event_count() In __mon_event_count(), m->chunks is updated by delta chunks which is calculated from previous MSR value (m->prev_msr) and current MSR value. When mba_sc is enabled, m->chunks is also updated in mbm_update() by mistake by the delta chunks which is calculated from m->prev_bw_msr instead of m->prev_msr. But m->chunks is not used in update_mba_bw() in the mba_sc feedback loop. When reading MBM local bandwidth counter file, m->chunks was changed unexpectedly by mbm_bw_count(). As a result, the incorrect local bandwidth counter which calculated from incorrect m->chunks is shown to the user. Fix this by removing incorrect m->chunks updating in mbm_bw_count() in MBM counter overflow handler, and always calling __mon_event_count() in mbm_update() to make sure that the hardware local bandwidth counter doesn't wrap around.
