Kim Phillips 21b5ee59ef x86/cpu/amd: Enable the fixed Instructions Retired counter IRPERF 
Commit

  aaf248848d ("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/

README 

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.

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.
