Fix SNC state detection on non-SNC-capable platforms
Description
On platforms that do not support Sub-NUMA Clustering (SNC) monitoring (e.g., AMD and Hygon), if the CPU topology indicates that the number of NUMA nodes and the number of sockets are not equal, the SNC state detection logic in hw_cap_mon_snc_state() will attempt to read the SNC configuration MSR register PQOS_MSR_SNC_CFG (0xCA0) that is not
available. This causes the command "pqos --iface=msr" to fail with the error:
Fix the issue by ensuring hw_cap_mon_snc_state() returns early on non-SNC-capable platforms.
Affected parts
Motivation and Context
The command "pqos --iface=msr" fails on non-SNC-capable platforms during SNC state detection with the error:
The code changes fix the issue on non-SNC-capable platforms.
How Has This Been Tested?
(1) Run "pqos --iface=msr" without the error described above on non-SNC-capable platforms (e.g., AMD or Hygon).
(2) Passed all tests in intel-cmt-cat/unit-test.
