Zen 4 systems running buggy microcode can hit a WARN_ON() in the PMI
handler, as shown below, several times while perf runs. A simple
`perf top` run is enough to render the system unusable.
WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 20608 at arch/x86/events/amd/core.c:944 amd_pmu_v2_handle_irq+0x1be/0x2b0
This happens because the Performance Counter Global Status Register
(PerfCntGlobalStatus) has one or more bits set which are considered
reserved according to the "AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual,
Volume 2: System Programming, 24593". The document can be found at
https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/24593.pdf
To make this less intrusive, warn just once if any reserved bit is set
and prompt the user to update the microcode. Also sanitize the value to
what the code is handling, so that the overflow events continue to be
handled for the number of counters that are known to be sane.
Going forward, the following microcode patch levels are recommended
for Zen 4 processors in order to avoid such issues with reserved bits.
Family=0x19 Model=0x11 Stepping=0x01: Patch=0x0a10113e
Family=0x19 Model=0x11 Stepping=0x02: Patch=0x0a10123e
Family=0x19 Model=0xa0 Stepping=0x01: Patch=0x0aa00116
Family=0x19 Model=0xa0 Stepping=0x02: Patch=0x0aa00212
Commit f2eb058afc57 ("linux-firmware: Update AMD cpu microcode") from
the linux-firmware tree has binaries that meet the minimum required
patch levels.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
v2:
- Use pr_warn_once() instead of WARN_ON_ONCE() to prompt users to
update microcode
- Rework commit message and add details of minimum required microcode
patch levels.
