+==========================
+ARM Cache Coherent Network
+==========================
+
+CCN-504 is a ring-bus interconnect consisting of 11 crosspoints
+(XPs), with each crosspoint supporting up to two device ports,
+so nodes (devices) 0 and 1 are connected to crosspoint 0,
+nodes 2 and 3 to crosspoint 1 etc.
+
+PMU (perf) driver
+-----------------
+
+The CCN driver registers a perf PMU driver, which provides
+description of available events and configuration options
+in sysfs, see /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ccn*.
+
+The "format" directory describes format of the config, config1
+and config2 fields of the perf_event_attr structure. The "events"
+directory provides configuration templates for all documented
+events, that can be used with perf tool. For example "xp_valid_flit"
+is an equivalent of "type=0x8,event=0x4". Other parameters must be
+explicitly specified.
+
+For events originating from device, "node" defines its index.
+
+Crosspoint PMU events require "xp" (index), "bus" (bus number)
+and "vc" (virtual channel ID).
+
+Crosspoint watchpoint-based events (special "event" value 0xfe)
+require "xp" and "vc" as above plus "port" (device port index),
+"dir" (transmit/receive direction), comparator values ("cmp_l"
+and "cmp_h") and "mask", being index of the comparator mask.
+
+Masks are defined separately from the event description
+(due to limited number of the config values) in the "cmp_mask"
+directory, with first 8 configurable by user and additional
+4 hardcoded for the most frequent use cases.
+
+Cycle counter is described by a "type" value 0xff and does
+not require any other settings.
+
+The driver also provides a "cpumask" sysfs attribute, which contains
+a single CPU ID, of the processor which will be used to handle all
+the CCN PMU events. It is recommended that the user space tools
+request the events on this processor (if not, the perf_event->cpu value
+will be overwritten anyway). In case of this processor being offlined,
+the events are migrated to another one and the attribute is updated.
+
+Example of perf tool use::
+
+ / # perf list | grep ccn
+ ccn/cycles/ [Kernel PMU event]
+ <...>
+ ccn/xp_valid_flit,xp=?,port=?,vc=?,dir=?/ [Kernel PMU event]
+ <...>
+
+ / # perf stat -a -e ccn/cycles/,ccn/xp_valid_flit,xp=1,port=0,vc=1,dir=1/ \
+ sleep 1
+
+The driver does not support sampling, therefore "perf record" will
+not work. Per-task (without "-a") perf sessions are not supported.

+=============================
+Arm Coherent Mesh Network PMU
+=============================
+
+CMN-600 is a configurable mesh interconnect consisting of a rectangular
+grid of crosspoints (XPs), with each crosspoint supporting up to two
+device ports to which various AMBA CHI agents are attached.
+
+CMN implements a distributed PMU design as part of its debug and trace
+functionality. This consists of a local monitor (DTM) at every XP, which
+counts up to 4 event signals from the connected device nodes and/or the
+XP itself. Overflow from these local counters is accumulated in up to 8
+global counters implemented by the main controller (DTC), which provides
+overall PMU control and interrupts for global counter overflow.
+
+PMU events
+----------
+
+The PMU driver registers a single PMU device for the whole interconnect,
+see /sys/bus/event_source/devices/arm_cmn_0. Multi-chip systems may link
+more than one CMN together via external CCIX links - in this situation,
+each mesh counts its own events entirely independently, and additional
+PMU devices will be named arm_cmn_{1..n}.
+
+Most events are specified in a format based directly on the TRM
+definitions - "type" selects the respective node type, and "eventid" the
+event number. Some events require an additional occupancy ID, which is
+specified by "occupid".
+
+* Since RN-D nodes do not have any distinct events from RN-I nodes, they
+ are treated as the same type (0xa), and the common event templates are
+ named "rnid_*".
+
+* The cycle counter is treated as a synthetic event belonging to the DTC
+ node ("type" == 0x3, "eventid" is ignored).
+
+* XP events also encode the port and channel in the "eventid" field, to
+ match the underlying pmu_event0_id encoding for the pmu_event_sel
+ register. The event templates are named with prefixes to cover all
+ permutations.
+
+By default each event provides an aggregate count over all nodes of the
+given type. To target a specific node, "bynodeid" must be set to 1 and
+"nodeid" to the appropriate value derived from the CMN configuration
+(as defined in the "Node ID Mapping" section of the TRM).
+
+Watchpoints
+-----------
+
+The PMU can also count watchpoint events to monitor specific flit
+traffic. Watchpoints are treated as a synthetic event type, and like PMU
+events can be global or targeted with a particular XP's "nodeid" value.
+Since the watchpoint direction is otherwise implicit in the underlying
+register selection, separate events are provided for flit uploads and
+downloads.
+
+The flit match value and mask are passed in config1 and config2 ("val"
+and "mask" respectively). "wp_dev_sel", "wp_chn_sel", "wp_grp" and
+"wp_exclusive" are specified per the TRM definitions for dtm_wp_config0.
+Where a watchpoint needs to match fields from both match groups on the
+REQ or SNP channel, it can be specified as two events - one for each
+group - with the same nonzero "combine" value. The count for such a
+pair of combined events will be attributed to the primary match.
+Watchpoint events with a "combine" value of 0 are considered independent
+and will count individually.

+ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit (DSU) PMU
+==================================
+
+ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit integrates one or more cores with an L3 memory system,
+control logic and external interfaces to form a multicore cluster. The PMU
+allows counting the various events related to the L3 cache, Snoop Control Unit
+etc, using 32bit independent counters. It also provides a 64bit cycle counter.
+
+The PMU can only be accessed via CPU system registers and are common to the
+cores connected to the same DSU. Like most of the other uncore PMUs, DSU
+PMU doesn't support process specific events and cannot be used in sampling mode.
+
+The DSU provides a bitmap for a subset of implemented events via hardware
+registers. There is no way for the driver to determine if the other events
+are available or not. Hence the driver exposes only those events advertised
+by the DSU, in "events" directory under::
+
+ /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/arm_dsu_<N>/
+
+The user should refer to the TRM of the product to figure out the supported events
+and use the raw event code for the unlisted events.
+
+The driver also exposes the CPUs connected to the DSU instance in "associated_cpus".
+
+

+======================================================
+HiSilicon SoC uncore Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
+======================================================
+
+The HiSilicon SoC chip includes various independent system device PMUs
+such as L3 cache (L3C), Hydra Home Agent (HHA) and DDRC. These PMUs are
+independent and have hardware logic to gather statistics and performance
+information.
+
+The HiSilicon SoC encapsulates multiple CPU and IO dies. Each CPU cluster
+(CCL) is made up of 4 cpu cores sharing one L3 cache; each CPU die is
+called Super CPU cluster (SCCL) and is made up of 6 CCLs. Each SCCL has
+two HHAs (0 - 1) and four DDRCs (0 - 3), respectively.
+
+HiSilicon SoC uncore PMU driver
+-------------------------------
+
+Each device PMU has separate registers for event counting, control and
+interrupt, and the PMU driver shall register perf PMU drivers like L3C,
+HHA and DDRC etc. The available events and configuration options shall
+be described in the sysfs, see:
+
+/sys/devices/hisi_sccl{X}_<l3c{Y}/hha{Y}/ddrc{Y}>/, or
+/sys/bus/event_source/devices/hisi_sccl{X}_<l3c{Y}/hha{Y}/ddrc{Y}>.
+The "perf list" command shall list the available events from sysfs.
+
+Each L3C, HHA and DDRC is registered as a separate PMU with perf. The PMU
+name will appear in event listing as hisi_sccl<sccl-id>_module<index-id>.
+where "sccl-id" is the identifier of the SCCL and "index-id" is the index of
+module.
+
+e.g. hisi_sccl3_l3c0/rd_hit_cpipe is READ_HIT_CPIPE event of L3C index #0 in
+SCCL ID #3.
+
+e.g. hisi_sccl1_hha0/rx_operations is RX_OPERATIONS event of HHA index #0 in
+SCCL ID #1.
+
+The driver also provides a "cpumask" sysfs attribute, which shows the CPU core
+ID used to count the uncore PMU event.
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf list
+ hisi_sccl3_l3c0/rd_hit_cpipe/ [kernel PMU event]
+ ------------------------------------------
+ hisi_sccl3_l3c0/wr_hit_cpipe/ [kernel PMU event]
+ ------------------------------------------
+ hisi_sccl1_l3c0/rd_hit_cpipe/ [kernel PMU event]
+ ------------------------------------------
+ hisi_sccl1_l3c0/wr_hit_cpipe/ [kernel PMU event]
+ ------------------------------------------
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e hisi_sccl3_l3c0/rd_hit_cpipe/ sleep 5
+ $# perf stat -a -e hisi_sccl3_l3c0/config=0x02/ sleep 5
+
+The current driver does not support sampling. So "perf record" is unsupported.
+Also attach to a task is unsupported as the events are all uncore.
+
+Note: Please contact the maintainer for a complete list of events supported for
+the PMU devices in the SoC and its information if needed.

+=====================================================
+Freescale i.MX8 DDR Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
+=====================================================
+
+There are no performance counters inside the DRAM controller, so performance
+signals are brought out to the edge of the controller where a set of 4 x 32 bit
+counters is implemented. This is controlled by the CSV modes programed in counter
+control register which causes a large number of PERF signals to be generated.
+
+Selection of the value for each counter is done via the config registers. There
+is one register for each counter. Counter 0 is special in that it always counts
+“time” and when expired causes a lock on itself and the other counters and an
+interrupt is raised. If any other counter overflows, it continues counting, and
+no interrupt is raised.
+
+The "format" directory describes format of the config (event ID) and config1
+(AXI filtering) fields of the perf_event_attr structure, see /sys/bus/event_source/
+devices/imx8_ddr0/format/. The "events" directory describes the events types
+hardware supported that can be used with perf tool, see /sys/bus/event_source/
+devices/imx8_ddr0/events/. The "caps" directory describes filter features implemented
+in DDR PMU, see /sys/bus/events_source/devices/imx8_ddr0/caps/.
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ perf stat -a -e imx8_ddr0/cycles/ cmd
+ perf stat -a -e imx8_ddr0/read/,imx8_ddr0/write/ cmd
+
+AXI filtering is only used by CSV modes 0x41 (axid-read) and 0x42 (axid-write)
+to count reading or writing matches filter setting. Filter setting is various
+from different DRAM controller implementations, which is distinguished by quirks
+in the driver. You also can dump info from userspace, filter in "caps" directory
+indicates whether PMU supports AXI ID filter or not; enhanced_filter indicates
+whether PMU supports enhanced AXI ID filter or not. Value 0 for un-supported, and
+value 1 for supported.
+
+* With DDR_CAP_AXI_ID_FILTER quirk(filter: 1, enhanced_filter: 0).
+ Filter is defined with two configuration parts:
+ --AXI_ID defines AxID matching value.
+ --AXI_MASKING defines which bits of AxID are meaningful for the matching.
+
+ - 0: corresponding bit is masked.
+ - 1: corresponding bit is not masked, i.e. used to do the matching.
+
+ AXI_ID and AXI_MASKING are mapped on DPCR1 register in performance counter.
+ When non-masked bits are matching corresponding AXI_ID bits then counter is
+ incremented. Perf counter is incremented if::
+
+ AxID && AXI_MASKING == AXI_ID && AXI_MASKING
+
+ This filter doesn't support filter different AXI ID for axid-read and axid-write
+ event at the same time as this filter is shared between counters.
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ perf stat -a -e imx8_ddr0/axid-read,axi_mask=0xMMMM,axi_id=0xDDDD/ cmd
+ perf stat -a -e imx8_ddr0/axid-write,axi_mask=0xMMMM,axi_id=0xDDDD/ cmd
+
+ .. note::
+
+ axi_mask is inverted in userspace(i.e. set bits are bits to mask), and
+ it will be reverted in driver automatically. so that the user can just specify
+ axi_id to monitor a specific id, rather than having to specify axi_mask.
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ perf stat -a -e imx8_ddr0/axid-read,axi_id=0x12/ cmd, which will monitor ARID=0x12
+
+* With DDR_CAP_AXI_ID_FILTER_ENHANCED quirk(filter: 1, enhanced_filter: 1).
+ This is an extension to the DDR_CAP_AXI_ID_FILTER quirk which permits
+ counting the number of bytes (as opposed to the number of bursts) from DDR
+ read and write transactions concurrently with another set of data counters.

+Qualcomm Technologies Level-2 Cache Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
+=====================================================================
+
+This driver supports the L2 cache clusters found in Qualcomm Technologies
+Centriq SoCs. There are multiple physical L2 cache clusters, each with their
+own PMU. Each cluster has one or more CPUs associated with it.
+
+There is one logical L2 PMU exposed, which aggregates the results from
+the physical PMUs.
+
+The driver provides a description of its available events and configuration
+options in sysfs, see /sys/devices/l2cache_0.
+
+The "format" directory describes the format of the events.
+
+Events can be envisioned as a 2-dimensional array. Each column represents
+a group of events. There are 8 groups. Only one entry from each
+group can be in use at a time. If multiple events from the same group
+are specified, the conflicting events cannot be counted at the same time.
+
+Events are specified as 0xCCG, where CC is 2 hex digits specifying
+the code (array row) and G specifies the group (column) 0-7.
+
+In addition there is a cycle counter event specified by the value 0xFE
+which is outside the above scheme.
+
+The driver provides a "cpumask" sysfs attribute which contains a mask
+consisting of one CPU per cluster which will be used to handle all the PMU
+events on that cluster.
+
+Examples for use with perf::
+
+ perf stat -e l2cache_0/config=0x001/,l2cache_0/config=0x042/ -a sleep 1

+Cavium Coherent Processor Interconnect (CCPI2).
+
+The DMC has 8 interleaved channels and the L3C has 16 interleaved tiles.
+Events are counted for the default channel (i.e. channel 0) and prorated
+to the total number of channels/tiles.
+
+The DMC and L3C support up to 4 counters, while the CCPI2 supports up to 8
+counters. Counters are independently programmable to different events and
+can be started and stopped individually. None of the counters support an
+overflow interrupt. DMC and L3C counters are 32-bit and read every 2 seconds.
+The CCPI2 counters are 64-bit and assumed not to overflow in normal operation.
+
+PMU UNCORE (perf) driver:
+
+The thunderx2_pmu driver registers per-socket perf PMUs for the DMC and
+L3C devices. Each PMU can be used to count up to 4 (DMC/L3C) or up to 8
+(CCPI2) events simultaneously. The PMUs provide a description of their
+available events and configuration options under sysfs, see
+/sys/devices/uncore_<l3c_S/dmc_S/ccpi2_S/>; S is the socket id.

+
+X-Gene SoC PMU consists of various independent system device PMUs such as
+L3 cache(s), I/O bridge(s), memory controller bridge(s) and memory
+controller(s). These PMU devices are loosely architected to follow the
+same model as the PMU for ARM cores. The PMUs share the same top level
+interrupt and status CSR region.
+
+PMU (perf) driver
+-----------------
+
+The xgene-pmu driver registers several perf PMU drivers. Each of the perf
+driver provides description of its available events and configuration options
+in sysfs, see /sys/devices/<l3cX/iobX/mcbX/mcX>/.
+
+The "format" directory describes format of the config (event ID),
+config1 (agent ID) fields of the perf_event_attr structure. The "events"
+directory provides configuration templates for all supported event types that
+can be used with perf tool. For example, "l3c0/bank-fifo-full/" is an
+equivalent of "l3c0/config=0x0b/".
+
+Most of the SoC PMU has a specific list of agent ID used for monitoring
+performance of a specific datapath. For example, agents of a L3 cache can be
+a specific CPU or an I/O bridge. Each PMU has a set of 2 registers capable of
+masking the agents from which the request come from. If the bit with
+the bit number corresponding to the agent is set, the event is counted only if
+it is caused by a request from that agent. Each agent ID bit is inversely mapped
+to a corresponding bit in "config1" field. By default, the event will be
+counted for all agent requests (config1 = 0x0). For all the supported agents of
+each PMU, please refer to APM X-Gene User Manual.
+
+Each perf driver also provides a "cpumask" sysfs attribute, which contains a
+single CPU ID of the processor which will be used to handle all the PMU events.
+
+Example for perf tool use::
+
+ / # perf list | grep -e l3c -e iob -e mcb -e mc
+ l3c0/ackq-full/ [Kernel PMU event]
+ <...>
+ mcb1/mcb-csw-stall/ [Kernel PMU event]

+
+ / # perf stat -a -e l3c0/read-miss,config1=0xfffffffffffffffe/ sleep 1
+
+The driver does not support sampling, therefore "perf record" will
+not work. Per-task (without "-a") perf sessions are not supported.
