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. diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/perf/arm_dsu_pmu.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/perf/arm_dsu_pmu.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..7fd34db75 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/perf/arm_dsu_pmu.rst @@ -0,0 +1,29 @@ +================================== +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.
