+================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This file documents the driver for the Starfive Camera Subsystem found on
+Starfive JH7110 SoC. The driver is located under drivers/staging/media/starfive/
+camss.
+
+The driver implements V4L2, Media controller and v4l2_subdev interfaces. Camera
+sensor using V4L2 subdev interface in the kernel is supported.
+
+The driver has been successfully used on the Gstreamer 1.18.5 with v4l2src
+plugin.

+- stf_isp: is responsible for all the isp operations, outputs YUV frames.
+- cdns_csi2rx: a CSI-2 bridge supporting up to 4 CSI lanes in input, and 4

+=======
+
+The number of candidate pages for KSM is dynamic. It can be often observed

+
+The scan time advisor changes the ``pages_to_scan`` parameter based on the
+observed scan times. The possible values for the ``pages_to_scan`` parameter is
+limited by the ``advisor_max_cpu`` parameter. In addition there is also the
+``advisor_target_scan_time`` parameter. This parameter sets the target time to
+scan all the KSM candidate pages. The parameter ``advisor_target_scan_time``
+decides how aggressive the scan time advisor scans candidate pages. Lower
+values make the scan time advisor to scan more aggresively. This is the most

the two is using hugepages just because of the fact the TLB miss is

+Modern kernels support "multi-size THP" (mTHP), which introduces the
+ability to allocate memory in blocks that are bigger than a base page
+but smaller than traditional PMD-size (as described above), in
+increments of a power-of-2 number of pages. mTHP can back anonymous
+memory (for example 16K, 32K, 64K, etc). These THPs continue to be

+factor of e.g. 4, 8, 16, etc), but latency spikes are much less
+prominent because the size of each page isn't as huge as the PMD-sized
+variant and there is less memory to clear in each page fault. Some
+architectures also employ TLB compression mechanisms to squeeze more
+entries in when a set of PTEs are virtually and physically contiguous
+and approporiately aligned. In this case, TLB misses will occur less
+often.

+DesignWare Cores (DWC) PCIe PMU
+===============================
+
+The PMU is a PCIe configuration space register block provided by each PCIe Root
+Port in a Vendor-Specific Extended Capability named RAS D.E.S (Debug, Error
+injection, and Statistics).
+
+As the name indicates, the RAS DES capability supports system level
+debugging, AER error injection, and collection of statistics. To facilitate
+collection of statistics, Synopsys DesignWare Cores PCIe controller
+provides the following two features:
+
+- one 64-bit counter for Time Based Analysis (RX/TX data throughput and
+ time spent in each low-power LTSSM state) and
+- one 32-bit counter for Event Counting (error and non-error events for
+ a specified lane)
+
+Note: There is no interrupt for counter overflow.
+
+Time Based Analysis
+-------------------
+
+Using this feature you can obtain information regarding RX/TX data
+throughput and time spent in each low-power LTSSM state by the controller.
+The PMU measures data in two categories:
+
+- Group#0: Percentage of time the controller stays in LTSSM states.
+- Group#1: Amount of data processed (Units of 16 bytes).
+
+Lane Event counters
+-------------------
+
+Using this feature you can obtain Error and Non-Error information in
+specific lane by the controller. The PMU event is selected by all of:
+
+- Group i
+- Event j within the Group i
+- Lane k
+
+Some of the events only exist for specific configurations.
+
+DesignWare Cores (DWC) PCIe PMU Driver
+=======================================
+
+This driver adds PMU devices for each PCIe Root Port named based on the BDF of
+the Root Port. For example,
+
+ 30:03.0 PCI bridge: Device 1ded:8000 (rev 01)
+
+the PMU device name for this Root Port is dwc_rootport_3018.
+
+The DWC PCIe PMU driver registers a perf PMU driver, which provides
+description of available events and configuration options in sysfs, see
+/sys/bus/event_source/devices/dwc_rootport_{bdf}.
+
+The "format" directory describes format of the config fields of the
+perf_event_attr structure. The "events" directory provides configuration
+templates for all documented events. For example,
+"Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload" is an equivalent of "eventid=0x22,type=0x1".
+
+The "perf list" command shall list the available events from sysfs, e.g.::
+
+ $# perf list | grep dwc_rootport
+ <...>
+ dwc_rootport_3018/Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload/ [Kernel PMU event]
+ <...>
+ dwc_rootport_3018/rx_memory_read,lane=?/ [Kernel PMU event]
+
+Time Based Analysis Event Usage
+-------------------------------
+
+Example usage of counting PCIe RX TLP data payload (Units of bytes)::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e dwc_rootport_3018/Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload/
+
+The average RX/TX bandwidth can be calculated using the following formula:
+
+ PCIe RX Bandwidth = Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload / Measure_Time_Window
+ PCIe TX Bandwidth = Tx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload / Measure_Time_Window
+
+Lane Event Usage
+-------------------------------
+
+Each lane has the same event set and to avoid generating a list of hundreds
+of events, the user need to specify the lane ID explicitly, e.g.::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e dwc_rootport_3018/rx_memory_read,lane=4/
+
+The driver does not support sampling, therefore "perf record" will not
+work. Per-task (without "-a") perf sessions are not supported.
