Multi ports can be selected +for AP-layer-events, and only one port can be selected for TL/DL-layer-events. + +For example, if target Root Port is 0000:00:00.0 (x8 lanes), bit0 of bitmap +should be set, port=0x1; if target Root Port is 0000:00:04.0 (x4 lanes), +bit8 is set, port=0x100; if these two Root Ports are both monitored, port=0x101. + +Example usage of perf:: + + $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_core0/rx_mwr_latency,port=0x1/ sleep 5 + +-bdf + +"bdf" filter can only be used in bandwidth events, target Endpoint is selected +by configuring BDF to "bdf".
