+Alibaba's T-Head SoC Uncore Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
+=============================================================
+
+The Yitian 710, custom-built by Alibaba Group's chip development business,
+T-Head, implements uncore PMU for performance and functional debugging to
+facilitate system maintenance.
+
+DDR Sub-System Driveway (DRW) PMU Driver
+=========================================
+
+Yitian 710 employs eight DDR5/4 channels, four on each die. Each DDR5 channel
+is independent of others to service system memory requests. And one DDR5
+channel is split into two independent sub-channels. The DDR Sub-System Driveway
+implements separate PMUs for each sub-channel to monitor various performance
+metrics.
+
+The Driveway PMU devices are named as ali_drw_<sys_base_addr> with perf.
+For example, ali_drw_21000 and ali_drw_21080 are two PMU devices for two
+sub-channels of the same channel in die 0. And the PMU device of die 1 is
+prefixed with ali_drw_400XXXXX, e.g. ali_drw_40021000.
+
+Each sub-channel has 36 PMU counters in total, which is classified into
+four groups:
+
+- Group 0: PMU Cycle Counter. This group has one pair of counters
+ pmu_cycle_cnt_low and pmu_cycle_cnt_high, that is used as the cycle count
+ based on DDRC core clock.
+
+- Group 1: PMU Bandwidth Counters. This group has 8 counters that are used
+ to count the total access number of either the eight bank groups in a
+ selected rank, or four ranks separately in the first 4 counters. The base
+ transfer unit is 64B.
+
+- Group 2: PMU Retry Counters. This group has 10 counters, that intend to
+ count the total retry number of each type of uncorrectable error.
+
+- Group 3: PMU Common Counters. This group has 16 counters, that are used
+ to count the common events.
+
+For now, the Driveway PMU driver only uses counters in group 0 and group 3.
+
+The DDR Controller (DDRCTL) and DDR PHY combine to create a complete solution
+for connecting an SoC application bus to DDR memory devices. The DDRCTL
+receives transactions Host Interface (HIF) which is custom-defined by Synopsys.
+These transactions are queued internally and scheduled for access while
+satisfying the SDRAM protocol timing requirements, transaction priorities, and
+dependencies between the transactions. The DDRCTL in turn issues commands on
+the DDR PHY Interface (DFI) to the PHY module, which launches and captures data
+to and from the SDRAM. The driveway PMUs have hardware logic to gather
+statistics and performance logging signals on HIF, DFI, etc.
+
+By counting the READ, WRITE and RMW commands sent to the DDRC through the HIF
+interface, we could calculate the bandwidth. Example usage of counting memory
+data bandwidth::
+
+ perf stat \
+ -e ali_drw_21000/hif_wr/ \
+ -e ali_drw_21000/hif_rd/ \
+ -e ali_drw_21000/hif_rmw/ \

+ -e ali_drw_23080/cycle/ \
+ -e ali_drw_25000/hif_wr/ \
+ -e ali_drw_25000/hif_rd/ \
+ -e ali_drw_25000/hif_rmw/ \
+ -e ali_drw_25000/cycle/ \
+ -e ali_drw_25080/hif_wr/ \
+ -e ali_drw_25080/hif_rd/ \
+ -e ali_drw_25080/hif_rmw/ \
+ -e ali_drw_25080/cycle/ \
+ -e ali_drw_27000/hif_wr/ \
+ -e ali_drw_27000/hif_rd/ \
+ -e ali_drw_27000/hif_rmw/ \
+ -e ali_drw_27000/cycle/ \
+ -e ali_drw_27080/hif_wr/ \
+ -e ali_drw_27080/hif_rd/ \
+ -e ali_drw_27080/hif_rmw/ \
+ -e ali_drw_27080/cycle/ -- sleep 10
+
+The average DRAM bandwidth can be calculated as follows:
+
+- Read Bandwidth = perf_hif_rd * DDRC_WIDTH * DDRC_Freq / DDRC_Cycle
+- Write Bandwidth = (perf_hif_wr + perf_hif_rmw) * DDRC_WIDTH * DDRC_Freq / DDRC_Cycle
+
+Here, DDRC_WIDTH = 64 bytes.
+
+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.

+==========================
+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".

+
+e.g usage::

+HiSilicon PCIe Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
+================================================
+
+On Hip09, HiSilicon PCIe Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) could monitor
+bandwidth, latency, bus utilization and buffer occupancy data of PCIe.
+
+Each PCIe Core has a PMU to monitor multi Root Ports of this PCIe Core and
+all Endpoints downstream these Root Ports.
+
+
+HiSilicon PCIe PMU driver
+=========================
+
+The PCIe PMU driver registers a perf PMU with the name of its sicl-id and PCIe
+Core id.::
+
+ /sys/bus/event_source/hisi_pcie<sicl>_core<core>
+
+PMU driver provides description of available events and filter options in sysfs,
+see /sys/bus/event_source/devices/hisi_pcie<sicl>_core<core>.
+
+The "format" directory describes all formats of the config (events) and config1
+(filter options) fields of the perf_event_attr structure. The "events" directory
+describes all documented events shown in perf list.
+
+The "identifier" sysfs file allows users to identify the version of the
+PMU hardware device.
+
+The "bus" sysfs file allows users to get the bus number of Root Ports
+monitored by PMU.
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf list
+ hisi_pcie0_core0/rx_mwr_latency/ [kernel PMU event]
+ hisi_pcie0_core0/rx_mwr_cnt/ [kernel PMU event]
+ ------------------------------------------
+
+ $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_core0/rx_mwr_latency/
+ $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_core0/rx_mwr_cnt/
+ $# perf stat -g -e hisi_pcie0_core0/rx_mwr_latency/ -e hisi_pcie0_core0/rx_mwr_cnt/
+
+The current driver does not support sampling. So "perf record" is unsupported.
+Also attach to a task is unsupported for PCIe PMU.
+
+Filter options
+--------------
+
+1. Target filter
+PMU could only monitor the performance of traffic downstream target Root Ports
+or downstream target Endpoint. PCIe PMU driver support "port" and "bdf"
+interfaces for users, and these two interfaces aren't supported at the same
+time.
+
+-port
+"port" filter can be used in all PCIe PMU events, target Root Port can be
+selected by configuring the 16-bits-bitmap "port". 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". Counter only counts the bandwidth of message
+requested by target Endpoint.
+
+For example, "bdf=0x3900" means BDF of target Endpoint is 0000:39:00.0.
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_core0/rx_mrd_flux,bdf=0x3900/ sleep 5
+
+2. Trigger filter
+Event statistics start when the first time TLP length is greater/smaller
+than trigger condition. You can set the trigger condition by writing "trig_len",
+and set the trigger mode by writing "trig_mode". This filter can only be used
+in bandwidth events.
+
+For example, "trig_len=4" means trigger condition is 2^4 DW, "trig_mode=0"
+means statistics start when TLP length > trigger condition, "trig_mode=1"
+means start when TLP length < condition.
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_core0/rx_mrd_flux,trig_len=0x4,trig_mode=1/ sleep 5
+
+3. Threshold filter
+Counter counts when TLP length within the specified range. You can set the
+threshold by writing "thr_len", and set the threshold mode by writing
+"thr_mode". This filter can only be used in bandwidth events.
+
+For example, "thr_len=4" means threshold is 2^4 DW, "thr_mode=0" means
+counter counts when TLP length >= threshold, and "thr_mode=1" means counts
+when TLP length < threshold.
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_core0/rx_mrd_flux,thr_len=0x4,thr_mode=1/ sleep 5

+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
+
+For HiSilicon uncore PMU v2 whose identifier is 0x30, the topology is the same
+as PMU v1, but some new functions are added to the hardware.
+
+(a) L3C PMU supports filtering by core/thread within the cluster which can be
+specified as a bitmap::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e hisi_sccl3_l3c0/config=0x02,tt_core=0x3/ sleep 5
+
+This will only count the operations from core/thread 0 and 1 in this cluster.
+
+(b) Tracetag allow the user to chose to count only read, write or atomic
+operations via the tt_req parameeter in perf. The default value counts all
+operations. tt_req is 3bits, 3'b100 represents read operations, 3'b101
+represents write operations, 3'b110 represents atomic store operations and
+3'b111 represents atomic non-store operations, other values are reserved::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e hisi_sccl3_l3c0/config=0x02,tt_req=0x4/ sleep 5
+
+This will only count the read operations in this cluster.
+
+(c) Datasrc allows the user to check where the data comes from. It is 5 bits.
+Some important codes are as follows:
+5'b00001: comes from L3C in this die;
+5'b01000: comes from L3C in the cross-die;
+5'b01001: comes from L3C which is in another socket;
+5'b01110: comes from the local DDR;
+5'b01111: comes from the cross-die DDR;
+5'b10000: comes from cross-socket DDR;
+etc, it is mainly helpful to find that the data source is nearest from the CPU
+cores. If datasrc_cfg is used in the multi-chips, the datasrc_skt shall be
+configured in perf command::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e hisi_sccl3_l3c0/config=0xb9,datasrc_cfg=0xE/,
+ hisi_sccl3_l3c0/config=0xb9,datasrc_cfg=0xF/ sleep 5
+
+(d)Some HiSilicon SoCs encapsulate multiple CPU and IO dies. Each CPU die
+contains several Compute Clusters (CCLs). The I/O dies are called Super I/O
+clusters (SICL) containing multiple I/O clusters (ICLs). Each CCL/ICL in the
+SoC has a unique ID. Each ID is 11bits, include a 6-bit SCCL-ID and 5-bit
+CCL/ICL-ID. For I/O die, the ICL-ID is followed by:
+5'b00000: I/O_MGMT_ICL;
+5'b00001: Network_ICL;
+5'b00011: HAC_ICL;
+5'b10000: PCIe_ICL;
+
+Users could configure IDs to count data come from specific CCL/ICL, by setting
+srcid_cmd & srcid_msk, and data desitined for specific CCL/ICL by setting
+tgtid_cmd & tgtid_msk. A set bit in srcid_msk/tgtid_msk means the PMU will not
+check the bit when matching against the srcid_cmd/tgtid_cmd.
+
+If all of these options are disabled, it can works by the default value that
+doesn't distinguish the filter condition and ID information and will return
+the total counter values in the PMU counters.
+
+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.

+On Hip09, each SICL(Super I/O cluster) has one PMU device.
+
+HNS3 PMU supports collection of performance statistics such as bandwidth,
+latency, packet rate and interrupt rate.
+
+Each HNS3 PMU supports 8 hardware events.
+
+HNS3 PMU driver
+===============
+
+The HNS3 PMU driver registers a perf PMU with the name of its sicl id.::
+
+ /sys/devices/hns3_pmu_sicl_<sicl_id>
+
+PMU driver provides description of available events, filter modes, format,
+identifier and cpumask in sysfs.
+
+The "events" directory describes the event code of all supported events
+shown in perf list.
+
+The "filtermode" directory describes the supported filter modes of each
+event.
+
+The "format" directory describes all formats of the config (events) and
+config1 (filter options) fields of the perf_event_attr structure.
+
+The "identifier" file shows version of PMU hardware device.
+
+The "bdf_min" and "bdf_max" files show the supported bdf range of each
+pmu device.
+
+The "hw_clk_freq" file shows the hardware clock frequency of each pmu
+device.
+
+Example usage of checking event code and subevent code::
+
+ $# cat /sys/devices/hns3_pmu_sicl_0/events/dly_tx_normal_to_mac_time
+ config=0x00204
+ $# cat /sys/devices/hns3_pmu_sicl_0/events/dly_tx_normal_to_mac_packet_num
+ config=0x10204
+
+Each performance statistic has a pair of events to get two values to
+calculate real performance data in userspace.
+
+The bits 0~15 of config (here 0x0204) are the true hardware event code. If
+two events have same value of bits 0~15 of config, that means they are
+event pair. And the bit 16 of config indicates getting counter 0 or
+counter 1 of hardware event.
+
+After getting two values of event pair in usersapce, the formula of
+computation to calculate real performance data is:::
+
+ counter 0 / counter 1
+
+Example usage of checking supported filter mode::
+
+ $# cat /sys/devices/hns3_pmu_sicl_0/filtermode/bw_ssu_rpu_byte_num
+ filter mode supported: global/port/port-tc/func/func-queue/
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf list
+ hns3_pmu_sicl_0/bw_ssu_rpu_byte_num/ [kernel PMU event]
+ hns3_pmu_sicl_0/bw_ssu_rpu_time/ [kernel PMU event]
+ ------------------------------------------
+
+ $# perf stat -g -e hns3_pmu_sicl_0/bw_ssu_rpu_byte_num,global=1/ -e hns3_pmu_sicl_0/bw_ssu_rpu_time,global=1/ -I 1000
+ or
+ $# perf stat -g -e hns3_pmu_sicl_0/config=0x00002,global=1/ -e hns3_pmu_sicl_0/config=0x10002,global=1/ -I 1000
+
+
+Filter modes
+--------------
+
+1. global mode
+PMU collect performance statistics for all HNS3 PCIe functions of IO DIE.
+Set the "global" filter option to 1 will enable this mode.
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e hns3_pmu_sicl_0/config=0x1020F,global=1/ -I 1000
+
+2. port mode
+PMU collect performance statistic of one whole physical port. The port id
+is same as mac id. The "tc" filter option must be set to 0xF in this mode,
+here tc stands for traffic class.
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e hns3_pmu_sicl_0/config=0x1020F,port=0,tc=0xF/ -I 1000
+
+3. port-tc mode
+PMU collect performance statistic of one tc of physical port. The port id
+is same as mac id. The "tc" filter option must be set to 0 ~ 7 in this
+mode.
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e hns3_pmu_sicl_0/config=0x1020F,port=0,tc=0/ -I 1000
+
+4. func mode
+PMU collect performance statistic of one PF/VF. The function id is BDF of
+PF/VF, its conversion formula::
+
+ func = (bus << 8) + (device << 3) + (function)
+
+for example:
+ BDF func
+ 35:00.0 0x3500
+ 35:00.1 0x3501
+ 35:01.0 0x3508
+
+In this mode, the "queue" filter option must be set to 0xFFFF.
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e hns3_pmu_sicl_0/config=0x1020F,bdf=0x3500,queue=0xFFFF/ -I 1000
+
+5. func-queue mode
+PMU collect performance statistic of one queue of PF/VF. The function id
+is BDF of PF/VF, the "queue" filter option must be set to the exact queue
+id of function.
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e hns3_pmu_sicl_0/config=0x1020F,bdf=0x3500,queue=0/ -I 1000
+
+6. func-intr mode
+PMU collect performance statistic of one interrupt of PF/VF. The function
+id is BDF of PF/VF, the "intr" filter option must be set to the exact
+interrupt id of function.
+Example usage of perf::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e hns3_pmu_sicl_0/config=0x00301,bdf=0x3500,intr=0/ -I 1000

+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 programmed 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
+
+ perf stat -e l2cache_0/config=0xfe/ -C 2 sleep 1
+
+The driver does not support sampling, therefore "perf record" will
+not work. Per-task perf sessions are not supported.

+===========================================================================
+
+This driver supports the L3 cache PMUs found in Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies
+Centriq SoCs. The L3 cache on these SOCs is composed of multiple slices, shared
+by all cores within a socket. Each slice is exposed as a separate uncore perf
+PMU with device name l3cache_<socket>_<instance>. User space is responsible
+for aggregating across slices.
+
+The driver provides a description of its available events and configuration

+the driver also exposes a "cpumask" sysfs attribute which contains a mask
+consisting of one CPU per socket which will be used to handle all the PMU

+
+The hardware implements 32bit event counters and has a flat 8bit event space
+exposed via the "event" format attribute. In addition to the 32bit physical
+counters the driver supports virtual 64bit hardware counters by using hardware
+counter chaining. This feature is exposed via the "lc" (long counter) format

+
+ perf stat -e l3cache_0_0/read-miss,lc/

+Cavium ThunderX2 SoC Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU UNCORE)
+=============================================================
+
+The ThunderX2 SoC PMU consists of independent, system-wide, per-socket
+PMUs such as the Level 3 Cache (L3C), DDR4 Memory Controller (DMC) and
+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.
+
+The driver does not support sampling, therefore "perf record" will not
+work. Per-task perf sessions are also not supported.

+================================================
+APM X-Gene SoC Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
+================================================
+
+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/,mcb1/csw-write-request/ sleep 1
+
+ / # 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.
