Documentation: perf: Add documentation for ThunderX2 PMU uncore driver
The SoC has PMU support in its L3 cache controller (L3C) and in the DDR4 Memory Controller (DMC). Signed-off-by: Ganapatrao Kulkarni <ganapatrao.kulkarni@cavium.com> [will: minor spelling and format fixes, dropped events list] Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

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) and DDR4 Memory Controller (DMC).
|
||||
|
||||
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. Counters are independently
|
||||
programmable and can be started and stopped individually. Each counter
|
||||
can be set to a different event. Counters are 32-bit and do not support
|
||||
an overflow interrupt; they are read every 2 seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
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 events
|
||||
simultaneously. The PMUs provide a description of their available events
|
||||
and configuration options under sysfs, see
|
||||
/sys/devices/uncore_<l3c_S/dmc_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.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
# perf stat -a -e uncore_dmc_0/cnt_cycles/ sleep 1
|
||||
|
||||
# perf stat -a -e \
|
||||
uncore_dmc_0/cnt_cycles/,\
|
||||
uncore_dmc_0/data_transfers/,\
|
||||
uncore_dmc_0/read_txns/,\
|
||||
uncore_dmc_0/write_txns/ sleep 1
|
||||
|
||||
# perf stat -a -e \
|
||||
uncore_l3c_0/read_request/,\
|
||||
uncore_l3c_0/read_hit/,\
|
||||
uncore_l3c_0/inv_request/,\
|
||||
uncore_l3c_0/inv_hit/ sleep 1
