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 + +The current driver does not support sampling.
