I expect to expand on this in future versions of this patch set.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +====================================== +CXL Performance Monitoring Unit (CPMU) +====================================== + +The CXL rev 3.0 specification provides a definition of CXL Performance +Monitoring Unit in section 13.2: Performance Monitoring. + +CXL components (e.g. Root Port, Switch Upstream Port, End Point) may have +any number of CPMU instances. CPMU capabilities are fully discoverable from +the devices. The specification provides event definitions for all CXL protocol +message types and a set of additional events for things commonly counted on +CXL devices (e.g. DRAM events). + +CPMU driver +=========== + +The CPMU driver registers a perf PMU with the name pmu_mem. on the CXL bus +representing the Yth CPMU for memX. + + /sys/bus/cxl/device/pmu_mem. + +The associated PMU is registered as + + /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/cxl_pmu_mem. + +In common with other CXL bus devices, the id has no specific meaning and the +relationship to specific CXL device should be established via the device parent +of the device on the CXL bus. + +PMU driver provides description of available events and filter options in sysfs. + +The "format" directory describes all formats of the config (event vendor id, +group id and mask) config1 (threshold, filter enables) and config2 (filter +parameters) fields of the perf_event_attr structure. The "events" directory +describes all documented events show in perf list. + +The events shown in perf list are the most fine grained events with a single +bit of the event mask set.
