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 \
