STM32 DDR Performance Monitor (DDRPERFM)
========================================
The DDRPERFM is the DDR Performance Monitor embedded in STM32MP1 SOC.
See STM32MP157 reference manual RM0436 to get a description of this peripheral.
The five following counters are supported by stm32-ddr-pmu driver:
cnt0: read operations counters (read_cnt)
cnt1: write operations counters (write_cnt)
cnt2: active state counters (activate_cnt)
cnt3: idle state counters (idle_cnt)
tcnt: time count, present for all sets (time_cnt)
The stm32-ddr-pmu driver relies on the perf PMU framework to expose the
counters via sysfs:
$ ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ddrperfm/events
activate_cnt idle_cnt read_cnt time_cnt write_cnt
The perf PMU framework is usually invoked via the 'perf stat' tool.
The DDRPERFM is a system monitor that cannot isolate the traffic coming from a
given thread or CPU, that is why stm32-ddr-pmu driver rejects any 'perf stat'
call that does not request a system-wide collection: the '-a, --all-cpus'
option is mandatory!
Example:
$ perf stat -e ddrperfm/read_cnt/,ddrperfm/time_cnt/ -a sleep 20
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
342541560 ddrperfm/read_cnt/
10660011400 ddrperfm/time_cnt/
20.021068551 seconds time elapsed
The driver also exposes a 'bandwidth' attribute that can be used to display
the read/write/total bandwidth achieved during the last 'perf stat' execution.
$ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ddrperfm/bandwidth
Read = 403, Write = 239, Read & Write = 642 (MB/s)
