ARM Cache Coherent Network

==========================
|
|
|
|
CCN-504 is a ring-bus interconnect consisting of 11 crosspoints
|
|
(XPs), with each crosspoint supporting up to two device ports,
|
|
so nodes (devices) 0 and 1 are connected to crosspoint 0,
|
|
nodes 2 and 3 to crosspoint 1 etc.
|
|
|
|
PMU (perf) driver
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The CCN driver registers a perf PMU driver, which provides
|
|
description of available events and configuration options
|
|
in sysfs, see /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ccn*.
|
|
|
|
The "format" directory describes format of the config, config1
|
|
and config2 fields of the perf_event_attr structure. The "events"
|
|
directory provides configuration templates for all documented
|
|
events, that can be used with perf tool. For example "xp_valid_flit"
|
|
is an equivalent of "type=0x8,event=0x4". Other parameters must be
|
|
explicitly specified.
|
|
|
|
For events originating from device, "node" defines its index.
|
|
|
|
Crosspoint PMU events require "xp" (index), "bus" (bus number)
|
|
and "vc" (virtual channel ID).
|
|
|
|
Crosspoint watchpoint-based events (special "event" value 0xfe)
|
|
require "xp" and "vc" as above plus "port" (device port index),
|
|
"dir" (transmit/receive direction), comparator values ("cmp_l"
|
|
and "cmp_h") and "mask", being index of the comparator mask.
|
|
|
|
Masks are defined separately from the event description
|
|
(due to limited number of the config values) in the "cmp_mask"
|
|
directory, with first 8 configurable by user and additional
|
|
4 hardcoded for the most frequent use cases.
|
|
|
|
Cycle counter is described by a "type" value 0xff and does
|
|
not require any other settings.
|
|
|
|
The driver also provides a "cpumask" sysfs attribute, which contains
|
|
a single CPU ID, of the processor which will be used to handle all
|
|
the CCN PMU events. It is recommended that the user space tools
|
|
request the events on this processor (if not, the perf_event->cpu value
|
|
will be overwritten anyway). In case of this processor being offlined,
|
|
the events are migrated to another one and the attribute is updated.
|
|
|
|
Example of perf tool use::
|
|
|
|
/ # perf list | grep ccn
|
|
ccn/cycles/ [Kernel PMU event]
|
|
<...>
|
|
ccn/xp_valid_flit,xp=?,port=?,vc=?,dir=?/ [Kernel PMU event]
|
|
<...>
|
|
|
|
/ # perf stat -a -e ccn/cycles/,ccn/xp_valid_flit,xp=1,port=0,vc=1,dir=1/ \
|
|
sleep 1
|
|
|
|
The driver does not support sampling, therefore "perf record" will
|
|
not work. Per-task (without "-a") perf sessions are not supported.
