linux-toradex.git/Documentation/arm/CCN.txt, branch v4.9.76 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules bus: arm-ccn: Correct required arguments for XP PMU events 2016-08-17T10:42:40+00:00 Pawel Moll pawel.moll@arm.com 2016-08-11T10:56:28+00:00 90d11e267a32a25d2cb69127174a96b9e518395e XP can provide events from two sources: watchpoints, observing traffic on device ports and PMU looking at internal buses. Unfortunately the sysfs definition of the PMU events was requiring port number (instead of bus number) and direction (the buses are unidirectional), as these fields were shared with the watchpoint event. Although it does not introduce a major problem (port can be used as bus alias and direction is simply ignored for XP PMU events), it's better to fix it now, before external tools start depending on this behaviour.

XP can provide events from two sources: watchpoints, observing traffic
on device ports and PMU looking at internal buses.

Unfortunately the sysfs definition of the PMU events was requiring
port number (instead of bus number) and direction (the buses are
unidirectional), as these fields were shared with the watchpoint event.

Although it does not introduce a major problem (port can be used as
bus alias and direction is simply ignored for XP PMU events), it's
better to fix it now, before external tools start depending on this
behaviour.

Since 688d4dfcdd624192cbf03c08402e444d1d11f294 "perf tools: Support
parsing parameterized events" the perf userspace tools understands
"argument=?" syntax in the events file, making sure that required
arguments are provided by the user and not defaulting to 0, causing
confusion.

This patch adds the required arguments lists for CCN events.

bus: arm-ccn: cpumask attribute 2015-05-01T16:51:01+00:00 Pawel Moll pawel.moll@arm.com 2015-04-16T11:14:35+00:00 ffa415245b8666c44ddfb5ba1bca5b940828ecdd This patch adds a "cpumask" attribute to CCN's event_source class sysfs directory. Perf user tool uses it to restrict events to the processor(s) enumerated in this mask. This patch provides a single CPU mask, making it possible to run "-a" perf session (previously it would request the same CCN event, for example cycle counter, on each available core and most likely fail). Initially the mask is set to the CPU that happened to probe the driver, but it will be changed when it is hot-un-plugged (active events are migrated to another CPU then). Example: Performance counter stats for 'system wide': CPU0 2968148 cycles CPU1 2236736 cycles CPU2 1797968 cycles CPU3 1831715 cycles CPU1 1201850868 ccn/cycles/ 1.001241383 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@arm.com>

This patch provides a single CPU mask, making it possible to run "-a"

Initially the mask is set to the CPU that happened to probe the driver,

migrated to another CPU then).

Example:

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
