The user would end up effectively reserving one of +eight counters in every TAD to look across all TADs. +The occurrences of events are aggregated and presented to the user +at the end of running the workload. The driver does not provide a +way for the user to partition TADs so that different TADs are used for +different applications. + +The performance events reflect various internal or interface activities. +By combining the values from multiple performance counters, cache +performance can be measured in terms such as: cache miss rate, cache +allocations, interface retry rate, internal resource occupancy, etc. + +The PMU driver exposes the available events and format options under sysfs:: + + /sys/bus/event_source/devices/tad/events/ + /sys/bus/event_source/devices/tad/format/ + +Examples:: + + $ perf list | grep tad + tad/tad_alloc_any/ [Kernel PMU event] + tad/tad_alloc_dtg/ [Kernel PMU event] + tad/tad_alloc_ltg/ [Kernel PMU event] + tad/tad_hit_any/ [Kernel PMU event] + tad/tad_hit_dtg/ [Kernel PMU event] + tad/tad_hit_ltg/ [Kernel PMU event] + tad/tad_req_msh_in_exlmn/ [Kernel PMU event] + tad/tad_tag_rd/ [Kernel PMU event] + tad/tad_tot_cycle/ [Kernel PMU event] + + $ perf stat -e tad_alloc_dtg,tad_alloc_ltg,tad_alloc_any,tad_hit_dtg,tad_hit_ltg,tad_hit_any,tad_tag_rd <workload> |
