+Synopsys DesignWare Cores (DWC) PCIe Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
+======================================================================
+
+DesignWare Cores (DWC) PCIe PMU
+===============================
+
+The PMU is a PCIe configuration space register block provided by each PCIe Root
+Port in a Vendor-Specific Extended Capability named RAS D.E.S (Debug, Error
+injection, and Statistics).
+
+As the name indicates, the RAS DES capability supports system level
+debugging, AER error injection, and collection of statistics. To facilitate
+collection of statistics, Synopsys DesignWare Cores PCIe controller
+provides the following two features:
+
+- one 64-bit counter for Time Based Analysis (RX/TX data throughput and
+ time spent in each low-power LTSSM state) and
+- one 32-bit counter for Event Counting (error and non-error events for
+ a specified lane)
+
+Note: There is no interrupt for counter overflow.
+
+Time Based Analysis
+-------------------
+
+Using this feature you can obtain information regarding RX/TX data
+throughput and time spent in each low-power LTSSM state by the controller.
+The PMU measures data in two categories:
+
+- Group#0: Percentage of time the controller stays in LTSSM states.
+- Group#1: Amount of data processed (Units of 16 bytes).
+
+Lane Event counters
+-------------------
+
+Using this feature you can obtain Error and Non-Error information in
+specific lane by the controller. The PMU event is selected by all of:
+
+- Group i
+- Event j within the Group i
+- Lane k
+
+Some of the events only exist for specific configurations.
+
+DesignWare Cores (DWC) PCIe PMU Driver
+=======================================
+
+This driver adds PMU devices for each PCIe Root Port named based on the BDF of
+the Root Port. For example,
+
+ 30:03.0 PCI bridge: Device 1ded:8000 (rev 01)
+
+the PMU device name for this Root Port is dwc_rootport_3018.
+
+The DWC PCIe PMU driver registers a perf PMU driver, which provides
+description of available events and configuration options in sysfs, see
+/sys/bus/event_source/devices/dwc_rootport_{bdf}.
+
+The "format" directory describes format of the config fields of the
+perf_event_attr structure. The "events" directory provides configuration
+templates for all documented events. For example,
+"Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload" is an equivalent of "eventid=0x22,type=0x1".
+
+The "perf list" command shall list the available events from sysfs, e.g.::
+
+ $# perf list | grep dwc_rootport
+ <...>
+ dwc_rootport_3018/Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload/ [Kernel PMU event]
+ <...>
+ dwc_rootport_3018/rx_memory_read,lane=?/ [Kernel PMU event]
+
+Time Based Analysis Event Usage
+-------------------------------
+
+Example usage of counting PCIe RX TLP data payload (Units of bytes)::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e dwc_rootport_3018/Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload/
+
+The average RX/TX bandwidth can be calculated using the following formula:
+
+ PCIe RX Bandwidth = Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload / Measure_Time_Window
+ PCIe TX Bandwidth = Tx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload / Measure_Time_Window
+
+Lane Event Usage
+-------------------------------
+
+Each lane has the same event set and to avoid generating a list of hundreds
+of events, the user need to specify the lane ID explicitly, e.g.::
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e dwc_rootport_3018/rx_memory_read,lane=4/
+
+The driver does not support sampling, therefore "perf record" will not
+work. Per-task (without "-a") perf sessions are not supported.

+Event Counting Threshold
+==========================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+FEAT_PMUv3_TH (Armv8.8) permits a PMU counter to increment only on
+events whose count meets a specified threshold condition. For example if
+threshold_compare is set to 2 ('Greater than or equal'), and the
+threshold is set to 2, then the PMU counter will now only increment by
+when an event would have previously incremented the PMU counter by 2 or
+more on a single processor cycle.
+
+To increment by 1 after passing the threshold condition instead of the
+number of events on that cycle, add the 'threshold_count' option to the
+commandline.
+
+How-to
+------
+
+These are the parameters for controlling the feature:
+
+.. list-table::
+ :header-rows: 1
+
+ * - Parameter
+ - Description
+ * - threshold
+ - Value to threshold the event by. A value of 0 means that
+ thresholding is disabled and the other parameters have no effect.
+ * - threshold_compare
+ - | Comparison function to use, with the following values supported:
+ |
+ | 0: Not-equal
+ | 1: Equals
+ | 2: Greater-than-or-equal
+ | 3: Less-than
+ * - threshold_count
+ - If this is set, count by 1 after passing the threshold condition
+ instead of the value of the event on this cycle.
+
+The threshold, threshold_compare and threshold_count values can be
+provided per event, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ perf stat -e stall_slot/threshold=2,threshold_compare=2/ \
+ -e dtlb_walk/threshold=10,threshold_compare=3,threshold_count/
+
+In this example the stall_slot event will count by 2 or more on every
+cycle where 2 or more stalls happen. And dtlb_walk will count by 1 on
+every cycle where the number of dtlb walks were less than 10.
+
+The maximum supported threshold value can be read from the caps of each
+PMU, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/armv8_pmuv3/caps/threshold_max
+
+ 0x000000ff
+
+If a value higher than this is given, then opening the event will result
+in an error. The highest possible maximum is 4095, as the config field
+for threshold is limited to 12 bits, and the Perf tool will refuse to
+parse higher values.
+
+If the PMU doesn't support FEAT_PMUv3_TH, then threshold_max will read
+0, and attempting to set a threshold value will also result in an error.
+threshold_max will also read as 0 on aarch32 guests, even if the host
+is running on hardware with the feature.

Introduction
============
-On x86, flags appearing in /proc/cpuinfo have an X86_FEATURE definition
-in arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h. If the kernel cares about a feature
-or KVM want to expose the feature to a KVM guest, it can and should have
-an X86_FEATURE_* defined. These flags represent hardware features as
-well as software features.
-
-If users want to know if a feature is available on a given system, they
-try to find the flag in /proc/cpuinfo. If a given flag is present, it
-means that the kernel supports it and is currently making it available.
-If such flag represents a hardware feature, it also means that the
-hardware supports it.
-
-If the expected flag does not appear in /proc/cpuinfo, things are murkier.
-Users need to find out the reason why the flag is missing and find the way
-how to enable it, which is not always easy. There are several factors that
-can explain missing flags: the expected feature failed to enable, the feature
-is missing in hardware, platform firmware did not enable it, the feature is
-disabled at build or run time, an old kernel is in use, or the kernel does
-not support the feature and thus has not enabled it. In general, /proc/cpuinfo
-shows features which the kernel supports. For a full list of CPUID flags
-which the CPU supports, use tools/arch/x86/kcpuid.
+The list of feature flags in /proc/cpuinfo is not complete and
+represents an ill-fated attempt from long time ago to put feature flags
+in an easy to find place for userspace.
+
+However, the amount of feature flags is growing by the CPU generation,
+leading to unparseable and unwieldy /proc/cpuinfo.
+
+What is more, those feature flags do not even need to be in that file
+because userspace doesn't care about them - glibc et al already use
+CPUID to find out what the target machine supports and what not.
+
+And even if it doesn't show a particular feature flag - although the CPU
+still does have support for the respective hardware functionality and
+said CPU supports CPUID faulting - userspace can simply probe for the
+feature and figure out if it is supported or not, regardless of whether
+it is being advertised somewhere.
+
+Furthermore, those flag strings become an ABI the moment they appear
+there and maintaining them forever when nothing even uses them is a lot
+of wasted effort.
+
+So, the current use of /proc/cpuinfo is to show features which the
+kernel has *enabled* and *supports*. As in: the CPUID feature flag is
+there, there's an additional setup which the kernel has done while
+booting and the functionality is ready to use. A perfect example for
+that is "user_shstk" where additional code enablement is present in the
+kernel to support shadow stack for user programs.
+
+So, if users want to know if a feature is available on a given system,
+they try to find the flag in /proc/cpuinfo. If a given flag is present,
+it means that
+
+* the kernel knows about the feature enough to have an X86_FEATURE bit
+
+* the kernel supports it and is currently making it available either to
+ userspace or some other part of the kernel
+
+* if the flag represents a hardware feature the hardware supports it.
+
+The absence of a flag in /proc/cpuinfo by itself means almost nothing to
+an end user.
+
+On the one hand, a feature like "vaes" might be fully available to user
+applications on a kernel that has not defined X86_FEATURE_VAES and thus
+there is no "vaes" in /proc/cpuinfo.
+
+On the other hand, a new kernel running on non-VAES hardware would also
+have no "vaes" in /proc/cpuinfo. There's no way for an application or
+user to tell the difference.
+
+The end result is that the flags field in /proc/cpuinfo is marginally
+useful for kernel debugging, but not really for anything else.
+Applications should instead use things like the glibc facilities for
+querying CPU support. Users should rely on tools like
+tools/arch/x86/kcpuid and cpuid(1).
+
+Regarding implementation, flags appearing in /proc/cpuinfo have an
+X86_FEATURE definition in arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h. These flags
+represent hardware features as well as software features.
+
+If the kernel cares about a feature or KVM want to expose the feature to
+a KVM guest, it should only then expose it to the guest when the guest
+needs to parse /proc/cpuinfo. Which, as mentioned above, is highly
+unlikely. KVM can synthesize the CPUID bit and the KVM guest can simply
+query CPUID and figure out what the hypervisor supports and what not. As
+already stated, /proc/cpuinfo is not a dumping ground for useless
+feature flags.
+

由于周期性任务的平均数在睡眠时会衰减,而在运行时其预期利用率会和睡眠前相同,
因此它们在再次运行后会面临(DVFS)的上涨。
为了缓解这个问题,(一个默认使能的编译选项)UTIL_EST驱动一个无限脉冲响应
(Infinite Impulse Response,IIR)的EWMA,“运行”值在出队时是最高的。
-另一个默认使能的编译选项UTIL_EST_FASTUP修改了IIR滤波器,使其允许立即增加,
-仅在利用率下降时衰减。
+UTIL_EST滤波使其在遇到更高值时立刻增加,而遇到低值时会缓慢衰减。
进一步,运行队列的(可运行任务的)利用率之和由下式计算:
