Marvell Odyssey PEM Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU UNCORE)

The PCI Express Interface Units(PEM) are associated with a corresponding monitoring unit. This includes performance counters to track various characteristics of the data that is transmitted over the PCIe link.

The counters track inbound and outbound transactions which includes separate counters for posted/non-posted/completion TLPs. Also, inbound and outbound memory read requests along with their latencies can also be monitored. Address Translation Services(ATS)events such as ATS Translation, ATS Page Request, ATS Invalidation along with their corresponding latencies are also tracked.

There are separate 64 bit counters to measure posted/non-posted/completion tlps in inbound and outbound transactions. ATS events are measured by different counters.

The PMU driver exposes the available events and format options under sysfs, /sys/bus/event_source/devices/mrvl_pcie_rc_pmu_<>/events/ /sys/bus/event_source/devices/mrvl_pcie_rc_pmu_<>/format/
