Hi,

PCIe PMU Root Complex Integrated End Point(RCiEP) device is supported
to sample bandwidth, latency, buffer occupation etc.

Each PMU RCiEP device monitors multiple Root Ports, and each RCiEP is
registered as a PMU in /sys/bus/event_source/devices, so users can
select target PMU, and use filter to do further sets.

Filtering options contains:
event     - select the event.
port      - select target Root Ports. Information of Root Ports are
            shown under sysfs.
bdf       - select requester_id of target EP device.
trig_len  - set trigger condition for starting event statistics.
trig_mode - set trigger mode. 0 means starting to statistic when bigger
            than trigger condition, and 1 means smaller.
thr_len   - set threshold for statistics.
thr_mode  - set threshold mode. 0 means count when bigger than threshold,
            and 1 means smaller.

I think this is getting there now, thanks for sticking with it. Just a
couple of comments below..

+
+	return counters <= HISI_PCIE_MAX_COUNTERS;
+}

Given that this function doesn't look at the event numbers, doesn't this
over-provision the counter registers? For example, if I create a group
containing 4 of the same event, then we'll allocate four counters but only
use one. Similarly, if I create a group containing two events, one for the
normal counter and one for the extended counter, then we'll again allocate
two counters instead of one.

Have I misunderstood?

+

Please remove this message, as it's triggerable from userspace.
