Patchset adds performance stats reporting support for nvdimm. Added interface includes support for pmu register/unregister functions. A structure is added called nvdimm_pmu to be used for adding arch/platform specific data such as cpumask, nvdimm device pointer and pmu event functions like event_init/add/read/del. User could use the standard perf tool to access perf events exposed via pmu. Interface also defines supported event list, config fields for the event attributes and their corresponding bit values which are exported via sysfs. Patch 3 exposes IBM pseries platform nmem* device performance stats using this interface. Result from power9 pseries lpar with 2 nvdimm device: Ex: List all event by perf list command:# perf list nmem nmem0/cache_rh_cnt/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/cache_wh_cnt/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/cri_res_util/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/ctl_res_cnt/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/ctl_res_tm/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/fast_w_cnt/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/host_l_cnt/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/host_l_dur/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/host_s_cnt/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/host_s_dur/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/med_r_cnt/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/med_r_dur/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/med_w_cnt/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/med_w_dur/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/mem_life/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem0/poweron_secs/ [Kernel PMU event] ... nmem1/mem_life/ [Kernel PMU event] nmem1/poweron_secs/ [Kernel PMU event] Patch1: Introduces the nvdimm_pmu structure Patch2: Adds common interface to add arch/platform specific data includes nvdimm device pointer, pmu data along with pmu event functions. It also defines supported event list and adds attribute groups for format, events and cpumask. It also adds code for cpu hotplug support. Patch3: Add code in arch/powerpc/platform/pseries/papr_scm.c to expose nmem* pmu. It fills in the nvdimm_pmu structure with pmu name, capabilities, cpumask and event functions and then registers the pmu by adding callbacks to register_nvdimm_pmu. Patch4: Sysfs documentation patch Changelog --- Resend v5 -> v6 - No logic change, just a rebase to latest upstream and tested the patchset. - Link to the patchset Resend v5: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/11/15/3979 v5 -> Resend v5 - Resend the patchset - Link to the patchset v5: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/9/28/643 v4 -> v5: - Remove multiple variables defined in nvdimm_pmu structure include name and pmu functions(event_int/add/del/read) as they are just used to copy them again in pmu variable. Now we are directly doing this step in arch specific code as suggested by Dan Williams. - Remove attribute group field from nvdimm pmu structure and defined these attribute groups in common interface which includes format, event list along with cpumask as suggested by Dan Williams. Since we added static defination for attrbute groups needed in common interface, removes corresponding code from papr. - Add nvdimm pmu event list with event codes in the common interface. - Remove Acked-by/Reviewed-by/Tested-by tags as code is refactored to handle review comments from Dan.I don't think review comments should invalidate the Acked-by tags in this case. Nothing fundamentally changed in the approach, and I would like to have the perf ack before taking this through the nvdimm tree. Otherwise this looks good to me. Peter, might you have a chance to re-Ack this series, or any concerns about me retrieving those Acks from the previous postings?Reached Peter offline and he refreshed his Acked-by.There's still time for the tags from: "Madhavan Srinivasan" "Nageswara R Sastry" ...to be reapplied, but I'll go ahead with pushing this to Linux-next in the meantime.
Hi Dan/Peter,
Thanks for reviewing and taking the patchset.
Thanks,
Kajol Jain
