Each TAD provides eight 64-bit counters for monitoring
cache behavior.The driver always configures the same counter for
all the TADs. 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.
Each supported counter's event and formatting information is exposed
to sysfs at /sys/devices/tad/. Use perf tool stat command to measure
the pmu events. For instance:
perf stat -e tad_hit_ltg,tad_hit_dtg <workload>

Odyssey DRAM Subsystem supports eight counters for monitoring performance
and software can program those counters to monitor any of the defined
performance events. Supported performance events include those counted
at the interface between the DDR controller and the PHY, interface between
the DDR Controller and the CHI interconnect, or within the DDR Controller.
Additionally DSS also supports two fixed performance event counters, one
for ddr reads and the other for ddr writes.

PCI Express Interface PMU includes various performance counters
to monitor the data that is transmitted over the PCIe link. The
counters track various 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 supported.
The performance counters are 64 bits wide.
For instance,
perf stat -e ib_tlp_pr <workload>
tracks the inbound posted TLPs for the workload.

The Arm NI-700 Network-on-Chip Interconnect has a relatively
straightforward design with a hierarchy of voltage, power, and clock
domains, where each clock domain then contains a number of interface
units and a PMU which can monitor events thereon. As such, it begets a
relatively straightforward driver to interface those PMUs with perf.
Even more so than with arm-cmn, users will require detailed knowledge of
the wider system topology in order to meaningfully analyse anything,
since the interconnect itself cannot know what lies beyond the boundary
of each inscrutably-numbered interface. Given that, for now they are
also expected to refer to the NI-700 documentation for the relevant
event IDs to provide as well. An identifier is implemented so we can
come back and add jevents if anyone really wants to.

Initial driver for PMU event counting on the Arm CMN-600 interconnect.
CMN sports an obnoxiously complex distributed PMU system as part of
its debug and trace features, which can do all manner of things like
sampling, cross-triggering and generating CoreSight trace. This driver
covers the PMU functionality, plus the relevant aspects of watchpoints
for simply counting matching flits.
