[PATCH v2 0/4] Add perf interface to expose nvdimm

From: Kajol Jain
Date: Mon Jun 14 2021 - 01:25:03 EST


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 supported events, cpumask
pmu event functions like event_init/add/read/del.
User could use the standard perf tool to access perf
events exposed via pmu.

Added implementation to expose IBM pseries platform nmem*
device performance stats using this interface.

Result from power9 pseries lpar with 2 nvdimm device:
command:# perf list nmem
nmem0/cchrhcnt/ [Kernel PMU event]
nmem0/cchwhcnt/ [Kernel PMU event]
nmem0/critrscu/ [Kernel PMU event]

Patch1:
Introduces the nvdimm_pmu structure
Patch2:
Adds common interface to add arch/platform specific data
includes supported events, pmu event functions. 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 event attrs
cpumask andevent functions and then registers the pmu by adding
callbacks to register_nvdimm_pmu.
Patch4:
Sysfs documentation patch

PATCH v1 -> PATCH v2
- Fix hotplug code by adding pmu migration call
incase current designated cpu got offline. As
pointed by Peter Zijlstra.

- Removed the retun -1 part from cpu hotplug offline
function.
