+================================================
+HiSilicon PCIe Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
+================================================
+
+On Hip09, HiSilicon PCIe Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) could monitor
+bandwidth, latency, bus utilization and buffer occupancy data of PCIe.
+
+Each PCIe Core has a PMU to monitor multi Root Ports of this PCIe Core and
+all Endpoints downstream these Root Ports.
+
+
+HiSilicon PCIe PMU driver
+=========================
+
+The PCIe PMU driver registers a perf PMU with the name of its sicl-id and PCIe
+Core id.::
+
+  /sys/bus/event_source/hisi_pcie<sicl>_<core>
+
+PMU driver provides description of available events and filter options in sysfs,
+see /sys/bus/event_source/devices/hisi_pcie<sicl>_<core>.
+
+The "format" directory describes all formats of the config (events) and config1
+(filter options) fields of the perf_event_attr structure. The "events" directory
+describes all documented events shown in perf list.
+
+The "identifier" sysfs file allows users to identify the version of the
+PMU hardware device.
+
+The "bus" sysfs file allows users to get the bus number of Root Ports
+monitored by PMU.
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+  $# perf list
+  hisi_pcie0_0/rx_mwr_latency/ [kernel PMU event]
+  hisi_pcie0_0/rx_mwr_cnt/ [kernel PMU event]
+  ------------------------------------------
+
+  $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_0/rx_mwr_latency/
+  $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_0/rx_mwr_cnt/
+  $# perf stat -g -e hisi_pcie0_0/rx_mwr_latency/ -e hisi_pcie0_0/rx_mwr_cnt/
+
+The current driver does not support sampling. So "perf record" is unsupported.
+Also attach to a task is unsupported for PCIe PMU.
+
+Filter options
+--------------
+
+1. Target filter
+PMU could only monitor the performance of traffic downstream target Root Ports
+or downstream target Endpoint. PCIe PMU driver support "port" and "bdf"
+interfaces for users, and these two interfaces aren't supported at the same
+time.
+
+-port
+"port" filter can be used in all PCIe PMU events, target Root Port can be
+selected by configuring the 16-bits-bitmap "port". Multi ports can be selected
+for AP-layer-events, and only one port can be selected for TL/DL-layer-events.
+
+For example, if target Root Port is 0000:00:00.0 (x8 lanes), bit0 of bitmap
+should be set, port=0x1; if target Root Port is 0000:00:04.0 (x4 lanes),
+bit8 is set, port=0x100; if these two Root Ports are both monitored, port=0x101.
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+  $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_0/rx_mwr_latency,port=0x1/ sleep 5
+
+-bdf
+
+"bdf" filter can only be used in bandwidth events, target Endpoint is selected
+by configuring BDF to "bdf". Counter only counts the bandwidth of message
+requested by target Endpoint.
+
+For example, "bdf=0x3900" means BDF of target Endpoint is 0000:39:00.0.
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+  $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_0/rx_mrd_flux,bdf=0x3900/ sleep 5
+
+2. Trigger filter
+Event statistics start when the first time TLP length is greater/smaller
+than trigger condition. You can set the trigger condition by writing "trig_len",
+and set the trigger mode by writing "trig_mode". This filter can only be used
+in bandwidth events.
+
+For example, "trig_len=4" means trigger condition is 2^4 DW, "trig_mode=0"
+means statistics start when TLP length > trigger condition, "trig_mode=1"
+means start when TLP length < condition.
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+  $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_0/rx_mrd_flux,trig_len=0x4,trig_mode=1/ sleep 5
+
+3. Threshold filter
+Counter counts when TLP length within the specified range. You can set the
+threshold by writing "thr_len", and set the threshold mode by writing
+"thr_mode". This filter can only be used in bandwidth events.
+
+For example, "thr_len=4" means threshold is 2^4 DW, "thr_mode=0" means
+counter counts when TLP length >= threshold, and "thr_mode=1" means counts
+when TLP length < threshold.
+
+Example usage of perf::
+
+  $# perf stat -e hisi_pcie0_0/rx_mrd_flux,thr_len=0x4,thr_mode=1/ sleep 5
