Re: [PATCH v3 2/3] drivers/perf: add DesignWare PCIe PMU driver

[Jonathan Cameron]

PCI folks, Question below directed at you. Please take a look.
+CC linux-cxl because a similar question is going to bite us shortly
if we want CXL PMUs to work well on RP or Switch ports.

I wouldn't read much into that 'failure'.  We never persisted with that driver because it was for an old
generation of hardware.  Mostly the aim with that was to explore the area of PCIe PMU in general
rather than to get the support upstream. Some of the counters on that hardware were too small to
be of much use anyway :)

Grabbing just relevant functions..

Bjorn, we need to figure out a way forwards for this sort of case and I'd
appreciate your input on the broad brush question of 'how should it be done'?

This is a case where a PCIe port (RP here) correctly has the PCIe class code
so binds to the pcie_port driver, but has a VSEC (others examples use DOE, or DVSEC)
that provides extended functionality.  The referred to PCIe PMU from our older Hisilicon
platforms did it by adding another service driver - that probably doesn't extend well.

The approach used here is to separately walk the PCI topology and register the devices.
It can 'maybe' get away with that because no interrupts and I assume resets have no
nasty impacts on it because the device is fairly simple.  In general that's not going
to work.  CXL does a similar trick (which I don't much like, but too late now),
but we've also run into the problem of how to get interrupts if not the main driver.

So what approach should we look at to solve this in general?
