[PATCH 0/2] StarFive's Starlink PMU Support

From: Ji Sheng Teoh
Date: Sun Nov 12 2023 - 23:29:21 EST


This patch series adds support for StarFive's Starlink Performance
Monitor Unit(PMU).
StarFive's StarLink PMU integrates one or more CPU cores with
a shared L3 memory system. The PMU supports overflow interrupt,
up to 16 programmable 64bit event counters, and an independent
64bit cycle counter.
StarLink PMU is accessed via MMIO.

Example Perf stat output:
[root@user]# perf stat -a -e /starfive_starlink_pmu/cycles/ \
-e /starfive_starlink_pmu/read_miss/ \
-e /starfive_starlink_pmu/read_hit/ \
-e /starfive_starlink_pmu/release_request/ \
-e /starfive_starlink_pmu/write_hit/ \
-e /starfive_starlink_pmu/write_miss/ \
-e /starfive_starlink_pmu/write_request/ \
-e /starfive_starlink_pmu/writeback/ \
-e /starfive_starlink_pmu/read_request/ \
