Amlogic SoC DDR Bandwidth Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
===========================================================

The Amlogic Meson G12 SoC contains a bandwidth monitor inside DRAM controller.
The monitor includes 4 channels. Each channel can count the request accessing
DRAM. The channel can count up to 3 AXI port simultaneously. It can be helpful
to show if the performance bottleneck is on DDR bandwidth.

Currently, this driver supports the following 5 perf events:

+ meson_ddr_bw/total_rw_bytes/
+ meson_ddr_bw/chan_1_rw_bytes/
+ meson_ddr_bw/chan_2_rw_bytes/
+ meson_ddr_bw/chan_3_rw_bytes/
+ meson_ddr_bw/chan_4_rw_bytes/

meson_ddr_bw/chan_{1,2,3,4}_rw_bytes/ events are channel-specific events.
Each channel support filtering, which can let the channel to monitor
individual IP module in SoC.

Below are DDR access request event filter keywords:

Examples:

  + Show the total DDR bandwidth per seconds:

    .. code-block:: bash

       perf stat -a -e meson_ddr_bw/total_rw_bytes/ -I 1000 sleep 10


  + Show individual DDR bandwidth from CPU and GPU respectively, as well as
    sum of them:

    .. code-block:: bash

       perf stat -a -e meson_ddr_bw/chan_1_rw_bytes,arm=1/ -I 1000 sleep 10
       perf stat -a -e meson_ddr_bw/chan_2_rw_bytes,gpu=1/ -I 1000 sleep 10
       perf stat -a -e meson_ddr_bw/chan_3_rw_bytes,arm=1,gpu=1/ -I 1000 sleep 10
