This adds SiFive private L2 cache PMU driver. User
can use perf tool to profile by event name and event id.

Example:
$ perf stat -C 0 -e /sifive_pl2_pmu/inner_acquire_block_btot/
                 -e /sifive_pl2_pmu/inner_acquire_block_ntob/
                 -e /sifive_pl2_pmu/inner_acquire_block_ntot/ ls

  Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

                300      sifive_pl2_pmu/inner_acquire_block_btot/
              17801      sifive_pl2_pmu/inner_acquire_block_ntob/
               5253      sifive_pl2_pmu/inner_acquire_block_ntot/

        0.088917326 seconds time elapsed

$ perf stat -C 0 -e /sifive_pl2_pmu/event=0x10001/
                 -e /sifive_pl2_pmu/event=0x4001/
                 -e /sifive_pl2_pmu/event=0x8001/ ls

  Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

                251      sifive_pl2_pmu/event=0x10001/
               2620      sifive_pl2_pmu/event=0x4001/
                644      sifive_pl2_pmu/event=0x8001/

Perf drivers should be in drivers/perf, no?


Hi Conor,

Yes, I see most of the drivers are in the drivers/perf.

But I grep perf_pmu_register(), it seems not all the pmu drivers are
in drivers/perf as below:

arch/arm/mach-imx/mmdc.c:517:   ret =
perf_pmu_register(&(pmu_mmdc->pmu), name, -1);
arch/arm/mm/cache-l2x0-pmu.c:552:       ret =
perf_pmu_register(l2x0_pmu, l2x0_name, -1);
...
drivers/dma/idxd/perfmon.c:627: rc = perf_pmu_register(&idxd_pmu->pmu,
idxd_pmu->name, -1);
drivers/fpga/dfl-fme-perf.c:904:static int
fme_perf_pmu_register(struct platform_device *pdev,
drivers/fpga/dfl-fme-perf.c:929:        ret = perf_pmu_register(pmu, name, -1);
...
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_pmu.c:549:    ret =
perf_pmu_register(&pmu_entry->pmu, pmu_name, -1);
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_pmu.c:1190:   ret =
perf_pmu_register(&pmu->base, pmu->name, -1);
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm-perf.c:907:   ret =
perf_pmu_register(&etm_pmu, CORESIGHT_ETM_PMU_NAME, -1);
drivers/hwtracing/ptt/hisi_ptt.c:895:   ret =
perf_pmu_register(&hisi_ptt->hisi_ptt_pmu, pmu_name, -1);
drivers/iommu/intel/perfmon.c:570:      return
perf_pmu_register(&iommu_pmu->pmu, iommu_pmu->pmu.name, -1);
drivers/nvdimm/nd_perf.c:309:   rc = perf_pmu_register(&nd_pmu->pmu,
nd_pmu->pmu.name, -1);
...

I just wondering what kind of pmu drivers should be in drivers/perf
and what kind of pmu drivers should not be in drivers/perf.
Thanks.


Given the registers for the l2 cache controls and l2 pmu don't overlap
do we need the pmu and general cache drivers together?
