Thanks for the link, we'd like to implement something similar. This patch brings
fundamental support for the decoding in perf, which means decoding according to
the hardware packets format definition of each fields. 8DW will like above and
4DW will look like (more detailed):

. ... HISI PTT data: size 4194304 bytes
.  00000000: ff 0f 20 40                                 Format 3 Type 1f T9 1 T8 1 TH 1 SO 1 Length 1 Time 201
.  00000004: 0f 10 80 00                                 Header DW1
.  00000008: 00 04 00 00                                 Header DW2
.  0000000c: 48 01 01 00                                 Header DW3

In the next step we intend to do further decoding in the perf report, with granule
to each fields defined in the PCIe spec according to the different TLP's format
and type.

Since the definition of each Header DWx is exactly the same with the PCIe spec,
so I think user can certainly get the raw data and use the tools like nettlp.lua
to further decode for now.

Thanks,
