In ARM PMU all the events are hard-coded into the driver code i.e. in v7 arch/arm/kernel/perf_event_v7.c and are seen from perf. They are different type and for different purpose. The Ecynos PPMU events are not seen in perf, they are for internal monitoring and must not be reset by other actors like perf. They are used by the 'bus drivers' to made some heuristics and tune the internal settings, like frequency. Chanwoo has written PPMU driver which relies on DT definition. The DT events are used by other DT devices by phandle. In Exynos 5x SoCs we have many 'bus devices' which use events to monitor their usage and react accordingly. ---------------8<------------------------ [ 4.140923] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_wcore ( 84000 KHz ~ 400000 KHz) [ 4.149179] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_noc ( 67000 KHz ~ 100000 KHz) [ 4.156825] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_fsys_apb (100000 KHz ~ 200000 KHz) [ 4.165071] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_fsys (100000 KHz ~ 200000 KHz) [ 4.173577] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_fsys2 ( 75000 KHz ~ 150000 KHz) [ 4.182141] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_mfc ( 96000 KHz ~ 333000 KHz) [ 4.190099] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_gen ( 89000 KHz ~ 267000 KHz) [ 4.197953] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_peri ( 67000 KHz ~ 67000 KHz) [ 4.206523] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_g2d ( 84000 KHz ~ 333000 KHz) [ 4.214516] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_g2d_acp ( 67000 KHz ~ 267000 KHz) [ 4.222850] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_jpeg ( 75000 KHz ~ 300000 KHz) [ 4.231052] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_jpeg_apb ( 84000 KHz ~ 167000 KHz) [ 4.239202] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_disp1_fimd (120000 KHz ~ 200000 KHz) [ 4.248033] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_disp1 (120000 KHz ~ 300000 KHz) [ 4.256304] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_gscl_scaler (150000 KHz ~ 300000 KHz) [ 4.265397] exynos-bus: new bus device registered: soc:bus_mscl ( 84000 KHz ~ 400000 KHz) -------------------------->8---------------------------------------- The PPMU driver made some assumption, though. It always monitors only 'read+write data bytes' as an event data type. Thus, it is not possible to monitor other stuff and maybe improve the heuristics. This simple modification allows to define different data type, which is acquired by the counter, still being compatible with all the Exynos drivers in the existing implementation.

Maybe the bindings description is not perfect, but it contains examples which might help clarifying the idea. Regarding the real value of the patch set, it is needed for some research. Currently, the Odroid xu3/4 is the best 'mainline' platform with big.LITTLE, has good performance and these counters. Willy, who is doing his PhD, wants to experiment with it. I agree that it could be better documented but it requires more effort. I will extend the documentation it in my free time slots (it is not my main task for now). For now, I have received comments and parts of code from Chanwoo which made the next patch set mature and ready to merge (IMHO). If you have suggestions how to improve these bindings or links for good examples, I would really appreciate. Thank you for your time and review. Regards, Lukasz

Extend the documenation by events description with new 'event-data-type' field. Add example how the event might be defined in DT. Signed-off-by: Lukasz Luba <l.luba@partner.samsung.com> --- .../devicetree/bindings/devfreq/event/exynos-ppmu.txt | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+)
