Going forward, future generation systems can have more hierarchy within the node/package level but currently we don't have any data source encoding field in perf, which can be used to represent this level of data.
Add a new field called 'mem_hops' in the perf_mem_data_src structure which can be used to represent intra-node/package or inter-node/off-package details. This field is of size 3 bits where PERF_MEM_HOPS_{NA, 0..6} value can be used to present different hop levels data. Also add corresponding macros to define mem_hop field values and shift value. Currently we define macro for HOPS_0 which corresponds to data coming from another core but same node. For ex: Encodings for mem_hops fields with L2 cache: L2 - local L2 L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_0 - remote core, same node L2 Signed-off-by: Kajol Jain <kj...@linux.ibm.com> --- include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h | 11 +++++++++-- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h b/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h index e1701e9c7858..2fc09579e24a 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h @@ -1210,14 +1210,16 @@ union perf_mem_data_src { mem_remote:1, /* remote */ mem_snoopx:2, /* snoop mode, ext */ mem_blk:3, /* access blocked */ - mem_rsvd:21; + mem_hops:3, /* hop level */ + mem_rsvd:18; }; }; #elif defined(__BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD) union perf_mem_data_src { __u64 val; struct { - __u64 mem_rsvd:21, + __u64 mem_rsvd:18, + mem_hops:3, /* hop level */ mem_blk:3, /* access blocked */ mem_snoopx:2, /* snoop mode, ext */ mem_remote:1, /* remote */ @@ -1313,6 +1315,11 @@ union perf_mem_data_src { #define PERF_MEM_BLK_ADDR 0x04 /* address conflict */ #define PERF_MEM_BLK_SHIFT 40 +/* hop level */ +#define PERF_MEM_HOPS_0 0x01 /* remote core, same node */ +/* 2-7 available */ +#define PERF_MEM_HOPS_SHIFT 43 + #define PERF_MEM_S(a, s) \ (((__u64)PERF_MEM_##a##_##s) << PERF_MEM_##a##_SHIFT) -- 2.26.2
