7Ampere SoC PMU is a generic PMU IP that follows Arm CoreSight PMU architecture.
8Therefore, the driver is implemented as a submodule of arm_cspmu driver. At the
9first phase it's used for counting MCU events on AmpereOne.

15The PMU driver supports setting filters for "rank", "bank", and "threshold".
16Note, that the filters are per PMU instance rather than per event.

21  / # perf list ampere
22
23    ampere_mcu_pmu_0/act_sent/                         [Kernel PMU event]
24    <...>
25    ampere_mcu_pmu_1/rd_sent/                          [Kernel PMU event]
26    <...>

28  / # perf stat -a -e ampere_mcu_pmu_0/act_sent,bank=5,rank=3,threshold=2/,ampere_mcu_pmu_1/rd_sent/ \
