4Amlogic SoC DDR Bandwidth Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
5===========================================================
6
7The Amlogic Meson G12 SoC contains a bandwidth monitor inside DRAM controller.
8The monitor includes 4 channels. Each channel can count the request accessing
9DRAM. The channel can count up to 3 AXI port simultaneously. It can be helpful
10to show if the performance bottleneck is on DDR bandwidth.
11
12Currently, this driver supports the following 5 perf events:
13
14+ meson_ddr_bw/total_rw_bytes/
15+ meson_ddr_bw/chan_1_rw_bytes/
16+ meson_ddr_bw/chan_2_rw_bytes/
17+ meson_ddr_bw/chan_3_rw_bytes/
18+ meson_ddr_bw/chan_4_rw_bytes/
19
20meson_ddr_bw/chan_{1,2,3,4}_rw_bytes/ events are channel-specific events.
21Each channel support filtering, which can let the channel to monitor
22individual IP module in SoC.

53Examples:
54
55  + Show the total DDR bandwidth per seconds:
56
57    .. code-block:: bash
58
59       perf stat -a -e meson_ddr_bw/total_rw_bytes/ -I 1000 sleep 10
60
61
62  + Show individual DDR bandwidth from CPU and GPU respectively, as well as
63    sum of them:
64
65    .. code-block:: bash
66
67       perf stat -a -e meson_ddr_bw/chan_1_rw_bytes,arm=1/ -I 1000 sleep 10
