"git grep -i kunpeng" shows nothing that's obviously relevant. I assume there's a related driver in drivers/pci/controller/? Is this one paragraph or two? If one, reflow. If two, add blank line between. IIUC, the diagram below shows two PCIe cores, each with three Root Ports and a PTT RCiEP. Your text mentions "RCiEPs, and one PTT" which suggests RCiEPs in addition to the PTT, but the diagram doesn't show any, and if there are other RCiEPs, they don't seem relevant to this doc. Maybe something like this? Each PCIe core includes several Root Ports and a PTT RCiEP ... > +:: > + +--------------Core 0-------+ > + | | [ PTT ] | > + | | [Root Port]---[Endpoint] > + | | [Root Port]---[Endpoint] > + | | [Root Port]---[Endpoint] > + Root Complex |------Core 1-------+ > + | | [ PTT ] | > + | | [Root Port]---[ Switch ]---[Endpoint] > + | | [Root Port]---[Endpoint] `-[Endpoint] > + | | [Root Port]---[Endpoint] > + +---------------------------+ > + > +The PTT device driver cannot be loaded if debugfs is not mounted. > +Each PTT device will be presented under /sys/kernel/debugfs/hisi_ptt > +as its root directory, with name of its BDF number. > +:: > + > + /sys/kernel/debug/hisi_ptt/<domain>:<bus>:<device>.<function> > + > +Tune > +==== > + > +PTT tune is designed for monitoring and adjusting PCIe link parameters(events).

I think this is obvious from the model, so the sentence doesn't really add anything. Each event is a separate file, and it's obvious that there's no way to write to multiple files simultaneously. > +1.

I don't believe you can directly influence the *proportions* of packet types. The number and types of TLPs are determined by device driver MMIO accesses and device DMAs. Maybe you can influence the *priority*? I assume that regardless of these settings, the device always respects the transaction ordering rules in PCIe r5.0, sec 2.4, right? > +The available tune data of these events is [0, 1, 2]. > +Writing a negative value will return an error, and out of range > +values will be converted to 2.

Based on what you have written here, I would just write 2 to both files to enhance the performance in both directions. But obviously there must be some tradeoff here, e.g., increasing Rx performance comes at the cost of Tx performane. Use "Rx" or "RX" (and "Tx" or "TX") consistently. So far we have "tx", "TX", "Tx", as well as "RX" and "Tx" in the same sentence. > +The available tune data of above events is [0, 1, 2]. > +Writing a negative value will return an error, and out of range > +values will be converted to 2.

I don't think "writing multiple files simultaneously" is even possible in the Linux syscall model.

Ah, that helps a lot, thank you. Maybe you could say something along the lines of this: When using the 8DW data format, the entire TLP header is logged. For example, the TLP header for Memory Reads with 64-bit addresses is shown in PCIe r5.0, Figure 2-17; the header for Configuration Requests is shown in Figure 2.20, etc. In addition, 8DW trace buffer entries contain a timestamp and possibly a prefix, e.g., a PASID TLP prefix (see Figure 6-20). TLPs may include more than one prefix, but only one can be logged in trace buffer entries. When using the 4DW data format, DW0 of the trace buffer entry contains selected fields of DW0 of the TLP, together with a timestamp. DW1-DW3 of the trace buffer entry contain DW1-DW3 directly from the TLP header. This looks like a really cool device. I wish we had this for more platforms. Bjorn

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +====================================== +HiSilicon PCIe Tune and Trace device +====================================== + +Introduction +============ + +HiSilicon PCIe tune and trace device (PTT) is a PCIe Root Complex +integrated Endpoint (RCiEP) device, providing the capability +to dynamically monitor and tune the PCIe link's events (tune), +and trace the TLP headers (trace). The two functions are independent, +but is recommended to use them together to analyze and enhance the +PCIe link's performance. + +On Kunpeng 930 SoC, the PCIe root complex is composed of several +PCIe cores. +Each core is composed of several root ports, RCiEPs, and one +PTT device, like below. The PTT device is capable of tuning and +tracing the link of the PCIe core. +:: + +--------------Core 0-------+ + | | [ PTT ] | + | | [Root Port]---[Endpoint] + | | [Root Port]---[Endpoint] + | | [Root Port]---[Endpoint] + Root Complex |------Core 1-------+ + | | [ PTT ] | + | | [Root Port]---[ Switch ]---[Endpoint] + | | [Root Port]---[Endpoint] `-[Endpoint] + | | [Root Port]---[Endpoint] + +---------------------------+ + +The PTT device driver cannot be loaded if debugfs is not mounted. +Each PTT device will be presented under /sys/kernel/debugfs/hisi_ptt +as its root directory, with name of its BDF number. +:: + + /sys/kernel/debug/hisi_ptt/<domain>:<bus>:<device>.<function> + +Tune +==== + +PTT tune is designed for monitoring and adjusting PCIe link parameters(events). +Currently we support events in 4 classes. The scope of the events +covers the PCIe core with which the PTT device belongs to. + +Each event is presented as a file under $(PTT root dir)/$(BDF)/tune, and +mostly a simple open/read/write/close cycle will be used to tune +the event. +:: + $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/hisi_ptt/$(BDF)/tune + $ ls + qos_tx_cpl qos_tx_np qos_tx_p + tx_path_rx_req_alloc_buf_level + tx_path_tx_req_alloc_buf_level + $ cat qos_tx_dp + 1 + $ echo 2 > qos_tx_dp + $ cat qos_tx_dp + 2 + +Current value(numerical value) of the event can be simply read +from the file, and the desired value written to the file to tune. +Tuning multiple events at the same time is not permitted, which means +you cannot read or write more than one tune file at one time. + +1. Tx path QoS control +------------------------ + +Following files are provided to tune the QoS of the tx path of the PCIe core. + +- qos_tx_cpl: weight of tx completion TLPs +- qos_tx_np: weight of tx non-posted TLPs +- qos_tx_p: weight of tx posted TLPs + +The weight influences the proportion of certain packets on the PCIe link. +For example, for the storage scenario, increase the proportion +of the completion packets on the link to enhance the performance as +more completions are consumed. + +The available tune data of these events is [0, 1, 2]. +Writing a negative value will return an error, and out of range +values will be converted to 2. Note that the event value just +indicates a probable level, but is not precise. + +2. Tx path buffer control +------------------------- + +Following files are provided to tune the buffer of tx path of the PCIe core. + +- tx_path_rx_req_alloc_buf_level: watermark of RX requested +- tx_path_tx_req_alloc_buf_level: watermark of TX requested + +These events influence the watermark of the buffer allocated for each +type. RX means the inbound while Tx means outbound. For a busy +direction, you should increase the related buffer watermark to enhance +the performance. + +The available tune data of above events is [0, 1, 2]. +Writing a negative value will return an error, and out of range +values will be converted to 2. Note that the event value just +indicates a probable level, but is not precise. + +Trace +===== + +PTT trace is designed for dumping the TLP headers to the memory, which +can be used to analyze the transactions and usage condition of the PCIe +Link. You can chose to filter the traced headers by either requester ID, +or those downstream of a set of root ports on the same core of the PTT +device. It's also support to trace the headers of certain type and of +certain direction. + +In order to start trace, you need to configure the parameters first. +The parameters files is provided under $(PTT root dir)/$(BDF)/trace. +:: + $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/hisi_ptt/$(BDF)/trace + $ ls + free_buffer filter buflet_nums buflet_size + direction type data trace_on + data_format + +1. filter +--------- + +You can configure the filter of TLP headers through the file. The filter +is provided as BDF numbers of either root port or subordinates, which +belong to the same PCIe core. You can get the filters available and +currently configured by read the file, and write the desired BDF to the +file to set the filters. There is no default filter, which means you +must specifiy at least one filter before start tracing. +Write invalid BDF(not in the available list) will return +a failure. +:: + $ echo 0000:80:04.0 > filter + $ cat filter + #### Root Ports #### + 0000:80:00.0 + [0000:80:04.0] + #### Functions #### + 0000:81:00.0 + 0000:81:00.1 + 0000:82:00.0 + +Note that multiple root ports can be specified at one time, but only +one Endpoint function can be specified in one trace. +Specifying both root port and function at the same time is not supported. + +If no filter is available, read the filter will get the hint. +:: + $ cat filter + #### No available filter #### + +The filter can be dynamically updated, which means you can always +get correct filter information when hotplug events happens, or +manually remove/rescan the devices. + +2. type +------- + +You can trace the TLP headers of certain types by configure the file. +Read the file will get available types and current setting, and write +the desired type to the file to configure. The default type is +`posted_request` and write types not in the available list will return +a failure. +:: + $ echo completion > type + $ cat type + all posted_request non-posted_request [completion] + +3. direction +------------ + +You can trace the TLP headers from certain direction, which is relative +to the root port or the PCIe core. Read the file to get available +directions and current configurition, and write the desired direction +to configure. The default value is `rx` and any invalid direction will +return a failure. Note `rxtx_no_dma_p2p` means the headers of both +directions, but not include P2P DMA access. +:: + $ echo rxtx > direction + $ cat direction + rx tx [rxtx] rxtx_no_dma_p2p + +4. buflet_size +-------------- + +The traced TLP headers will be written to the memory allocated +by the driver. The hardware accept 4 DMA address with same size, +and write the buflet sequentially like below. If DMA addr 3 is +finished and the trace is still on, it will return to addr 0. +Driver will allocated each DMA buffer (we call it buflet). +The finished buflet will be replaced with a new one, so +a long time trace can be achieved. +:: + +->[DMA addr 0]->[DMA addr 1]->[DMA addr 2]->[DMA addr 3]-+ + +---------------------------------------------------------+ + +You should both configure the buflet_size and buflet_nums to +configure the `trace buffer` to receive the TLP headers. The +total trace buffer size is buflet_size * buflet_nums. Note +that the trace buffer will not be allocated immediately after you +configure the parameters, but will be allocated right before +the trace starts. + +This file configures the buflet size. Read the file will get +available buflet size and size set currently, write the desired +size to the file to configure.

The default +value is 64. And any positive value is valid. Note that big value +may lead to DMA memory allocation failure, and you will not be +able to start tracing.
