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 PCIe core includes several Root Ports and a PTT
|
|
RCiEP, like below. The PTT device is capable of tuning and
|
|
tracing the links of the PCIe core.

+---------------------------+
|
|
|
|
The PTT device driver registers one PMU device for each PTT device.
|
|
The name of each PTT device is composed of 'hisi_ptt' prefix with
|
|
the id of the SICL and the Core where it locates. The Kunpeng 930
|
|
SoC encapsulates multiple CPU dies (SCCL, Super CPU Cluster) and
|
|
IO dies (SICL, Super I/O Cluster), where there's one PCIe Root
|
|
Complex for each SICL.

Tune
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
PTT tune is designed for monitoring and adjusting PCIe link parameters (events).
|
|
Currently we support events in 2 classes. The scope of the events
|
|
covers the PCIe core to which the PTT device belongs.
|
|
|
|
Each event is presented as a file under $(PTT PMU dir)/tune, and
|
|
a simple open/read/write/close cycle will be used to tune the event.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ cd /sys/devices/hisi_ptt<sicl_id>_<core_id>/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.
|
|
|
|
1. Tx Path QoS Control
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The 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.
|
|
|
|
- rx_alloc_buf_level: watermark of Rx requested
|
|
- tx_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. The packets will
|
|
be stored in the buffer first and then transmitted either when the
|
|
watermark reached or when timed out. For a busy direction, you should
|
|
increase the related buffer watermark to avoid frequently posting and
|
|
thus enhance the performance. In most cases just keep the default value.
|
|
|
|
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 choose 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 supported to trace the headers of certain type and of
|
|
certain direction.
|
|
|
|
You can use the perf command `perf record` to set the parameters, start
|
|
trace and get the data. It's also supported to decode the trace
|
|
data with `perf report`. The control parameters for trace is inputted
|
|
as event code for each events, which will be further illustrated later.
|
|
An example usage is like
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ perf record -e hisi_ptt0_2/filter=0x80001,type=1,direction=1,
|
|
format=1/ -- sleep 5
|
|
|
|
This will trace the TLP headers downstream root port 0000:00:10.1 (event
|
|
code for event 'filter' is 0x80001) with type of posted TLP requests,
|
|
direction of inbound and traced data format of 8DW.
|
|
|
|
1. Filter
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
The TLP headers to trace can be filtered by the Root Ports or the Requester ID
|
|
of the Endpoint, which are located on the same core of the PTT device. You can
|
|
set the filter by specifying the `filter` parameter which is required to start
|
|
the trace. The parameter value is 20 bit. Bit 19 indicates the filter type.
|
|
1 for Root Port filter and 0 for Requester filter. Bit[15:0] indicates the
|
|
filter value. The value for a Root Port is a mask of the core port id which is
|
|
calculated from its PCI Slot ID as (slotid & 7) * 2. The value for a Requester
|
|
is the Requester ID (Device ID of the PCIe function). Bit[18:16] is currently
|
|
reserved for extension.
|
|
|
|
For example, if the desired filter is Endpoint function 0000:01:00.1 the filter
|
|
value will be 0x00101. If the desired filter is Root Port 0000:00:10.0 then
|
|
then filter value is calculated as 0x80001.
|
|
|
|
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. Driver maintains a list of
|
|
available filters and will check the invalid inputs.
|
|
|
|
Currently the available filters are detected in driver's probe. If the supported
|
|
devices are removed/added after probe, you may need to reload the driver to update
|
|
the filters.
|
|
|
|
2. Type
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
You can trace the TLP headers of certain types by specifying the `type`
|
|
parameter, which is required to start the trace. The parameter value is
|
|
8 bit. Current supported types and related values are shown below:
|
|
|
|
- 8'b00000001: posted requests (P)
|
|
- 8'b00000010: non-posted requests (NP)
|
|
- 8'b00000100: completions (CPL)
|
|
|
|
You can specify multiple types when tracing inbound TLP headers, but can only
|
|
specify one when tracing outbound TLP headers.
|
|
|
|
3. Direction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
You can trace the TLP headers from certain direction, which is relative
|
|
to the Root Port or the PCIe core, by specifying the `direction` parameter.
|
|
This is optional and the default parameter is inbound. The parameter value
|
|
is 4 bit. When the desired format is 4DW, directions and related values
|
|
supported are shown below:
|
|
|
|
- 4'b0000: inbound TLPs (P, NP, CPL)
|
|
- 4'b0001: outbound TLPs (P, NP, CPL)
|
|
- 4'b0010: outbound TLPs (P, NP, CPL) and inbound TLPs (P, NP, CPL B)
|
|
- 4'b0011: outbound TLPs (P, NP, CPL) and inbound TLPs (CPL A)
|
|
|
|
When the desired format is 8DW, directions and related values supported are
|
|
shown below:
|
|
|
|
- 4'b0000: reserved
|
|
- 4'b0001: outbound TLPs (P, NP, CPL)
|
|
- 4'b0010: inbound TLPs (P, NP, CPL B)
|
|
- 4'b0011: inbound TLPs (CPL A)
|
|
|
|
Inbound completions are classified into two types:
|
|
|
|
- completion A (CPL A): completion of CHI/DMA/Native non-posted requests, except for CPL B
|
|
- completion B (CPL B): completion of DMA remote2local and P2P non-posted requests
|
|
|
|
4. Format
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
You can change the format of the traced TLP headers by specifying the
|
|
`format` parameter. The default format is 4DW. The parameter value is 4 bit.
|
|
Current supported formats and related values are shown below:
|
|
|
|
- 4'b0000: 4DW length per TLP header
|
|
- 4'b0001: 8DW length per TLP header
|
|
|
|
The traced TLP header format is different from the PCIe standard.
|
|
|
|
When using the 8DW data format, the entire TLP header is logged
|
|
(Header DW0-3 shown below). 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 for a PASID TLP prefix (see Figure 6-20, PCIe r5.0).
|
|
Otherwise this field will be all 0.
|
|
|
|
The bit[31:11] of DW0 is always 0x1fffff, which can be
|
|
used to distinguish the data format. 8DW format is like
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
bits [ 31:11 ][ 10:0 ]
|
|
|---------------------------------------|-------------------|
|
|
DW0 [ 0x1fffff ][ Reserved (0x7ff) ]
|
|
DW1 [ Prefix ]
|
|
DW2 [ Header DW0 ]
|
|
DW3 [ Header DW1 ]
|
|
DW4 [ Header DW2 ]
|
|
DW5 [ Header DW3 ]
|
|
DW6 [ Reserved (0x0) ]
|
|
DW7 [ Time ]
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
4DW format is like
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
bits [31:30] [ 29:25 ][24][23][22][21][ 20:11 ][ 10:0 ]
|
|
|-----|---------|---|---|---|---|-------------|-------------|
|
|
DW0 [ Fmt ][ Type ][T9][T8][TH][SO][ Length ][ Time ]
|
|
DW1 [ Header DW1 ]
|
|
DW2 [ Header DW2 ]
|
|
DW3 [ Header DW3 ]
|
|
|
|
5. Memory Management
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The traced TLP headers will be written to the memory allocated
|
|
by the driver. The hardware accepts 4 DMA address with same size,
|
|
and writes the buffer sequentially like below. If DMA addr 3 is
|
|
finished and the trace is still on, it will return to addr 0.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
+->[DMA addr 0]->[DMA addr 1]->[DMA addr 2]->[DMA addr 3]-+
|
|
+---------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
Driver will allocate each DMA buffer of 4MiB. The finished buffer
|
|
will be copied to the perf AUX buffer allocated by the perf core.
|
|
Once the AUX buffer is full while the trace is still on, driver
|
|
will commit the AUX buffer first and then apply for a new one with
|
|
the same size. The size of AUX buffer is default to 16MiB. User can
|
|
adjust the size by specifying the `-m` parameter of the perf command.
|
|
|
|
6. Decoding
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
You can decode the traced data with `perf report -D` command (currently
|
|
only support to dump the raw trace data). The traced data will be decoded
|
|
according to the format described previously (take 8DW as an example):
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
