Subject: [PATCH v15 1/3] dt-bindings: perf: Add Broadcom Raspberry Pi AXI PMU definition
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 15:42:59 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102234301.2242242-2-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102234301.2242242-1-irogers@google.com>
Add device tree bindings for the Broadcom Raspberry Pi AXI PMU block
found on BCM2835, BCM2711, and BCM2712 SoCs.
Depending on the SoC and security configuration, these PMUs support
either direct MMIO access for the System monitor or routing via the
Raspberry Pi firmware mailbox IPC for the VideoCore VPU monitor.

+description: |
+ The Broadcom BCM2835 series (including BCM2711 and BCM2712) features hardware
+ performance monitors on the AXI bus for evaluating memory bandwidth and
+ system traffic. Two monitor register blocks are present: the primary monitor
+ evaluates the System fabric, while the secondary monitor evaluates the
+ VideoCore VPU fabric. This block is distinct from the BCM5301X AXI Trace
+ Module.
