Subject: [PATCH v4 31/31] x86/resctrl: Update Documentation for package events
Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2025 17:33:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250429003359.375508-32-tony.luck@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250429003359.375508-1-tony.luck@intel.com>
Each "mon_data" directory is now divided between L3 events and package
events.
The "info/PERF_PKG_MON" directory contains parameters for perf events.

- This contains a set of files organized by L3 domain and by

- directories have one file per event (e.g. "llc_occupancy",
- "mbm_total_bytes", and "mbm_local_bytes"). In a MON group these
- files provide a read out of the current value of the event for

- MON groups. Please see example section for more details on usage.
+ This contains a set of directories, one for each instance
+ of an L3 cache, or of a processor package. The L3 cache
+ directories are named "mon_L3_00", "mon_L3_01" etc. The
+ package directories "mon_PERF_PKG_00", "mon_PERF_PKG_01" etc.
+
+ Within each directory there is one file per event. In

+ and "mbm_local_bytes". In the PERF_PKG directories: "core_energy",
+ "activity", etc.
+
+ "core_energy" reports a floating point number for the energy
+ (in Joules) used by cores for each RMID.
+
+ "activity" also reports a floating point value (in Farads).
+ This provides an estimate of work done independent of the
+ frequency that the cores used for execution.
+
+ All other events report decimal integer values.
+
+ In a MON group these files provide a read out of the current
+ value of the event for all tasks in the group. In CTRL_MON groups
+ these files provide the sum for all tasks in the CTRL_MON group
+ and all tasks in MON groups. Please see example section for more
+ details on usage.

On systems with Sub-NUMA Cluster (SNC) enabled there are extra
directories for each node (located within the "mon_L3_XX" directory
for the L3 cache they occupy). These are named "mon_sub_L3_YY"
