Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] perf jevents: Add IOMMU metrics for AMD
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 16:44:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528234455.434027-2-ctshao@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260528234455.434027-1-ctshao@google.com>
Add IOMMU Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) and interrupt cache metrics
to perf jevents for AMD platforms. This enhances I/O performance
observability, allowing fleet-wide monitoring of IOMMU overhead.
These metrics are supported on Zen 2 and newer processors (Rome, Milan,
Genoa, Turin) and are implemented using the standard `amd_iommu` PMU
events. The implementation uses the existing `_zen_model` helper to
ensure these are only generated for Zen 2+. Note that the pde events on
AMD cover both 2M and 1G pages, so 1G pages are implicitly included in
the total hits/misses metrics (sum of pte and pde events).
The following metrics are added:
- iotlb_total_hit: Total IOTLB hits (4K, 2M, 1G pages).
- iotlb_total_miss: Total IOTLB misses.
- iotlb_miss_rate: IOTLB miss rate.
- iotlb_interrupt_cache_hit: Interrupt cache hits.
- iotlb_interrupt_cache_miss: Interrupt cache misses.
- iotlb_interrupt_cache_lookup: Interrupt cache lookups.
- iotlb_interrupt_cache_miss_rate: Interrupt cache miss rate.
Tested:
# perf stat -M \
iotlb_total_hit,iotlb_total_miss,iotlb_miss_rate \
--per-socket --metric-only -a -j -- sleep 10
{"socket" : "S0", "counters" : 10,
"hits iotlb_total_hit" : "3579249.0",
"% iotlb_miss_rate" : "0.0",
"misses iotlb_total_miss" : "3.0"}
{"socket" : "S1", "counters" : 10,
"hits iotlb_total_hit" : "0.0",
"% iotlb_miss_rate" : "0.0",
"misses iotlb_total_miss" : "0.0"}
