Subject: [PATCH v1 0/3] perf pmu: Add tool-provided NVMe PMU
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2026 00:03:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609070348.541964-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

This patch series introduces a tool-provided PMU for NVMe devices to expose
various hardware logs as perf events.

Using libnvme, the new nvme_pmu extracts metrics from standard NVMe log pages
including:
- SMART / Health Information (e.g. data units read/written, power cycles,
  temperature)
- Endurance Group Information
- FDP (Flexible Data Placement) Statistics
- Error Information
- Zoned Namespaces (ZNS) Changed Zones

Key features:
- Dynamic probing of supported log pages on /dev/nvmeX. Unsupported events
  are marked as deprecated and hidden from `perf list` by default.
- Generic configuration encoding where the log type, size, and offset are
  encoded directly into the event configuration.
- Correct interval delta tracking using baseline offset snapshots. This mimics
  the behavior of the hwmon PMU, allowing gauges like Temperature to be
  reported instantaneously in `perf stat -I`, while standard counters
  correctly accumulate deltas.
- Robust handling of cross-architecture endianness when reading 128-bit and
  64-bit fields from the NVMe specification.

The series is broken down into:
1. Adding the libnvme feature detection via pkg-config in tools/build.
2. The core implementation of the NVMe tool PMU.
3. A unit test suite verifying the parsing and encoding of the NVMe PMU
   events using a mocked device.
