Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] Documentation: tracing: Add PCI controller event documentation
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 09:58:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1774403912-210670-3-git-send-email-shawn.lin@rock-chips.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1774403912-210670-1-git-send-email-shawn.lin@rock-chips.com>

The available tracepoint, pcie_ltssm_state_transition, monitors the LTSSM
state transition for debugging purpose. Add description about it.

+======================================
+Subsystem Trace Points: PCI Controller
+======================================
+
+Overview
+========
+The PCI controller tracing system provides tracepoints to monitor controller
+level information for debugging purpose. The events normally show up here:
+
+	/sys/kernel/tracing/events/pci_controller
+
+Cf. include/trace/events/pci_controller.h for the events definitions.
+
+Available Tracepoints
+=====================
+
+pcie_ltssm_state_transition
+---------------------------
+
+Monitors PCIe LTSSM state transition including state and rate information
+::
+
+    pcie_ltssm_state_transition  "dev: %s state: %s rate: %s\n"
+
+**Parameters**:
+
+* ``dev`` - PCIe controller instance
+* ``state`` - PCIe LTSSM state
+* ``rate`` - PCIe date rate
+
+**Example Usage**:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    # Enable the tracepoint
+    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/pci_controller/pcie_ltssm_state_transition/enable
+
+    # Monitor events (the following output is generated when a device is linking)
+    cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
+       kworker/0:0-9       [000] .....     5.600221: pcie_ltssm_state_transition: dev: a40000000.pcie state: RCVRY_EQ2 rate: 8.0 GT/s
