Subject: [PATCH 5/6] perf header: Support memory ranges
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 17:17:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709221736.33446-6-thomas.falcon@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709221736.33446-1-thomas.falcon@intel.com>
Memory ranges were created to track different types of memory,
such as persistent, high bandwidth, or CXL-attached, that may
be present on a system for performance monitoring and resource
control purposes.
Memory range data are parsed from the ACPI MRRM table and exposed
to userspace tools via sysfs [1]. Memory range data is read from:
/sys/firmware/acpi/memory_ranges/rangeX
With the following attributes:
u64 base;
u64 length;
int node;
u8 local_region_id;
u8 remote_region_id;
Read memory range data from sysfs if present and save it in
the header of the perf data file under a new feature bit,
HEADER_MEMORY_RANGES (35). Memory range data can be viewed with the
--header or --header-only options of perf-report and perf-script.
