perf: add NVIDIA Tegra410 C2C PMU

2026-03-24T12:37:33+00:00

Adds NVIDIA C2C PMU support in Tegra410 SOC. This PMU is used to measure memory latency between the SOC and device memory, e.g GPU Memory (GMEM), CXL Memory, or memory on remote Tegra410 SOC. Reviewed-by: Ilkka Koskinen Signed-off-by: Besar Wicaksono Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

perf: add NVIDIA Tegra410 CPU Memory Latency PMU

2026-03-24T12:37:32+00:00

Adds CPU Memory (CMEM) Latency PMU support in Tegra410 SOC. The PMU is used to measure latency between the edge of the Unified Coherence Fabric to the local system DRAM. Reviewed-by: Ilkka Koskinen Signed-off-by: Besar Wicaksono Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

perf/arm_cspmu: nvidia: Add Tegra410 PCIE-TGT PMU

2026-03-24T12:37:32+00:00

Adds PCIE-TGT PMU support in Tegra410 SOC. This PMU is instanced in each root complex in the SOC and it captures traffic originating from any source towards PCIE BAR and CXL HDM range. The traffic can be filtered based on the destination root port or target address range. Reviewed-by: Ilkka Koskinen Signed-off-by: Besar Wicaksono Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

perf/arm_cspmu: nvidia: Add Tegra410 PCIE PMU

2026-03-24T12:37:32+00:00

Adds PCIE PMU support in Tegra410 SOC. This PMU is instanced in each root complex in the SOC and can capture traffic from PCIE device to various memory types. This PMU can filter traffic based on the originating root port or BDF and the target memory types (CPU DRAM, GPU Memory, CXL Memory, or remote Memory).

perf/arm_cspmu: nvidia: Add Tegra410 UCF PMU

2026-03-24T12:37:32+00:00

The Unified Coherence Fabric (UCF) contains last level cache and cache coherent interconnect in Tegra410 SOC. The PMU in this device can be used to capture events related to access to the last level cache and memory from different sources.

perf/arm_cspmu: nvidia: Rename doc to Tegra241

2026-03-24T12:37:32+00:00

The documentation in nvidia-pmu.rst contains PMUs specific to NVIDIA Tegra241 SoC. Rename the file for this specific SoC to have better distinction with other NVIDIA SoC. Signed-off-by: Besar Wicaksono Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It has been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, with changes all over: - Bring the kernel memory-model docs into the Sphinx build in the "literal include" mode. - Lots of build-infrastructure work, further cleaning up long-term kernel-doc technical debt.

drivers/perf: hisi: Add tt_core_deprecated for compatibility

2025-09-25T12:51:59+00:00

Previously tt_core is defined as config1:0-7 which may not cover all the CPUs sharing L3C on platforms with more than 8 CPUs in a L3C. In order to support such platforms extend tt_core to 16 bits, since no spare space in config1, tt_core was moved to config2:0-15. Though linux expects the users to retrieve the control encoding from sysfs first for each option, it's possible if user doesn't follow this and hardcoded tt_core in config1. So add an option tt_core_deprecated for config1:0-7 for backward compatibility. Signed-off-by: Yicong Yang Signed-off-by: Will Deacon
