[RFC PATCH 1/4] powerpc/papr_scm: Fetch nvdimm performance stats from PHYP

Mon May 18 21:08:11 AEST 2020


Update papr_scm.c to query dimm performance statistics from PHYP via
H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS hcall and export them to userspace as PAPR
specific NVDIMM attribute 'perf_stats' in sysfs. The patch also
provide a sysfs ABI documentation for the stats being reported and
their meanings.

During NVDIMM probe time in papr_scm_nvdimm_init() a special variant
of H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS hcall is issued to check if collection of
performance statistics is supported or not. If yes then a per-nvdimm
performance stats buffer is of size as returned by PHYP is allocated
and stored along with its length in two newly introduced NVDIMM
private struct members 'perf_stats' and 'len_stat_buffer'.
