[RFC v2 1/4] drivers/nvdimm: Add perf interface to expose nvdimm performance stats

Tue May 25 23:22:13 AEST 2021


Patch adds performance stats reporting support for nvdimm.
Added interface includes support for pmu register/unregister
functions. A structure is added called nvdimm_pmu to be used for
adding arch/platform specific data such as supported events and pmu
event functions like event_init/add/read/del.
User could use the standard perf tool to access perf
events exposed via pmu.
