Each DDR5 channel +is independent of others to service system memory requests. And one DDR5 +channel is split into two independent sub-channels. The DDR Sub-System Driveway +implements separate PMUs for each sub-channel to monitor various performance +metrics. + +The Driveway PMU devices are named as ali_drw_ with perf. +For example, ali_drw_21000 and ali_drw_21080 are two PMU devices for two +sub-channels of the same channel in die 0. And the PMU device of die 1 is +prefixed with ali_drw_400XXXXX, e.g. ali_drw_40021000. + +Each sub-channel has 36 PMU counters in total, which is classified into +four groups: + +- Group 0: PMU Cycle Counter. This group has one pair of counters + pmu_cycle_cnt_low and pmu_cycle_cnt_high, that is used as the cycle count + based on DDRC core clock. + +- Group 1: PMU Bandwidth Counters. This group has 8 counters that are used + to count the total access number of either the eight bank groups in a + selected rank, or four ranks separately in the first 4 counters. The base + transfer unit is 64B. + +- Group 2: PMU Retry Counters. This group has 10 counters, that intend to + count the total retry number of each type of uncorrectable error. + +- Group 3: PMU Common Counters. This group has 16 counters, that are used + to count the common events. + +For now, the Driveway PMU driver only uses counters in group 0 and group 3. + +The DDR Controller (DDRCTL) and DDR PHY combine to create a complete solution +for connecting an SoC application bus to DDR memory devices. The DDRCTL +receives transactions Host Interface (HIF) which is custom-defined by Synopsys. +These transactions are queued internally and scheduled for access while +satisfying the SDRAM protocol timing requirements, transaction priorities, and +dependencies between the transactions. The DDRCTL in turn issues commands on +the DDR PHY Interface (DFI) to the PHY module, which launches and captures data +to and from the SDRAM. The driveway PMUs have hardware logic to gather +statistics and performance logging signals on HIF, DFI, etc. + +By counting the READ, WRITE and RMW commands sent to the DDRC through the HIF +interface, we could calculate the bandwidth.
