+======================================
+CXL Performance Monitoring Unit (CPMU)
+======================================
+
+The CXL rev 3.0 specification provides a definition of CXL Performance
+Monitoring Unit in section 13.2: Performance Monitoring.
+
+CXL components (e.g. Root Port, Switch Upstream Port, End Point) may have
+any number of CPMU instances. CPMU capabilities are fully discoverable from
+the devices. The specification provides event definitions for all CXL protocol
+message types and a set of additional events for things commonly counted on
+CXL devices (e.g. DRAM events).
+
+CPMU driver
+===========
+
+The CPMU driver registers a perf PMU with the name pmu_mem<X>.<Y> on the CXL bus
+representing the Yth CPMU for memX.
+
+ /sys/bus/cxl/device/pmu_mem<X>.<Y>
+
+The associated PMU is registered as
+
+ /sys/bus/event_sources/devices/cxl_pmu_mem<X>.<Y>
+
+In common with other CXL bus devices, the id has no specific meaning and the
+relationship to specific CXL device should be established via the device parent
+of the device on the CXL bus.
+
+PMU driver provides description of available events and filter options in sysfs.
+
+The "format" directory describes all formats of the config (event vendor id,
+group id and mask) config1 (threshold, filter enables) and config2 (filter
+parameters) fields of the perf_event_attr structure. The "events" directory
+describes all documented events show in perf list.
+
+The events shown in perf list are the most fine grained events with a single
+bit of the event mask set. More general events may be enable by setting
+multiple mask bits in config. For example, all Device to Host Read Requests
+may be captured on a single counter by setting the bits for all of
+
+* d2h_req_rdcurr
+* d2h_req_rdown
+* d2h_req_rdshared
+* d2h_req_rdany
+* d2h_req_rdownnodata
+
+Example of usage::
+
+ $#perf list
+ cxl_pmu_mem0.0/clock_ticks/ [Kernel PMU event]
+ cxl_pmu_mem0.0/d2h_req_rdshared/ [Kernel PMU event]
+ cxl_pmu_mem0.0/h2d_req_snpcur/ [Kernel PMU event]
+ cxl_pmu_mem0.0/h2d_req_snpdata/ [Kernel PMU event]
+ cxl_pmu_mem0.0/h2d_req_snpinv/ [Kernel PMU event]
+ -----------------------------------------------------------
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e cxl_pmu_mem0.0/clock_ticks/ -e cxl_pmu_mem0.0/d2h_req_rdshared/
+
+Vendor specific events may also be available and if so can be used via
+
+ $# perf stat -a -e cxl_pmu_mem0.0/vid=VID,gid=GID,mask=MASK/
+
+The driver does not support sampling so "perf record" is unsupported.
+It only supports system-wide counting so attaching to a task is
+unsupported.
