Thank you :)

I am afraid, yes. The perf tool can not parse "b:d.f" format,

Each instance has different BDF, so IMHO, it will not result name collision.

    #ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ | grep dwc
    dwc_rootport_0
    dwc_rootport_10
    dwc_rootport_1000
    dwc_rootport_18
    dwc_rootport_3000
    dwc_rootport_3008
    dwc_rootport_3010
    dwc_rootport_3018
    dwc_rootport_8
    dwc_rootport_8000
    dwc_rootport_9800
    dwc_rootport_9808
    dwc_rootport_9810
    dwc_rootport_9818
    dwc_rootport_b000

I used to use `dwc_rootport_300300` in v1, the subfix is kind of "b:d.f"
format created by:

	+#define DWC_PCIE_CREATE_BDF(seg, bus, dev, func)	\
	+	(((seg) << 24) | (((bus) & 0xFF) << 16) | (((dev) & 0xFF) << 8) | (func))

But Robin and Jonathan suggested to use the standard bdf address. Are you
ask me to change back? I would like to check back :)

I will PMU_FORMAT_ATTR to simplify format sysfs stuff, thank you.

perf_pmu_events_attr is quite simple and only one `id` filed, I have to
extend a `type` filed to distinguish two types (DWC_PCIE_LANE_EVENT,
DWC_PCIE_TIME_BASE_EVENT) of DWC PMU, so I will not use PMU_EVENT_ATTR().

Agreed, I will add a separate patch to move pci_clear_and_set_dword() out
of aspm.c and then use it to simplify these two _enable() functions.

I looked all drivers in kernel which use similar trick, but did not find
example implementation.

Do we really need it?

Quite beautiful, will fix it.

Will fix it.

Agreed, will dispatch separately if more types are added in the future.

Good catch, I will sanitise it in dwc_pcie_pmu_event_init().

Sorry, I haven't. I will spin before a new version sended.

Aha, I used to. Robin complained that the helpers were already confusing enough
so warp out control register configuration from sub-function to .add().

The hotplug callball also try to pick up the PMU to unregister, but if
the PMU is already unregistered here, pcie_pmu->registered will be set as
false, so the PMU will not unregistered again.

So, I think pcie_pmu->registered is some kind of lock? Please correct me if
I missed anything else.

Yes, they are a bit complex.

The event triggers of the above three parts of PMU, CPU and PCI device are
quite independent,

 - Driver loading/unloading: the lifetime of platform device
	insmod/rmmod module of this driver
 - CPU hotplug events:
	echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
	echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
 - PCI device add/del events (a.k.a PCI hotplug events), e.g
	echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:30\:02.0/remove
	echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan

The lifecycles of PMU, CPU, and PCI devices have mutual influence on each other.

1. The CPU hotplug just as other PMUs in drivers/perf, let's talk about it
   first.

   The PMU context is binded to a CPU picked from the same NUMA node of PCI
   device, so if the picked CPU is offlined at runtime, we need to migate
   the context to another local online CPU in the same NUMA node.

2. The Driver loading/unloading is independent, for exmaple, rmmod module
   if not built in or unbinds the driver. Then all PMUs of PCI device will
   be unregistered as expected, and the PCI device is not affected.

3. The PMU holds the PCI device to which it belongs, so that it can access
   the PCI DES capability. If the PCI device is unplugged at runtime, the
   PMU should also be unregistered.  It's the basic idea suggested by
   @Yicong, just as x86 does in uncore_bus_notify().

The problem here is that we need to do that fundamental redesign of the
way the PCI ports drivers work so that the PCIe VSEC/DVSEC capability, e.g
RAS_DES PMU here could probe and remove, hotplug and unhotplug more gracefully.
I think we have discussed the current limitation in the previous version[1].

I discussed with @Jonathan about the probe flow. Jonathan prefers the standard driver
creation/probe flow. What's your opinion?

If you are happy with the current implementation flow, I will just add a comment.

Of course, at least it depends on
	- pci_driver_init called by postcore_initcall, early order 2
	- acpi_pci_init called by arch_initcall, early order 3

so I think module_init called by device_initcall, early order 6 is ok?
