.Sh NAME
.Nm uperf
.Nd performance counters driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "uperf* at psycho?"
.Cd "uperf* at sbus? slot ? offset ?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Some UltraSPARC host bridges provide performance counters.
On PCI machines, the performance counters are a part of the
PCI host bridge, and on SBUS machines, the counters are
a part of the system controller chip (usc or dsc).
The
.Nm
driver provides access to these counters via
.Xr ioctl 2 .
.Sh IOCTLS
All of the ioctl calls supported by the
.Nm
driver take the following structure as an argument:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
struct uperf_io {
int cnt_flags;
int cnt_src0;
int cnt_src1;
u_int32_t cnt_val0;
u_int32_t cnt_val1;
};
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Fa cnt_flags
field specifies which counters are being operated on and is a bit mask
of
.Fa UPERF_CNT0
and/or
.Fa UPERF_CNT1 .
.Pp
The
.Fa cnt_src0
and
.Fa cnt_src1
fields specify the source for the counter
Not all counters support monitoring all sources and specifying an invalid
source for a counter to monitor will result in an error.
The sources are specified below:
.Pp
.Bl -column "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" "description" -offset indent
.It Em UPERFSRC_SYSCK Ta "system clock ticks"
.It Em UPERFSRC_PRALL Ta "all p-requests"

.El
.Pp
The
.Fa cnt_val0
and
.Fa cnt_val1
contain the values fetched for the counters.
Software using this interface should be prepared to handle the counters rolling over.
.Pp
The
A
.Nm
device responds to the following
.Xr ioctl 2
calls, which are defined in
.Aq Pa dev/sun/uperfio.h .
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width UPIO_GCNTSRC
.It Dv UPIO_GCNTSRC
.Pq Li "struct uperf_io"
Retrieve the source the counters are monitoring.
The
.Fa cnt_flags
is a bit mask for which of the counters is to be fetched.
The result is returned in
.Fa cnt_src0
and/or
.Fa cnt_src1 .
.It Dv UPIO_SCNTSRC
.Pq Li "struct uperf_io"
Set the source the counters should monitor.
This call also clears the current value of the counters that are set.
The
.Fa cnt_flags
is a bit mask for which of the counters is to be set.
The
.Fa cnt_src0
and/or
.Fa cnt_src1
fields specify the source to be set for the respective counter.
.It Dv UPIO_CLRCNT
.Pq Li "struct uperf_io"
Clear the counters specified in
.Fa cnt_flags .
.It Dv UPIO_CLRCNT
.Pq Li "struct uperf_io"
Retrieve the value for the counters specified in
.Fa cnt_flags .
The values are returned in
.Fa cnt_val0
and/or
.Fa cnt_val1 .
