Hi Joerg,
I didn't want to expose the internals of the IOMMU, so I
decided to export the function(s) so that the perf IOMMUv2 PMU can make call(s)
into the IOMMU core to request PC resources. The perf_event_amd_iommuv2.h
defines the prototype for the added PC functionality. I have the perf IOMMUv2
PMU working and counting IOMMUv2 PC events using this interface, but if you
have a suggestion to make this implementation more robust, I will accommodate
the suggestion. Also, if it would be helpful, I can submit the perf IOMMUv2
PMU patches.
BTW, I am resubmitting this patch since I caught a function signature error;
was changing the code based on Boris's suggestion(s) and forgot to add the
variable type (bool) concerning the 'is_write' parameter.
Hope all is well with you and the team; we miss you guys!
Regards,
Steve

How can the counters be used?
