Activity Monitors
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
FEAT_AMUv1 of the Armv8-A architecture introduces the Activity Monitors
|
||||
extension. This extension describes the architecture for the Activity Monitor
|
||||
Unit (|AMU|), an optional non-invasive component for monitoring core events
|
||||
through a set of 64-bit counters.
|
||||
|
||||
When the ``ENABLE_AMU=1`` build option is provided, Trusted Firmware-A sets up
|
||||
the |AMU| prior to its exit from EL3, and will save and restore architected
|
||||
|AMU| counters as necessary upon suspend and resume.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _Activity Monitor Auxiliary Counters:
|
||||
|
||||
Auxiliary counters
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FEAT_AMUv1 describes a set of implementation-defined auxiliary counters (also
|
||||
known as group 1 counters), controlled by the ``ENABLE_AMU_AUXILIARY_COUNTERS``
|
||||
build option.
|
||||
|
||||
As a security precaution, Trusted Firmware-A does not enable these by default.
|
||||
Instead, platforms may configure their auxiliary counters through one of two
|
||||
possible mechanisms:
|
||||
|
||||
- |FCONF|, controlled by the ``ENABLE_AMU_FCONF`` build option.
|
||||
- A platform implementation of the ``plat_amu_topology`` function (the default).
|
||||
|
||||
See :ref:`Activity Monitor Unit (AMU) Bindings` for documentation on the |FCONF|
|
||||
device tree bindings.
