How to get the physical address with Bus, Device, Function, and Offset












2















I want to make a kernel module that read the DRAM counters to get the number of data read from DRAM (https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/monitoring-integrated-memory-controller-requests-in-the-2nd-3rd-and-4th-generation-intel).



In that page, they say




"The BAR is available (in PCI configuration space) at Bus 0; Device 0; Function 0; Offset 048H", and UNC_IMC_DRAM_DATA_READS, which I want to read, is on "BAR + 0x5050".




Does it mean that I can get the physical address of DRAM Counter by typing



    sudo setpci 00:00:0 48.L 


and then + 0x5050 to get the address where the UNC_IMC_DRAM_DATA_READS?



Actually,



    sudo setpci 00:00:0 48.L


outputs



    fed10001


, and I accessed 0xfed15051 with busybox.



    sudo busybox devmem 0xfed15051


However, the two leftmost bit, I mean "00" in 0x00123456, are always zero.



What was wrong, and how can I get the physical address correctly with Bus, Device, Function, and Offset.



Thank you :)

  • Bit 0 of the BAR is probably a flag, not part of the address. Try fed15050.

The low bit is an enable bit and should be excluded from the address you use. See for example https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/xeon-e3-1200v6-vol-2-datasheet.pdf (section 3.12 page # 57) -- where it's documented as the MCHBAREN flag.



This document also provides detailed register descriptions of the same registers mentioned in that tech note -- starting at section 7.43 page # 202.



In general, accesses to PCI registers are pretty much always done on 32-bit (DWORD) boundaries. You'll almost never find a counter that overlaps 32-bit words.
