13 Mode is intended to provide four I/O performance metrics per each PCIe
14 root port:
15
16 • Inbound Read - I/O devices below root port read from the host
17 memory, in MB
18
19 • Inbound Write - I/O devices below root port write to the host
20 memory, in MB
21
22 • Outbound Read - CPU reads from I/O devices below root port, in MB
23
24 • Outbound Write - CPU writes to I/O devices below root port, in MB
25
27 <command>...
28 Any command you can specify in a shell.
29
30 list
31 List all PCIe root ports.
32
33 <ports>
34 Select the root ports for monitoring. Comma-separated list is
35 supported.
36
38 1. List all PCIe root ports (example for 2-S platform):

40 $ perf iostat list
41 S0-uncore_iio_0<0000:00>
42 S1-uncore_iio_0<0000:80>
43 S0-uncore_iio_1<0000:17>
44 S1-uncore_iio_1<0000:85>
45 S0-uncore_iio_2<0000:3a>
46 S1-uncore_iio_2<0000:ae>
47 S0-uncore_iio_3<0000:5d>
48 S1-uncore_iio_3<0000:d7>
