Subject: [PATCH 07/13] Documentation: perf: stm32: add ddrperfm support

The DDRPERFM is the DDR Performance Monitor embedded in STM32MPU SoC.

This documentation introduces the DDRPERFM, the stm32-ddr-pmu driver
supporting it and how to use it with the perf tool.

+========================================
+STM32 DDR Performance Monitor (DDRPERFM)
+========================================
+
+The DDRPERFM is the DDR Performance Monitor embedded in STM32MPU SoC.
+The DDR controller provides events to DDRPERFM, once selected they are counted in the DDRPERFM
+peripheral.
+
+In MP1 family, the DDRPERFM is able to count 4 different events at the same time.
+However, the 4 events must belong to the same set.
+One hardware counter is dedicated to the time counter, `time_cnt`.
+
+In MP2 family, the DDRPERFM is able to select between 44 different DDR events.
+As for MP1, there is a dedicated hardware counter for the time.
+It is incremented every 4 DDR clock cycles.
+All the other counters can be freely allocated to count any other DDR event.
+
+The stm32-ddr-pmu driver relies on the perf PMU framework to expose the counters via sysfs:
+
+On MP1:
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        $ ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/stm32_ddr_pmu/events/
+        cactive_ddrc                 perf_lpr_req_with_no_credit  perf_op_is_wr
+        ctl_idle                     perf_lpr_xact_when_critical  perf_selfresh_mode
+        dfi_lp_req                   perf_op_is_activate          perf_wr_xact_when_critical
+        dfi_lp_req_cpy               perf_op_is_enter_powerdown   time_cnt
+        perf_hpr_req_with_no_credit  perf_op_is_rd
+        perf_hpr_xact_when_critical  perf_op_is_refresh
+
+On MP2:
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        $ ls /sys/bus/event_source/devices/stm32_ddr_pmu/events/
+        dfi_is_act       perf_hpr_req_with_nocredit   perf_op_is_spec_ref
+        dfi_is_mpc       perf_hpr_xact_when_critical  perf_op_is_wr

+        dfi_is_mwr       perf_op_is_act               perf_raw_hazard
+        dfi_is_mwra      perf_op_is_crit_ref          perf_rdwr_transitions
+        dfi_is_preab     perf_op_is_enter_powdn       perf_read_bypass
+        dfi_is_prepb     perf_op_is_enter_selfref     perf_war_hazard
+        dfi_is_rd        perf_op_is_mwr               perf_waw_hazard
+        dfi_is_rda       perf_op_is_pre               perf_window_limit_reached_rd
+        dfi_is_refab     perf_op_is_pre_for_others    perf_window_limit_reached_wr
+        dfi_is_refpb     perf_op_is_pre_for_rdwr      perf_wr_xact_when_critical
+        dfi_is_wr        perf_op_is_rd                time_cnt
+        dfi_is_wra       perf_op_is_rd_activate
+        perf_act_bypass  perf_op_is_ref
+
+
+The perf PMU framework is usually invoked via the 'perf stat' tool.
+
+
+Example:
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        $ perf stat --timeout 60000 -e stm32_ddr_pmu/dfi_is_act/,\
+        > stm32_ddr_pmu/dfi_is_rd/,\
+        > stm32_ddr_pmu/dfi_is_wr/,\
+        > stm32_ddr_pmu/dfi_is_refab/,\
+        > stm32_ddr_pmu/dfi_is_mrw/,\
+        > stm32_ddr_pmu/dfi_is_rda/,\
+        > stm32_ddr_pmu/dfi_is_wra/,\
+        > stm32_ddr_pmu/dfi_is_mrr/,\
+        > stm32_ddr_pmu/time_cnt/ \
+        > -a sleep 5
+
+         Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
+
+                    481025      stm32_ddr_pmu/dfi_is_act/
