Linux only has support to read total DDR reads and writes. Here we
add support to enable bandwidth breakdown-GT, IA and IO. Breakdown
of BW is important to debug and optimize memory access. This can also
be used for telemetry and improving the system software.The offsets for
GT, IA and IO are added and these free running counters can be accessed
via MMIO space.
The BW breakdown can be measured using the following cmd:
perf stat -e uncore_imc/gt_requests/,uncore_imc/ia_requests/,uncore_imc/io_requests/
30.57 MiB uncore_imc/gt_requests/
1346.13 MiB uncore_imc/ia_requests/
190.97 MiB uncore_imc/io_requests/
5.984572733 seconds time elapsed
BW/s = <gt,ia,io>_requests/time elapsed

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
