The current driver does not support sampling. So "perf record" is unsupported.
Also attach to a task is unsupported for PCIe PMU.

2. Trigger filter
-Event statistics start when the first time TLP length is greater/smaller

-and set the trigger mode by writing "trig_mode". This filter can only be used
-in bandwidth events.
-For example, "trig_len=4" means trigger condition is 2^4 DW, "trig_mode=0"
-means statistics start when TLP length > trigger condition, "trig_mode=1"

+4. TLP Length filter
+
+ When counting bandwidth, the data can be composed of certain parts of TLP
+ packets. You can specify it through "len_mode":
+
+ - 2'b00: Reserved (Do not use this since the behaviour is undefined)
+ - 2'b01: Bandwidth of TLP payloads
+ - 2'b10: Bandwidth of TLP headers
+ - 2'b11: Bandwidth of both TLP payloads and headers
+
+ For example, "len_mode=2" means only counting the bandwidth of TLP headers
+ and "len_mode=3" means the final bandwidth data is composed of both TLP
+ headers and payloads. Default value if not specified is 2'b11.
