Intel Platform Monitoring Technology is meant to provide a common way to access telemetry and system metrics. Register mappings are not provided by the driver. Instead, a GUID is read from a header for each endpoint. The GUID identifies the device and is to be used with an XML, provided by the vendor, to discover the available set of metrics and their register mapping. This allows firmware updates to modify the register space without needing to update the driver every time with new mappings. Firmware writes a new GUID in this case to specify the new mapping. Software tools with access to the associated XML file can then interpret the changes. The module manages access to all Intel PMT endpoints on a system, independent of the device exporting them. It creates an intel_pmt class to manage the devices. For each telemetry endpoint, sysfs files provide GUID and size information as well as a pointer to the parent device the telemetry came from. Software may discover the association between endpoints and devices by iterating through the list in sysfs, or by looking for the existence of the class folder under the device of interest. A binary sysfs attribute of the same name allows software to then read or map the telemetry space for direct access.
