Description: Discover cpuidle policy and mechanism
|
|
|
|
Various CPUs today support multiple idle levels that are
|
|
differentiated by varying exit latencies and power
|
|
consumption during idle.
|
|
|
|
Idle policy (governor) is differentiated from idle mechanism
|
|
(driver)
|
|
|
|
current_driver: (RO) displays current idle mechanism
|
|
|
|
current_governor_ro: (RO) displays current idle policy
|
|
|
|
With the cpuidle_sysfs_switch boot option enabled (meant for
|
|
developer testing), the following three attributes are visible
|
|
instead:
|
|
|
|
current_driver: same as described above
|
|
|
|
available_governors: (RO) displays a space separated list of
|
|
available governors
|
|
|
|
current_governor: (RW) displays current idle policy. Users can
|
|
switch the governor at runtime by writing to this file.

(RW) Option to disable this idle state (bool). The behavior and

the effect of the disable variable depends on the implementation

of a particular governor. In the ladder governor, for example,
|
|
it is not coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state, then
|
|
all deeper states are disabled as well, but the disable variable
|
|
does not reflect it. Likewise, if one enables a deep state but a
|
|
lighter state still is disabled, then this has no effect.

Clock scaling allows you to change the clock speed of the

Description: Discover CPUs in the same CPU frequency coordination domain
|

|
|
freqdomain_cpus is the list of CPUs (online+offline) that share

|
the same clock/freq domain (possibly at the hardware level).
|
|
That information may be hidden from the cpufreq core and the
|
|
value of related_cpus may be different from freqdomain_cpus. This
|
|
attribute is useful for user space DVFS controllers to get better
|
|
power/performance results for platforms using acpi-cpufreq.

Description: Disable L3 cache indices
|
|
|
|
These files exist in every CPU's cache/index3 directory. Each
|
|
cache_disable_{0,1} file corresponds to one disable slot which
|
|
can be used to disable a cache index. Reading from these files
|
|
on a processor with this functionality will return the currently
|
|
disabled index for that node. There is one L3 structure per
|
|
node, or per internal node on MCM machines. Writing a valid
|
|
index to one of these files will cause the specificed cache
|
|
index to be disabled.
|
|
|
|
All AMD processors with L3 caches provide this functionality.

Description: Cache id
|
|
|
|
The id provides a unique number for a specific instance of
|
|
a cache of a particular type. E.g. there may be a level
|
|
3 unified cache on each socket in a server and we may
|
|
assign them ids 0, 1, 2, ...
|
|
|
|
Note that id value can be non-contiguous. E.g. level 1
|
|
caches typically exist per core, but there may not be a
|
|
power of two cores on a socket, so these caches may be
|
|
numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, ...

Description: POWERNV CPUFreq driver's frequency throttle stats directory and
|
|
attributes
|
|
|
|
'cpuX/cpufreq/throttle_stats' directory contains the CPU frequency
|
|
throttle stat attributes for the chip. The throttle stats of a cpu
|
|
is common across all the cpus belonging to a chip. Below are the
|
|
throttle attributes exported in the 'throttle_stats' directory:
|
|
|
|
- turbo_stat : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled to lower frequency in turbo (at and above
|
|
nominal frequency) range of frequencies.
|
|
|
|
- sub_turbo_stat : This file gives the total number of times the
|
|
max frequency is throttled to lower frequency in sub-turbo(below
|
|
nominal frequency) range of frequencies.
|
|
|
|
- unthrottle : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is unthrottled after being throttled.
|
|
|
|
- powercap : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled due to 'Power Capping'.
|
|
|
|
- overtemp : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled due to 'CPU Over Temperature'.
|
|
|
|
- supply_fault : This file gives the total number of times the
|
|
max frequency is throttled due to 'Power Supply Failure'.
|
|
|
|
- overcurrent : This file gives the total number of times the
|
|
max frequency is throttled due to 'Overcurrent'.
|
|
|
|
- occ_reset : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled due to 'OCC Reset'.
|
|
|
|
The sysfs attributes representing different throttle reasons like
|
|
powercap, overtemp, supply_fault, overcurrent and occ_reset map to
|
|
the reasons provided by OCC firmware for throttling the frequency.

|
state of the CPUs in the system. Possible output values:
|
|
|
|
"Not affected" CPU is not affected by the vulnerability
|
|
"Vulnerable" CPU is affected and no mitigation in effect
|
|
"Mitigation: $M" CPU is affected and mitigation $M is in effect

Description: Intel Energy and Performance Bias Hint (EPB)
|
|
|
|
EPB for the given CPU in a sliding scale 0 - 15, where a value
|
|
of 0 corresponds to a hint preference for highest performance
|
|
and a value of 15 corresponds to the maximum energy savings.
|
|
|
|
In order to change the EPB value for the CPU, write either
|
|
a number in the 0 - 15 sliding scale above, or one of the
|
|
strings: "performance", "balance-performance", "normal",
|
|
"balance-power", "power" (that represent values reflected by
|
|
their meaning), to this attribute.
|
|
|
|
This attribute is present for all online CPUs supporting the
|
|
Intel EPB feature.
