dd778a5e6b tools/power turbostat: support "--hide C1" etc.
Originally, the only way to hide the sysfs C-state statistics columns
was with "--hide sysfs".  This was because we process "--hide" before
we probe for those columns.

hack --hide to remember deferred hide requests, and apply
them when sysfs is probed.

"--hide sysfs" is still available as short-hand to refer to
the entire group of counters.

The down-side of this change is that we no longer error check for
bogus --hide column names.  But the user will quickly figure that
out if a column they mean to hide is still there...

41618e63f2 tools/power turbostat: print sysfs C-state stats
When turbostat shows % of time in a CPU idle power state,
it has always been showing information from underlying
hardware residency counters.

While this reflects what the hardware is doing, and is thus
useful for understanding the hardware,
it doesn't directly tell us what Linux requested --
which is useful for tuning Linux itself.

Here we add columns to turbostat to show the
Linux cpuidle sub-system statistics:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpuidle/state*/*

The first group of columns are the "usage", which is the
number of times software requested that C-state in the
measurement interval. eg C1 below.

The second group of columns are the "time", which is the percentage
of the measurement interval time that software has requested
the specified C-state. eg C1% below.

These software counters can be compared to the underlying
hardware residency counters (eg CPU%c1	CPU%c3	CPU%c6	CPU%c7)
to compare what sofware requested to what the hardware delivered.

These sysfs attributes are discovered when turbostat starts,
rather than being "built in".  So the --show and --hide
parameters do not know about these dynamic column names.
However "--show sysfs" and "--hide sysfs" act on the
entire group of columns:

turbostat --show sysfs

96e4715857 tools/power turbostat: print system config, unless --quiet
Some users want turbostat to tell them everything, by default.
Some users want turbostat to be quiet, by default.

I find that I'm in the 1st camp, and so I've never liked
needing to type the --debug parameter to decode the system
configuration.

So here we change the default and print the system configuration,
by default.  (The --debug option is now un-documented, though
it does still exist for debugging turbostat internals)

When you do not want to see the system configuration
header, use the new "--quiet" option.

6886fee4d7 tools/power turbostat: remove obsolete -M, -m, -C, -c options
The new --add option has replaced the -M, -m, -C, -c options
Eg.

-M 0x10 is now --add msr0x10,raw
-m 0x10 is now --add msr0x10,raw,u32
-C 0x10 is now --add msr0x10,delta
-c 0x10 is now --add msr0x10,delta,u32

The --add option can be repeated to add any number of counters,
while the previous options were limited to adding one of each type.

In addition, the --add option can accept a column label,
and can also display a counter as a percentage of elapsed cycles.

Eg. --add msr0x3fe,core,percent,MY_CC3

fc04cc67ea tools/power turbostat: simplify output, add Avg_MHz
Use 8 columns for each number ouput.
We don't fit into 80 columns on most machines,
so keep the format simple.

Print frequency in MHz instead of GHz.
We've got 8 columns now, so use them to
show low frequency in a more natural unit.

Many users didn't understand what %c0 meant,
so re-name it to be %Busy.

Add Avg_MHz column, which is the frequency that many
users expect to see -- the total number of cycles executed
over the measurement interval.

People found the previous GHz to be confusing, since
it was the speed only over the non-idle interval.
That measurement has been re-named Bzy_MHz.

889facbee3 tools/power turbostat: v3.0: monitor Watts and Temperature
Show power in Watts and temperature in Celsius
when hardware support is present.

Intel's Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processor generations support RAPL
(Run-Time-Average-Power-Limiting).  Per the Intel SDM
(Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer Manual)
RAPL provides hardware energy counters and power control MSRs
(Model Specific Registers).  RAPL MSRs are designed primarily
as a method to implement power capping.  However, they are useful
for monitoring system power whether or not power capping is used.

In addition, Turbostat now shows temperature from DTS
(Digital Thermal Sensor) and PTM (Package Thermal Monitor) hardware,
if present.

As before, turbostat reads MSRs, and never writes MSRs.

New columns are present in turbostat output:

The Pkg_W column shows Watts for each package (socket) in the system.
On multi-socket systems, the system summary on the 1st row shows the sum
for all sockets together.

The Cor_W column shows Watts due to processors cores.
Note that Core_W is included in Pkg_W.

The optional GFX_W column shows Watts due to the graphics "un-core".
Note that GFX_W is included in Pkg_W.

The optional RAM_W column on server processors shows Watts due to DRAM DIMMS.
As DRAM DIMMs are outside the processor package, RAM_W is not included in Pkg_W.

The optional PKG_% and RAM_% columns on server processors shows the % of time
in the measurement interval that RAPL power limiting is in effect on the
package and on DRAM.

Note that the RAPL energy counters have some limitations.

First, hardware updates the counters about once every milli-second.
This is fine for typical turbostat measurement intervals > 1 sec.
However, when turbostat is used to measure events that approach
1ms, the counters are less useful.

Second, the 32-bit energy counters are subject to wrapping.
For example, a counter incrementing 15 micro-Joule units
on a 130 Watt TDP server processor could (in theory)
roll over in about 9 minutes.  Turbostat detects and handles
up to 1 counter overflow per measurement interval.
But when the measurement interval exceeds the guaranteed
counter range, we can't detect if more than 1 overflow occured.
So in this case turbostat indicates that the results are
in question by replacing the fractional part of the Watts
in the output with "**":

Pkg_W  Cor_W GFX_W
  3**    0**   0**

Third, the RAPL counters are energy (Joule) counters -- they sum up
weighted events in the package to estimate energy consumed.  They are
not analong power (Watt) meters.  In practice, they tend to under-count
because they don't cover every possible use of energy in the package.
The accuracy of the RAPL counters will vary between product generations,
and between SKU's in the same product generation, and with temperature.

turbostat's -v (verbose) option now displays more power and thermal configuration
information -- as shown on the turbostat.8 manual page.
For example, it now displays the Package and DRAM Thermal Design Power (TDP):

cpu0: MSR_PKG_POWER_INFO: 0x2f064001980410 (130 W TDP, RAPL 51 - 200 W, 0.045898 sec.)
cpu0: MSR_DRAM_POWER_INFO,: 0x28025800780118 (35 W TDP, RAPL 15 - 75 W, 0.039062 sec.)
cpu8: MSR_PKG_POWER_INFO: 0x2f064001980410 (130 W TDP, RAPL 51 - 200 W, 0.045898 sec.)
cpu8: MSR_DRAM_POWER_INFO,: 0x28025800780118 (35 W TDP, RAPL 15 - 75 W, 0.039062 sec.)

c98d5d9444 tools/power: turbostat v2 - re-write for efficiency
Measuring large profoundly-idle configurations
requires turbostat to be more lightweight.
Otherwise, the operation of turbostat itself
can interfere with the measurements.

This re-write makes turbostat topology aware.
Hardware is accessed in "topology order".
Redundant hardware accesses are deleted.
Redundant output is deleted.
Also, output is buffered and
local RDTSC use replaces remote MSR access for TSC.

From a feature point of view, the output
looks different since redundant figures are absent.
Also, there are now -c and -p options -- to restrict
output to the 1st thread in each core, and the 1st
thread in each package, respectively.  This is helpful
to reduce output on big systems, where more detail
than the "-s" system summary is desired.
Finally, periodic mode output is now on stdout, not stderr.

Turbostat v2 is also slightly more robust in
handling run-time CPU online/offline events,
as it now checks the actual map of on-line cpus rather
than just the total number of on-line cpus.

103a8fea9b tools: create power/x86/turbostat
turbostat is a Linux tool to observe proper operation
of Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology.

turbostat displays the actual processor frequency
on x86 processors that include APERF and MPERF MSRs.

Note that turbostat is of limited utility on Linux
kernels 2.6.29 and older, as acpi_cpufreq cleared
APERF/MPERF up through that release.

On Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Nehalem) and newer processors,
turbostat also displays residency in idle power saving states,
which are necessary for diagnosing any cpuidle issues
that may have an effect on turbo-mode.

See the turbostat.8 man page for example usage.
