Some server users set limits on the uncore frequency using MSR 620H, while
running latency sensitive workloads. Here uncore frequency controls
RING/LLC(last-level cache) clocks.
But MSR control is not always possible from the user space, so this driver
provides a sysfs interface to set max and min frequency limits. This MSR
620H is a die scoped in multi-die system or package scoped in non multi-die
systems.
When this driver is loaded, a new directory is created under
/sys/devices/system/cpu.
For example on a two package Skylake server:
$cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_uncore_frequency
$ls
package_00_die_00 package_01_die_00
$ls package_00_die_00
max_freq_khz min_freq_khz initial_max_freq_khz
initial_min_freq_khz
$grep . *
max_freq_khz:2400000
min_freq_khz:1200000
initial_max_freq_khz:2400000
initial_min_freq_khz:1200000
Here, initial_max_freq_khz and initial_min_freq_khz are read only
attributes to show power up or initial values of max and min frequencies
respectively. Other attributes are read-write, so that users can modify.

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.
