Peter Senna Tschudin 059802f961 cpupower: Remove redundant error check
Remove double checks, and move the call to print_error to the
first check. Replace break by return, and return 0 on success.
The simplified version of the coccinelle semantic patch that
fixes this issue is as follows:

// <smpl>

Himangi Saraogi 97fa1c5ca6 cpupower: mperf monitor: Correct use of ! and &
In commit ae91d60ba8, a bug was fixed that
involved converting !x & y to !(x & y).  The code below shows the same
pattern, and thus should perhaps be fixed in the same way.

The Coccinelle semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

Prarit Bhargava e091abc7f9 PM / tools: cpupower: add option to display values without round offs
The command "cpupower frequency-info" can be used when using cpupower to
monitor and test processor behaviour to determine if the processor is
behaving as expected.  This data can be compared to the output of
/proc/cpuinfo or the output of
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
to determine if the cpu is in an expected state.

When doing this I noticed comparison test failures due to the way the
data is displayed in cpupower.  For example,

[root@intel-s3e37-02 cpupower]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
2262000 2261000 2128000 1995000 1862000 1729000 1596000 1463000 1330000
1197000 1064000

compared to

[root@intel-s3e37-02 cpupower]# cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
  maximum transition latency: 10.0 us.
  hardware limits: 1.06 GHz - 2.26 GHz
  available frequency steps: 2.26 GHz, 2.26 GHz, 2.13 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.86 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.46 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1.20 GHz, 1.06 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 1.06 GHz and 2.26 GHz.
                  The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 2.26 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).
  boost state support:
    Supported: yes
    Active: yes

shows very different values for the available frequency steps.  The cpupower
output rounds off values at 2 decimal points and this causes problems with
test scripts.  For example, with the data above,

1.064 is 1.06
1.197 is 1.20
1.596 is 1.60
1.995 is 2.00
2.128 is 2.13

and most confusingly,

2.261 is 2.26
2.262 is 2.26

Truncating these values serves no real purpose other than making the output
pretty.  Since the default has been to round off these values I am adding
a -n/--no-rounding option to the cpupower utility that will display the
data without rounding off the still significant digits.

After patch,

  driver: acpi-cpufreq

Josh Boyer f447ef4a56 cpupower: Fix segfault due to incorrect getopt_long arugments
If a user calls 'cpupower set --perf-bias 15', the process will end with
a SIGSEGV in libc because cpupower-set passes a NULL optarg to the atoi
call.  This is because the getopt_long structure currently has all of
the options as having an optional_argument when they really have a
required argument.  We change the structure to use required_argument to
match the short options and it resolves the issue.

Thomas Renninger c8cfc3c6bf cpupower: Provide -c param for cpupower monitor to schedule process on all cores
If an MSR based monitor is run in parallel this is not needed. This is the
default case on all/most Intel machines.

But when only sysfs info is read via cpupower monitor -m Idle_Stats (typically
the case for non root users) or when other monitors are PCI based (AMD),
Idle_Stats, read from sysfs can be totally bogus:

cpupower monitor -m Idle_Stats
PKG |CORE|CPU | POLL | C1-N | C3-N | C6-N
   0|   0|   0|  0.00|  0.00|  0.24| 99.81
   0|   0|  32|  0.00|  0.00|  0.00| 100.7
...
   0|  17|  20|  0.00|  0.00|  0.00| 173.1
   0|  17|  52|  0.00|  0.00|  0.07| 173.0
   0|  18|  68|  0.00|  0.00|  0.00|  0.00
   0|  18|  76|  0.00|  0.00|  0.00|  0.00
...

With the -c option all cores are woken up and the kernel
did update cpuidle statistics before reading out sysfs.
This causes some overhead. Therefore avoid if possible, use
if needed:

cpupower monitor -c -m Idle_Stats
PKG |CORE|CPU | POLL | C1-N | C3-N | C6-N
   0|   0|   0|  0.00|  0.00|  0.00| 100.2
   0|   0|  32|  0.00|  0.00|  0.00| 100.2

Palmer Cox ea1021ffa6 cpupower tools: Fix warning and a bug with the cpu package count
The pkgs member of cpupower_topology is being used as the number of
cpu packages. As the comment in get_cpu_topology notes, the package ids
are not guaranteed to be contiguous. So, simply setting pkgs to the value
of the highest physical_package_id doesn't actually provide a count of
the number of cpu packages. Instead, calculate pkgs by setting it to
the number of distinct physical_packge_id values which is pretty easy
to do after the core_info structs are sorted. Calculating pkgs this
way also has the nice benefit of getting rid of a sign comparison warning
that GCC 4.6 was reporting.

Palmer Cox 35a169737c cpupower tools: Fix malloc of cpu_info structure
The cpu_info member of cpupower_topology was being declared as an unnamed
structure. This member was then being malloced using the size of the
parent cpupower_topology * the number of cpus. This works
because cpu_info is smaller than cpupower_topology. However, there is
no guarantee that will always be the case. Making cpu_info its own
top level structure (named cpuid_core_info) allows for mallocing the actual
size of this structure. This also lets us get rid of a redefinition of
the structure in topology.c with slightly different field names.

* The function was reading int valued sysfs variables and then returning

  of this function, a caller would not be able to tell an failure code apart
  from reading a negative value. This also conflicted with the comment on the

Peter Zijlstra 8e7fbcbc22 sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling remnants and dysfunctional knobs
It's been broken forever (i.e. it's not scheduling in a power
aware fashion), as reported by Suresh and others sending
patches, and nobody cares enough to fix it properly ...
so remove it to make space free for something better.

There's various problems with the code as it stands today, first
and foremost the user interface which is bound to topology
levels and has multiple values per level. This results in a
state explosion which the administrator or distro needs to
master and almost nobody does.

Furthermore large configuration state spaces aren't good, it
means the thing doesn't just work right because it's either
under so many impossibe to meet constraints, or even if
there's an achievable state workloads have to be aware of
it precisely and can never meet it for dynamic workloads.

So pushing this kind of decision to user-space was a bad idea
even with a single knob - it's exponentially worse with knobs
on every node of the topology.

There is a proposal to replace the user interface with a single
3 state knob:

 sched_balance_policy := { performance, power, auto }

where 'auto' would be the preferred default which looks at things
like Battery/AC mode and possible cpufreq state or whatever the hw
exposes to show us power use expectations - but there's been no
progress on it in the past many months.

Aside from that, the actual implementation of the various knobs
is known to be broken. There have been sporadic attempts at
fixing things but these always stop short of reaching a mergable
state.

Therefore this wholesale removal with the hopes of spurring
people who care to come forward once again and work on a
coherent replacement.

Assuming that CPU specific configuration PCI devices are always on domain

the desired PCI device passed looks like the most convenient way.

CPUs always get resorted for package, core then cpu id if it could get read out
(or however you name these topology levels...).
Still this is a nice way to keep the overview if a test binary is bound to
a specific CPU or if one wants to show all CPUs inside a package or similar.

Still missing: Do not measure not available cores to reduce the overhead
and achieve better results.

Thomas Renninger 7c74d2bc5a cpupower: Better detect offlined CPUs
Before, checking for offlined CPUs was done dirty and
it was checked whether topology parsing returned -1 values.
But this is a valid case on a Xen (and possibly other) kernels.

Do proper online/offline checking, also take CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
option into account (no /sys/devices/../cpuX/online file).

Thomas Renninger 2dfc818b35 cpupower: mperf monitor - Use TSC to calculate max frequency if possible
Which makes the implementation independent from cpufreq drivers.
Therefore this would also work on a Xen kernel where the hypervisor
is doing frequency switching and idle entering.

Thomas Renninger 029e9f7366 cpupower: Do detect IDA (opportunistic processor performance) via cpuid
IA32-Intel Devel guide Volume 3A - 14.3.2.1
-------------------------------------------
...
Opportunistic processor performance operation can be disabled by setting bit 38 of
IA32_MISC_ENABLES. This mechanism is intended for BIOS only. If
IA32_MISC_ENABLES[38] is set, CPUID.06H:EAX[1] will return 0.

Better detect things via cpuid, this cleans up the code a bit
and the MSR parts were not working correctly anyway.

Thomas Renninger 8fb2e440b2 cpupower: Show Intel turbo ratio support via ./cpupower frequency-info
This adds the last piece missing from turbostat (if called with -v).
It shows on Intel machines supporting Turbo Boost how many cores
have to be active/idle to enter which boost mode (frequency).

Whether the HW really enters these boost modes can be verified via
./cpupower monitor.

Dominik Brodowski af594f0ceb cpupowerutils: use kernel version-derived version string
As cpupowerutils is intended to be included into the kernel sources,
use the kernel versioning instead of a custom version.

The script utils/version-gen.sh is largely based on the script already
found in tools/perf/util/PERF-VERSION-GEN .

Dominik Brodowski 7fe2f6399a cpupowerutils - cpufrequtils extended with quite some features
CPU power consumption vs performance tuning is no longer
limited to CPU frequency switching anymore: deep sleep states,
traditional dynamic frequency scaling and hidden turbo/boost
frequencies are tied close together and depend on each other.
The first two exist on different architectures like PPC, Itanium and
ARM, the latter (so far) only on X86. On X86 the APU (CPU+GPU) will
only run most efficiently if CPU and GPU has proper power management
in place.

Users and Developers want to have *one* tool to get an overview what
their system supports and to monitor and debug CPU power management
in detail. The tool should compile and work on as many architectures
as possible.

Once this tool stabilizes a bit, it is intended to replace the
Intel-specific tools in tools/power/x86
