cpupower: Fix segfault due to incorrect getopt_long arugments

2013-12-17T19:29:30Z

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.

tools: cpupower: fix wrong err msg not supported vs not available

2013-11-25T22:10:50Z

idlestates in sysfs are counted from 0. This fixes a wrong error message. Current behavior on a machine with 4 sleep states is: cpupower idle-set -e 4 Idlestate 4 enabled on CPU 0 -----Wrong--------------------- cpupower idle-set -e 5 Idlestate enabling not supported by kernel -----Must and now will be ----- cpupower idle-set -e 5 Idlestate 6 not available on CPU 0 ------------------------------- cpupower idle-set -e 6 Idlestate 6 not available on CPU 0 Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

tools: cpupower: Add cpupower-idle-set(1) manpage

2013-11-25T22:10:50Z

The cpupower idle-set subcommand was introduce recently. This patch provides the missing manpage. If cpupower is properly installed it will show up automatically (similar to git), when invoking: cpupower help idle-set or cpupower idle-set --help Some parts have been taken over and adjusted from git commit 62d6ae880e3e76098 documentation submitted by Carsten Emde.

tools / power turbostat: Support Silvermont

2013-11-12T22:16:02Z

Support the next generation Intel Atom processor mirco-architecture, formerly called Silvermont. The server version, formerly called "Avoton", is named the "Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor C2000 Product Family". The client version, formerly called "Bay Trail", is named the "Intel Atom Processor Z3000 Series", as well as various "Intel Pentium Processor" and "Intel Celeron Processor" brands, depending on form-factor. Silvermont has a set of MSRs not far off from NHM, but the RAPL register set is a sub-set of those previously supported. Signed-off-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpupower: Add Haswell family 0x45 specific idle monitor to show PC8,9,10 states

2013-07-04T23:52:19Z

This specific processor supports 3 new package sleep states. Provide a monitor, so that the user can see their usage. Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpupower: Haswell also supports the C-states introduced with SandyBridge

2013-07-04T23:52:19Z

Add Haswell model numbers to snb_register() as it also supports the C-states introduced in SandyBridge processors. [rjw: Changelog] Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpupower: Introduce idle-set subcommand and C-state enabling/disabling

2013-07-04T23:52:19Z

Example: cpupower idle-set -d 3 will disable C-state 3 on all processors (set commands are active on all CPUs by default), same as: cpupower -c all idle-set -d 3 Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpupower: Implement disabling of cstate interface

2013-07-04T23:52:19Z

Latest kernel allows to disable C-states via: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateY/disable This patch provides lower level sysfs access functions to make use of this interface. A later patch will implement the higher level stuff. Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpupower: Make idlestate usage unsigned

2013-07-04T23:52:19Z

Use unsigned int as the data type for some variables related to CPU idle states which allows the code to be simplified slightly. [rjw: Changelog] Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

turbostat: Increase output buffer size to accommodate C8-C10

2013-06-13T16:55:56Z

On platforms with C8-C10 support, the additional C-states cause turbostat to overrun its output buffer of 128 bytes per CPU. Increase this to 256 bytes per CPU. [ As a bugfix, this should go into 3.10; however, since the C8-C10 support didn't go in until after 3.9, this need not go into any stable kernel. ] Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett Cc: Len Brown Cc: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
