d30c4b7a87 tools/power turbostat: fit output into 80 columns on snb-ep
Reduce columns for package number to 1.
If you can afford more than 9 packages,
you can also afford a terminal with more than 80 columns:-)

Also shave a column also off the package C-states

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.

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.

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 .

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

d5532ee7b4 tools: create power/x86/x86_energy_perf_policy
MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS first became available on Westmere Xeon.
It is implemented in all Sandy Bridge processors -- mobile, desktop and server.
It is expected to become increasingly important in subsequent generations.

x86_energy_perf_policy is a user-space utility to set the
hardware energy vs performance policy hint in the processor.
Most systems would benefit from "x86_energy_perf_policy normal"
at system startup, as the hardware default is maximum performance
at the expense of energy efficiency.

See x86_energy_perf_policy.8 man page for more information.

Background:

Linux-2.6.36 added "epb" to /proc/cpuinfo to indicate
if an x86 processor supports MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS,
without actually modifying the MSR.

In March, 2010, Venkatesh Pallipadi proposed a small driver
that programmed MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, based on
the cpufreq governor in use.  It also offered
a boot-time cmdline option to override.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/4/457
But hiding the hardware policy behind the
governor choice was deemed "kinda icky".

In June, 2010, I proposed a generic user/kernel API to
generalize the power/performance policy trade-off.
"RFC: /sys/power/policy_preference"
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/16/399
That is my preference for implementing this capability,
but I received no support on the list.

So in September, 2010, I sent x86_energy_perf_policy.c to LKML,
a user-space utility that scribbles directly to the MSR.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/28/246

Here is that same utility, after responding to some review feedback,
to live in tools/power/, where it is easily found.

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.
