55f1f545f7 tools: Allow tools to be installed in a user specified location
When building x86_energy_perf_policy or turbostat within the confines of
a packaging system such as RPM, we need to be able to have it install to
the buildroot and not the root filesystem of the build machine.  This
adds a DESTDIR variable that when set will act as a prefix for the
install location of these tools.

ee0778a301 tools/power: turbostat: make Makefile a bit more capable
The turbostat Makefile is pretty simple, its output is placed in the
same directory as the source, the install rule has no concept of a
prefix or sysroot, and you can set CC to use a specific compiler but
not use the more familiar CROSS_COMPILE. By making a few minor changes
these limitations are removed while leaving the default behavior
matching what it used to be.

Example build with these changes:
make CROSS_COMPILE=i686-wrs-linux-gnu- DESTDIR=/tmp install

or from the tools directory
make CROSS_COMPILE=i686-wrs-linux-gnu- DESTDIR=/tmp turbostat_install

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
(IntelĀ® 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.)

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

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.

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.

53d2000ebe cpupower tools: Fix issues with sysfs_topology_read_file
Fix a variety of issues with sysfs_topology_read_file:
* The return value of sysfs_topology_read_file function was not properly
  being checked for failure.
* The function was reading int valued sysfs variables and then returning
  their value. So, even if a function was trying to check the return value
  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
  function which said that a return value of 0 indicated success.
* The function was parsing int valued sysfs values with strtoul instead of
  strtol.
* The function was non-static even though it was only used in the
  file it was declared in.

e52966c084 tools/power turbostat: prevent infinite loop on migration error path
Turbostat assumed if it can't migrate to a CPU, then the CPU
must have gone off-line and turbostat should re-initialize
with the new topology.

But if turbostat can not migrate because it is restricted by
a cpuset, then it will fail to migrate even after re-initialization,
resulting in an infinite loop.

Spit out a warning when we can't migrate
and endure only 2 re-initialize cycles in a row
before giving up and exiting.

b1e0d8b70f kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax
The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.

This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.

Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

6574a5d505 tools/power turbostat: print more turbo-limit information
The "turbo-limit" is the maximum opportunistic processor
speed, assuming no electrical or thermal constraints.
For a given processor, the turbo-limit varies, depending
on the number of active cores.  Generally, there is more
opportunity when fewer cores are active.

Under the "-v" verbose option, turbostat would
print the turbo-limits for the four cases
of 1 to 4 cores active.

Expand that capability to cover the cases of turbo
opportunities with up to 16 cores active.

Note that not all hardware platforms supply this information,
and that sometimes a valid limit may be specified for
a core which is not actually present.

c3ae331d1c tools/power: turbostat: fix large c1% issue
Under some conditions, c1% was displayed as very large number,
much higher than 100%.

c1% is not measured, it is derived as "that, which is left over"
from other counters.  However, the other counters are not collected
atomically, and so it is possible for c1% to be calaculagted as
a small negative number -- displayed as very large positive.

There was a check for mperf vs tsc for this already,
but it needed to also include the other counters

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.

650a37f32d tools/power turbostat: fix IVB support
Initial IVB support went into turbostat in Linux-3.1:
553575f1ae
(tools turbostat: recognize and run properly on IVB)

However, when running on IVB, turbostat would fail
to report the new couters added with SNB, c7, pc2 and pc7.
So in scenarios where these counters are non-zero on IVB,
turbostat would report erroneous residencey results.

In particular c7 time would be added to c1 time,
since c1 time is calculated as "that which is left over".

Also, turbostat reports MHz capabilities when passed
the "-v" option, and it would incorrectly report 133MHz
bclk instead of 100MHz bclk for IVB, which would inflate
GHz reported with that option.

This patch is a backport of a fix already included in turbostat v2.

d15cf7c129 tools/power turbostat: fix un-intended affinity of forked program
Linux 3.4 included a modification to turbostat to
lower cross-call overhead by using scheduler affinity:

15aaa34654
(tools turbostat: reduce measurement overhead due to IPIs)

In the use-case where turbostat forks a child program,
that change had the un-intended side-effect of binding
the child to the last cpu in the system.

This change removed the binding before forking the child.

This is a back-port of a fix already included in turbostat v2.

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.

Previously, turbostat would survive, but not gracefully.

88c3281f7b tools turbostat: reduce measurement overhead due to IPIs
turbostat uses /dev/cpu/*/msr interface to read MSRs.
For modern systems, it reads 10 MSR/CPU.  This can
be observed as 10 "Function Call Interrupts"
per CPU per sample added to /proc/interrupts.

This overhead is measurable on large idle systems,
and as Yoquan Song pointed out, it can even trick
cpuidle into thinking the system is busy.

Here turbostat re-schedules itself in-turn to each
CPU so that its MSR reads will always be local.
This replaces the 10 "Function Call Interrupts"
with a single "Rescheduling interrupt" per sample
per CPU.

On an idle 32-CPU system, this shifts some residency from
the shallow c1 state to the deeper c7 state:
