When the hardware reduces the power to the minimum possible, the power floor is notified via an interrupt. This can happen when user space requests a power limit via powercap RAPL interface, which forces the system to enter to the lowest power. This power floor indication can be used as a hint to resort to other methods of reducing power than via RAPL power limit. Before power floor status can be read or the firmware can trigger notifications regarding it, it needs to be configured via a mailbox command. The actual power floor status is read via bit 39 of MMIO offset 0x5B18 of the processor thermal PCI device. To show the current power floor status and get notification on a sysfs attribute, add 2 new attributes to /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:04.0/power_limits/ power_floor_enable : This attribute is present when power floor notifications are supported. This attribute allows to enable/disable power floor notifications. power_floor_status : This attribute is present when power floor notifications are supported. When enabled via power_floor_enable, this attribute shows the current power floor status. The power floor implementation provides interfaces which are called from the sysfs callbacks to enable/disable and read power floor status. It also provides two additional interfaces to check if the current processor thermal device interrupt is for power floor status and to send notifications to user space.
