Counting SMIs is popular, so add a dedicated "-s" option to do it,
and juggle some of the other option letters.
-S is now system summary (was -s)
-c is 32 bit counter (was -d)
-C is 64-bit counter (was -D)
-p is 1st thread in core (was -c)
-P is 1st thread in package (was -p)
bump the minor version number

# turbostat -d 0x34
is useful for printing the number of SMI's within an interval
on Nehalem and newer processors.
where
# turbostat -m 0x34
will simply print out the total SMI count since reset.

The -M option dumps the specified 64-bit MSR with every sample.
Previously it was output at the end of each line.
However, with the v2 style of printing, the lines are now staggered,
making MSR output hard to read.
So move the MSR output column to the left where things are aligned.

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.

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
that are used to calculate c1.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
