Casual turbostat users generally just want to know MHz.
So by default, just print enough information to make sense of MHz.
All the other configuration data and columns for C-states and temperature etc,
are printed with the --debug option.

Long format options added, though the short ones should still work.
eg. the new "--Counter 0x10" is the same as the old "-C 0x10"
Note this Incompatibility:
Old:
-v displayed verbose debug output
New:
-v and --version simpaly display version
Additional parameters:
-d and --debug display verbose debug output
-h and --help display a help message
Updated turbosat.8 man page accordingly.

While turbostat is significantly less useful on systems
with no APERF_MSR, it seems more friendly
to run on such systems and report what we can,
rather than refusing to run.
Update man page to reflect recent changes.

Use 8 columns for each number ouput.
We don't fit into 80 columns on most machines,
so keep the format simple.
Print frequency in MHz instead of GHz.
We've got 8 columns now, so use them to
show low frequency in a more natural unit.
Many users didn't understand what %c0 meant,
so re-name it to be %Busy.
Add Avg_MHz column, which is the frequency that many
users expect to see -- the total number of cycles executed
over the measurement interval.
People found the previous GHz to be confusing, since
it was the speed only over the non-idle interval.
That measurement has been re-named Bzy_MHz.

The SMI counter is popular -- so display it by default
rather than requiring an option. What the heck,
we've blown the 80 column budget on many systems already...
Note that the value displayed is the delta
during the measurement interval.
The absolute value of the counter can still be seen with
the generic 32-bit MSR option, ie. -m 0x34

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
(Intel® 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.)

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)

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.

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.
