turbostat uses the format %zx to print an off_t. However, %zx wants a
size_t, not an off_t. On 32-bit targets, those refer to different
types, potentially even with different sizes. Use %llx and a cast
instead, since printf does not have a length modifier for off_t.
Without this patch, when compiling for a 32-bit target:
turbostat.c: In function 'get_msr':
turbostat.c:231:3: warning: format '%zx' expects argument of type 'size_t', but argument 4 has type 'off_t' [-Wformat]

turbostat's Makefile puts arch/x86/include/uapi/ in the include path, so
that it can include <asm/msr.h> from it. It isn't in general safe to
include even uapi headers directly from the kernel tree without
processing them through scripts/headers_install.sh, but asm/msr.h
happens to work.
However, that include path can break with some versions of system
headers, by overriding some system headers with the unprocessed versions
directly from the kernel source. For instance:
In file included from /build/x86-generic/usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:28:0,
from /build/x86-generic/usr/include/signal.h:339,
from /build/x86-generic/usr/include/sys/wait.h:31,
from turbostat.c:27:
../../../../arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/sigcontext.h:4:28: fatal error: linux/compiler.h: No such file or directory
This occurs because the system bits/sigcontext.h on that build system
includes <asm/sigcontext.h>, and asm/sigcontext.h in the kernel source
includes <linux/compiler.h>, which scripts/headers_install.sh would have
filtered out.
Since turbostat really only wants a single header, just include that one
header rather than putting an entire directory of kernel headers on the
include path.
In the process, switch from msr.h to msr-index.h, since turbostat just
wants the MSR numbers.

If a user calls 'cpupower set --perf-bias 15', the process will end with

Replace direct inclusions of <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and
<acpi/acpi_drivers.h>, which are incorrect, with <linux/acpi.h>
inclusions and remove some inclusions of those files that aren't
necessary.
First of all, <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and <acpi/acpi_drivers.h>
should not be included directly from any files that are built for
CONFIG_ACPI unset, because that generally leads to build warnings about
undefined symbols in !CONFIG_ACPI builds. For CONFIG_ACPI set,
<linux/acpi.h> includes those files and for CONFIG_ACPI unset it
provides stub ACPI symbols to be used in that case.
Second, there are ordering dependencies between those files that always
have to be met. Namely, it is required that <acpi/acpi_bus.h> be included
prior to <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> so that the acpi_pci_root declarations the
latter depends on are always there. And <acpi/acpi.h> which provides
basic ACPICA type declarations should always be included prior to any other
ACPI headers in CONFIG_ACPI builds. That also is taken care of including
<linux/acpi.h> as appropriate.

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.)

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| 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

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

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

But if turbostat can not migrate because it is restricted by

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

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.

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.

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.
