Briefly, the files above are:
|
|

Description: Discover cpuidle policy and mechanism
|
|
|
|
Various CPUs today support multiple idle levels that are
|
|
differentiated by varying exit latencies and power
|
|
consumption during idle.
|
|
|
|
Idle policy (governor) is differentiated from idle mechanism
|
|
(driver)
|
|
|
|
current_driver: (RO) displays current idle mechanism
|
|
|
|
current_governor_ro: (RO) displays current idle policy
|
|
|
|
With the cpuidle_sysfs_switch boot option enabled (meant for
|
|
developer testing), the following three attributes are visible
|
|
instead:
|
|
|
|
current_driver: same as described above
|
|
|
|
available_governors: (RO) displays a space separated list of

|
available governors
|

current_governor: (RW) displays current idle policy. Users can

|
switch the governor at runtime by writing to this file.

following attributes:

|
|
name: (RO) Name of the idle state (string).
|
|
|

(RW) Option to disable this idle state (bool). The behavior and

the effect of the disable variable depends on the implementation

of a particular governor. In the ladder governor, for example,
|
|
it is not coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state, then
|
|
all deeper states are disabled as well, but the disable variable
|
|
does not reflect it. Likewise, if one enables a deep state but a
|
|
lighter state still is disabled, then this has no effect.

|
|
|
Clock scaling allows you to change the clock speed of the

CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save battery
|
|
power, because the lower the clock speed, the less power
|
|
the CPU consumes.

Description: Discover CPUs in the same CPU frequency coordination domain
|
|
|
|
freqdomain_cpus is the list of CPUs (online+offline) that share

|
the same clock/freq domain (possibly at the hardware level).
|
|
That information may be hidden from the cpufreq core and the
|
|
value of related_cpus may be different from freqdomain_cpus. This

|
attribute is useful for user space DVFS controllers to get better
|
|
power/performance results for platforms using acpi-cpufreq.

Description: Disable L3 cache indices
|
|
|
|
These files exist in every CPU's cache/index3 directory. Each
|
|
cache_disable_{0,1} file corresponds to one disable slot which
|
|
can be used to disable a cache index. Reading from these files
|
|
on a processor with this functionality will return the currently
|
|
disabled index for that node. There is one L3 structure per
|
|
node, or per internal node on MCM machines. Writing a valid
|
|
index to one of these files will cause the specificed cache
|
|
index to be disabled.
|
|
|
|
All AMD processors with L3 caches provide this functionality.

assign them ids 0, 1, 2, ...

|
|
Note that id value can be non-contiguous. E.g. level 1
|
|
caches typically exist per core, but there may not be a
|
|
power of two cores on a socket, so these caches may be
|
|
numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, ...

Description: POWERNV CPUFreq driver's frequency throttle stats directory and

attributes
|
|
|
|
'cpuX/cpufreq/throttle_stats' directory contains the CPU frequency
|
|
throttle stat attributes for the chip. The throttle stats of a cpu
|
|
is common across all the cpus belonging to a chip. Below are the
|
|
throttle attributes exported in the 'throttle_stats' directory:
|
|
|
|
- turbo_stat : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled to lower frequency in turbo (at and above
|
|
nominal frequency) range of frequencies.
|
|
|
|
- sub_turbo_stat : This file gives the total number of times the
|
|
max frequency is throttled to lower frequency in sub-turbo(below
|
|
nominal frequency) range of frequencies.
|
|
|
|
- unthrottle : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is unthrottled after being throttled.
|
|
|
|
- powercap : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled due to 'Power Capping'.
|
|
|
|
- overtemp : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled due to 'CPU Over Temperature'.
|
|
|
|
- supply_fault : This file gives the total number of times the
|
|
max frequency is throttled due to 'Power Supply Failure'.
|
|
|
|
- overcurrent : This file gives the total number of times the
|
|
max frequency is throttled due to 'Overcurrent'.
|
|
|
|
- occ_reset : This file gives the total number of times the max
|
|
frequency is throttled due to 'OCC Reset'.
|
|
|
|
The sysfs attributes representing different throttle reasons like
|
|
powercap, overtemp, supply_fault, overcurrent and occ_reset map to
|
|
the reasons provided by OCC firmware for throttling the frequency.

Description: Information about CPU vulnerabilities
|
|
|
|
The files are named after the code names of CPU
|
|
vulnerabilities. The output of those files reflects the
|
|
state of the CPUs in the system. Possible output values:
|
|
|
|
"Not affected" CPU is not affected by the vulnerability
|
|
"Vulnerable" CPU is affected and no mitigation in effect
|
|
"Mitigation: $M" CPU is affected and mitigation $M is in effect

Description: Control Symetric Multi Threading (SMT)
|
|
|
|
active: Tells whether SMT is active (enabled and siblings online)
|
|
|
|
control: Read/write interface to control SMT. Possible
|
|
values:
|
|
|
|
"on" SMT is enabled
|
|
"off" SMT is disabled
|
|
"forceoff" SMT is force disabled. Cannot be changed.
|
|
"notsupported" SMT is not supported by the CPU
|
|
|
|
If control status is "forceoff" or "notsupported" writes
|
|
are rejected.
