Commitsfcf8058(cpufreq: Simplify cpufreq_add_dev()) andaa77a52(cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: Don't set policy->related_cpus from .init()) changed the contents of the "related_cpus" sysfs attribute on systems where acpi-cpufreq is used and user space can't get the list of CPUs which are in the same hardware coordination CPU domain (provided by the ACPI AML method _PSD) via "related_cpus" any more. To make up for that loss add a new sysfs attribute "freqdomian_cpus" for the acpi-cpufreq driver which exposes the list of CPUs in the same domain regardless of whether it is coordinated by hardware or software.

Description: CPU topology files that describe a logical CPU's relationship

to other cores and threads in the same physical package.
|
|
|
|
One cpu# directory is created per logical CPU in the system,
|
|
e.g. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu42/.
|
|
|
|
Briefly, the files above are:
|
|
|
|
core_id: the CPU core ID of cpu#. Typically it is the
|
|
hardware platform's identifier (rather than the kernel's).
|
|
The actual value is architecture and platform dependent.
|
|
|
|
core_siblings: internal kernel map of cpu#'s hardware threads
|
|
within the same physical_package_id.
|
|
|
|
core_siblings_list: human-readable list of the logical CPU
|
|
numbers within the same physical_package_id as cpu#.
|
|
|
|
physical_package_id: physical package id of cpu#. Typically
|
|
corresponds to a physical socket number, but the actual value
|
|
is architecture and platform dependent.
|
|
|
|
thread_siblings: internel kernel map of cpu#'s hardware
|

threads within the same core as cpu#

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: displays current idle mechanism
|
|
|
|
current_governor_ro: displays current idle policy

Description: Discover and change clock speed of CPUs
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
There are many knobs to tweak in this directory.
|
|
|
|
See files in Documentation/cpu-freq/ for more information.

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.
|
|
|
|
This file is only present if the acpi-cpufreq driver is in use.

|
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.
