5Description: These files exist in every cpu's cache index directories.
6 There are currently 2 cache_disable_# files in each
7 directory. Reading from these files on a supported
8 processor will return that cache disable index value
9 for that processor and node. Writing to one of these
10 files will cause the specificed cache index to be disabled.
11
12 Currently, only AMD Family 10h Processors support cache index
13 disable, and only for their L3 caches. See the BIOS and
14 Kernel Developer's Guide at

18 Possible values are:
19
20 0 - No power saving load balance (default value)
21 1 - Fill one thread/core/package first for long running threads
22 2 - Also bias task wakeups to semi-idle cpu package for power
23 savings

25 sched_mc_power_savings is dependent upon SCHED_MC, which is
26 itself architecture dependent.

28 sched_smt_power_savings is dependent upon SCHED_SMT, which
29 is itself architecture dependent.

88Description: CPU topology files that describe a logical CPU's relationship
89 to other cores and threads in the same physical package.
90
91 One cpu# directory is created per logical CPU in the system,
92 e.g. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu42/.
93
94 Briefly, the files above are:
95
96 core_id: the CPU core ID of cpu#. Typically it is the
97 hardware platform's identifier (rather than the kernel's).
98 The actual value is architecture and platform dependent.
99
100 core_siblings: internal kernel map of cpu#'s hardware threads
101 within the same physical_package_id.
102
103 core_siblings_list: human-readable list of the logical CPU
104 numbers within the same physical_package_id as cpu#.
105
106 physical_package_id: physical package id of cpu#. Typically
107 corresponds to a physical socket number, but the actual value
108 is architecture and platform dependent.
109
110 thread_siblings: internel kernel map of cpu#'s hardware
111 threads within the same core as cpu#
112
113 thread_siblings_list: human-readable list of cpu#'s hardware

124
125 Various CPUs today support multiple idle levels that are
126 differentiated by varying exit latencies and power
127 consumption during idle.

130 (driver)
