* cpupower: make NLS truly optionalDominik Brodowski2011-08-19
| | | | | | | | Loosely based on a patch for cpufrequtils, submittted by Sergey Dryabzhinsky <sergey.dryabzhinsky@gmail.com> and signed-off-by: Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
* cpupower: Better detect offlined CPUsThomas Renninger2011-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | Before, checking for offlined CPUs was done dirty and it was checked whether topology parsing returned -1 values. But this is a valid case on a Xen (and possibly other) kernels. Do proper online/offline checking, also take CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU option into account (no /sys/devices/../cpuX/online file).

* cpupower: Do detect IDA (opportunistic processor performance) via cpuidThomas Renninger2011-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IA32-Intel Devel guide Volume 3A - 14.3.2.1 ------------------------------------------- ... Opportunistic processor performance operation can be disabled by setting bit 38 of IA32_MISC_ENABLES. This mechanism is intended for BIOS only. If IA32_MISC_ENABLES[38] is set, CPUID.06H:EAX[1] will return 0. Better detect things via cpuid, this cleans up the code a bit and the MSR parts were not working correctly anyway.

* cpupower: Show Intel turbo ratio support via ./cpupower frequency-infoThomas Renninger2011-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the last piece missing from turbostat (if called with -v). It shows on Intel machines supporting Turbo Boost how many cores have to be active/idle to enter which boost mode (frequency). Whether the HW really enters these boost modes can be verified via ./cpupower monitor.

* cpupowerutils - cpufrequtils extended with quite some featuresDominik Brodowski2011-07-29
CPU power consumption vs performance tuning is no longer limited to CPU frequency switching anymore: deep sleep states, traditional dynamic frequency scaling and hidden turbo/boost frequencies are tied close together and depend on each other. The first two exist on different architectures like PPC, Itanium and ARM, the latter (so far) only on X86. On X86 the APU (CPU+GPU) will only run most efficiently if CPU and GPU has proper power management in place. Users and Developers want to have *one* tool to get an overview what their system supports and to monitor and debug CPU power management in detail. The tool should compile and work on as many architectures as possible. Once this tool stabilizes a bit, it is intended to replace the Intel-specific tools in tools/power/x86 Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
