What: /sys/devices/system/cpu/ Date: pre-git history Contact: Linux kernel mailing list Description: A collection of both global and individual CPU attributes Individual CPU attributes are contained in subdirectories named by the kernel's logical CPU number, e.g.: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/ What: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/cache_disable_X Date: August 2008 KernelVersion: 2.6.27 Contact: mark.langsdorf@amd.com Description: These files exist in every cpu's cache index directories. There are currently 2 cache_disable_# files in each directory. Reading from these files on a supported processor will return that cache disable index value for that processor and node. Writing to one of these files will cause the specificed cache index to be disabled. Currently, only AMD Family 10h Processors support cache index disable, and only for their L3 caches.
