tools/power turbostat: fit output into 80 columns on snb-ep

2011-08-02T22:33:31+00:00

Reduce columns for package number to 1.
If you can afford more than 9 packages,
you can also afford a terminal with more than 80 columns:-)

Also shave a column also off the package C-states

cpupower: Do detect IDA (opportunistic processor performance) via cpuid

2011-07-29T17:37:27+00:00

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-info

2011-07-29T17:37:25+00:00

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: increase MAX_LINE_LEN

2011-07-29T16:35:40+00:00

larger sysfs data (>255 bytes) was truncated and thus used improperly

cpupowerutils: use kernel version-derived version string

2011-07-29T16:35:39+00:00

As cpupowerutils is intended to be included into the kernel sources,
use the kernel versioning instead of a custom version.

The script utils/version-gen.sh is largely based on the script already
found in tools/perf/util/PERF-VERSION-GEN .
