Correction to manpage of cpupower

2020-01-27T15:43:31+00:00

Manpage of cpupower is listing wrong sub-commands in "See Also" section. The option for cpupower-idle(1) should actually be cpupower-idle-info(1) and cpupower-idle-set(1). This patch corrects this anomaly. Signed-off-by: Brahadambal Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

cpupower: Enable disabled Cstates if they are below max latency

2015-11-02T01:28:59+00:00

cpupower idle-set -D currently only disables all C-states that have a higher latency than the specified . But if deep sleep states were already disabled and have a lower latency, they should get enabled again. For example: This call: cpupower idle-set -D 30 disables all C-states with a higher or equal latency than 30. If one then calls: cpupower idle-set -D 100 C-states with a latency between 30-99 will get enabled again with this patch now. It is ensured that only C-states with a latency of 100 and higher are disabled. Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / tools: cpupower: add option to display values without round offs

2014-05-06T22:19:06+00:00

The command "cpupower frequency-info" can be used when using cpupower to monitor and test processor behaviour to determine if the processor is behaving as expected. This data can be compared to the output of /proc/cpuinfo or the output of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies to determine if the cpu is in an expected state. When doing this I noticed comparison test failures due to the way the data is displayed in cpupower. For example, [root@intel-s3e37-02 cpupower]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 2262000 2261000 2128000 1995000 1862000 1729000 1596000 1463000 1330000 1197000 1064000 compared to [root@intel-s3e37-02 cpupower]# cpupower frequency-info analyzing CPU 0: driver: acpi-cpufreq CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 maximum transition latency: 10.0 us. hardware limits: 1.06 GHz - 2.26 GHz available frequency steps: 2.26 GHz, 2.26 GHz, 2.13 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.86 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.46 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1.20 GHz, 1.06 GHz available cpufreq governors: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance current policy: frequency should be within 1.06 GHz and 2.26 GHz. The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency is 2.26 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). boost state support: Supported: yes Active: yes shows very different values for the available frequency steps. The cpupower output rounds off values at 2 decimal points and this causes problems with test scripts. For example, with the data above, 1.064 is 1.06 1.197 is 1.20 1.596 is 1.60 1.995 is 2.00 2.128 is 2.13 and most confusingly, 2.261 is 2.26 2.262 is 2.26 Truncating these values serves no real purpose other than making the output pretty. Since the default has been to round off these values I am adding a -n/--no-rounding option to the cpupower utility that will display the data without rounding off the still significant digits.

tools: cpupower: Add cpupower-idle-set(1) manpage

2013-11-25T22:10:50+00:00

The cpupower idle-set subcommand was introduce recently. This patch provides the missing manpage. If cpupower is properly installed it will show up automatically (similar to git), when invoking: cpupower help idle-set or cpupower idle-set --help Some parts have been taken over and adjusted from git commit 62d6ae880e3e76098 documentation submitted by Carsten Emde.

cpupower: Provide -c param for cpupower monitor to schedule process on all cores

2012-11-27T22:07:20+00:00

If an MSR based monitor is run in parallel this is not needed. This is the default case on all/most Intel machines. But when only sysfs info is read via cpupower monitor -m Idle_Stats (typically the case for non root users) or when other monitors are PCI based (AMD), Idle_Stats, read from sysfs can be totally bogus: cpupower monitor -m Idle_Stats PKG |CORE|CPU | POLL | C1-N | C3-N | C6-N 0| 0| 0| 0.00| 0.00| 0.24| 99.81 0| 0| 32| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 100.7 ... 0| 17| 20| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 173.1 0| 17| 52| 0.00| 0.00| 0.07| 173.0 0| 18| 68| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00 0| 18| 76| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00 ... With the -c option all cores are woken up and the kernel did update cpuidle statistics before reading out sysfs. This causes some overhead. Therefore avoid if possible, use if needed: cpupower monitor -c -m Idle_Stats PKG |CORE|CPU | POLL | C1-N | C3-N | C6-N 0| 0| 0| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 100.2 0| 0| 32| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 100.2 ... 0| 8| 8| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 99.82 0| 8| 40| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 99.81 0| 9| 24| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 100.3 0| 9| 56| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 100.2 0| 16| 4| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 99.75 0| 16| 36| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00| 99.38 ...
