-Description
------------
-
-The Energy driver exposes the energy counters that are
-reported via the Running Average Power Limit (RAPL)
-Model-specific Registers (MSRs) via the hardware monitor
-(HWMON) sysfs interface.
-
-1. Power, Energy and Time Units
- MSR_RAPL_POWER_UNIT/ C001_0299:
- shared with all cores in the socket
-
-2. Energy consumed by each Core
- MSR_CORE_ENERGY_STATUS/ C001_029A:
- 32-bitRO, Accumulator, core-level power reporting
-
-3. Energy consumed by Socket
- MSR_PACKAGE_ENERGY_STATUS/ C001_029B:
- 32-bitRO, Accumulator, socket-level power reporting,
- shared with all cores in socket
-
-These registers are updated every 1ms and cleared on
-reset of the system.
-
-Note: If SMT is enabled, Linux enumerates all threads as cpus.
-Since, the energy status registers are accessed at core level,
-reading those registers from the sibling threads would result
-in duplicate values. Hence, energy counter entries are not
-populated for the siblings.
-
-Energy Caluclation
-------------------
-
-Energy information (in Joules) is based on the multiplier,
-1/2^ESU; where ESU is an unsigned integer read from
-MSR_RAPL_POWER_UNIT register. Default value is 10000b,
-indicating energy status unit is 15.3 micro-Joules increment.
-
-Reported values are scaled as per the formula
-
-scaled value = ((1/2^ESU) * (Raw value) * 1000000UL) in uJoules
-
-Users calculate power for a given domain by calculating
- dEnergy/dTime for that domain.
-
-Energy accumulation
---------------------------
-
-Current, Socket energy status register is 32bit, assuming a 240W
-2P system, the register would wrap around in
-
- 2^32*15.3 e-6/240 * 2 = 547.60833024 secs to wrap(~9 mins)
-
-The Core energy register may wrap around after several days.
-
-To improve the wrap around time, a kernel thread is implemented
-to accumulate the socket energy counters and one core energy counter
-per run to a respective 64-bit counter. The kernel thread starts
-running during probe, wakes up every 100secs and stops running
-when driver is removed.
-
-Frequency of the accumulator thread is set during the probe
-based on the chosen energy unit resolution. For example
-A. fine grain (1.625 micro J)
-B. course grain (0.125 milli J)
-
-A socket and core energy read would return the current register
-value added to the respective energy accumulator.
