Hi Guenter, This serial of patches introduces an accumulated power reporting algorithm. It will calculate the average power consumption for the processor. The cpu feature flag is CPUID.8000_0007H:EDX[12]. This algorithm is used to test the comparison of processor power consumption with between MWAITX delay and TSC delay on AMD Carrizo platforms.

The change and documentation will go to master soon as below link. And This way is better to use smp_num_siblings which is un-defined variable out of CONFIG_SMP. On V6, Guenter, I suggest that you merge the v4.6-rc2 into your hwmon-next branch. Because there are two commits (ee6825, 8196da) which are the dependences of this patch set to fix the AMD compute unit and max cores things. And you can see the new topology info at Documentation/x86/topology.txt. Changes from v1 -> v2: - Move fam15h_power_groups and fam15h_power_group into fam15h_power_data to avoid overwrite on multi-CPU system. - Rename FAM15H_MIN_NUM_ATTRS macro and fix return error code. - Remove unnecessary warning print. - Adds do_read_registers_on_cu to do all the read to all MSRs and run it on one of the online cores on each compute unit with smp_call_function_many(). - Use power1_average and power1_average_interval standard entry instread of power1_acc - Fix the CPU-hotplug case. Changes from v2 -> v3: - As Guenter's suggestion, remove typecast, use &data->groups[0]. - Remove all "fam15_power_*" prefix at data. - Remove unnecessary ( ). - Fix the issue that is reported by build test robot, and add CPU_SUP_AMD as the dependence of fam15h_power - Remove the WARN_ON at do_read_registers_on_cu, because it must be behind CPUID check. The MSR must be available since CPUID.8000_0007H:EDX[12] is set - Add get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() functions. - Refine commments and the method which generate cpumask for cu. - Add the interval scope to make the value suitable for user experience - Remove the useless mutex. Changes from v3 -> v4: - Rebase the patches to latest groeck/hwmon-next. - Use smp_num_siblings instead of cores_per_cu accessor. - Refine the cpumask method which is inspired by perf solution. - Fix some typo and errors. Changes from v4 -> v5: - Rebase patches to v4.6-rc1. - Use new x86 topology with compute id (cpu_core_id) and compute unit number (x86_max_cores) instead of smp_num_siblings. Changes from v5 -> v6: - Remove unuse get_cpu/put_cpu. - Update cpumask handling method with new topology. - Use X86_FEATURE_ACC_POWER flag instead cpuid - Add comments to explain default interval value and add documentation to explain how to modify the interval. A simple example: ray@hr-ub:~/tip$ sensors fam15h_power-pci-00c4 Adapter: PCI adapter power1: 19.58 mW (avg = 2.55 mW, interval = 0.01 s) (crit = 15.00 W) ... These patches are rebased on v4.6-rc2.
