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. + +A socket and core energy read would return the current register +value added to the respective energy accumulator. + +Sysfs attributes +---------------- + +=============== ======== ===================================== +Attribute Label Description +=============== ======== ===================================== + +* For index N between [1] and [nr_cpus] + +=============== ======== ====================================== +energy[N]_input EcoreX Core Energy X = [0] to [nr_cpus - 1] + Measured input core energy +=============== ======== ====================================== + +* For N between [nr_cpus] and [nr_cpus + nr_socks] + +=============== ======== ====================================== +energy[N]_input EsocketX Socket Energy X = [0] to [nr_socks -1] + Measured input socket energy +=============== ======== ====================================== diff --git a/Documentation/hwmon/index.rst b/Documentation/hwmon/index.rst index 8ef62fd39787..fc4b89810e67 100644 --- a/Documentation/hwmon/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/hwmon/index.rst @@ -39,6 +39,7 @@ Hardware Monitoring Kernel Drivers adt7470 adt7475 amc6821 + amd_energy asb100 asc7621 aspeed-pwm-tacho -- 2.17.1
