Refer to the Intel SDM Vol.4, the package C-state residency counters of modern IA micro-architecture are all ticking in TSC frequency, hence we can apply simple math to transform the ticks into microseconds. i.e., residency (ms) = count / tsc_khz residency (us) = count / tsc_khz * 1000 This also aligns to other sysfs debug entries of residency counter in the same metric in microseconds, benefits reading and scripting. v2: restore the accidentally deleted newline, no function change. v3: apply kernel do_div() macro to calculate division Signed-off-by: Harry Pan <harry.pan@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/platform/x86/intel_pmc_core.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/platform/x86/intel_pmc_core.c b/drivers/platform/x86/intel_pmc_core.c index f2c621b55f49..ab798efacc85 100644 --- a/drivers/platform/x86/intel_pmc_core.c +++ b/drivers/platform/x86/intel_pmc_core.c @@ -24,6 +24,7 @@ #include <asm/cpu_device_id.h> #include <asm/intel-family.h> #include <asm/msr.h> +#include <asm/tsc.h> #include "intel_pmc_core.h" @@ -738,7 +739,9 @@ static int pmc_core_pkgc_show(struct seq_file *s, void *unused) if (rdmsrl_safe(map[index].bit_mask, &pcstate_count)) continue; - seq_printf(s, "%-8s : 0x%llx\n", map[index].name, + pcstate_count *= 1000; + do_div(pcstate_count, tsc_khz); + seq_printf(s, "%-8s : %llu\n", map[index].name, pcstate_count); } -- 2.20.1
