#!/bin/bash # # This test runs on Intel x86 based hardware which support the intel_pstate # driver. The test checks the frequency settings from the maximum turbo # state to the minimum supported frequency, in decrements of 100MHz. The # test runs the aperf.c program to put load on each processor. # # The results are displayed in a table which indicate the "Target" state, # or the requested frequency in MHz, the Actual frequency, as read from # /proc/cpuinfo, the difference between the Target and Actual frequencies, # and the value of MSR 0x199 (MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL) which indicates what # pstate the cpu is in, and the value of # /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct X maximum turbo state # # Notes: In some cases several frequency values may be placed in the # /tmp/result.X files. This is done on purpose in order to catch cases # where the pstate driver may not be working at all. There is the case # where, for example, several "similar" frequencies are in the file: # # #/tmp/result.3100:1:cpu MHz : 2899.980 #/tmp/result.3100:2:cpu MHz : 2900.000 #/tmp/result.3100:3:msr 0x199: 0x1e00 #/tmp/result.3100:4:max_perf_pct 94 # # and the test will error out in those cases. The result.X file can be checked # for consistency and modified to remove the extra MHz values. The result.X # files can be re-evaluated by setting EVALUATE_ONLY to 1 below.
