276
277		These files exist in every CPU's cache/index3 directory. Each
278		cache_disable_{0,1} file corresponds to one disable slot which
279		can be used to disable a cache index. Reading from these files
280		on a processor with this functionality will return the currently
281		disabled index for that node. There is one L3 structure per
282		node, or per internal node on MCM machines. Writing a valid
283		index to one of these files will cause the specificed cache
284		index to be disabled.
285
286		All AMD processors with L3 caches provide this functionality.

434		is common across all the cpus belonging to a chip. Below are the
435		throttle attributes exported in the 'throttle_stats' directory:
436
437		- turbo_stat : This file gives the total number of times the max
438		  frequency is throttled to lower frequency in turbo (at and above
439		  nominal frequency) range of frequencies.
440
441		- sub_turbo_stat : This file gives the total number of times the
442		  max frequency is throttled to lower frequency in sub-turbo(below
443		  nominal frequency) range of frequencies.
444
445		- unthrottle : This file gives the total number of times the max
446		  frequency is unthrottled after being throttled.
447
448		- powercap : This file gives the total number of times the max
449		  frequency is throttled due to 'Power Capping'.
450
451		- overtemp : This file gives the total number of times the max
452		  frequency is throttled due to 'CPU Over Temperature'.
453
454		- supply_fault : This file gives the total number of times the
455		  max frequency is throttled due to 'Power Supply Failure'.
456
457		- overcurrent : This file gives the total number of times the
458		  max frequency is throttled due to 'Overcurrent'.
459
460		- occ_reset : This file gives the total number of times the max
461		  frequency is throttled due to 'OCC Reset'.
462
463		The sysfs attributes representing different throttle reasons like
464		powercap, overtemp, supply_fault, overcurrent and occ_reset map to
465		the reasons provided by OCC firmware for throttling the frequency.

516Description:	Information about CPU vulnerabilities
517
518		The files are named after the code names of CPU
519		vulnerabilities. The output of those files reflects the
520		state of the CPUs in the system. Possible output values:
521
522		================  ==============================================
523		"Not affected"	  CPU is not affected by the vulnerability
524		"Vulnerable"	  CPU is affected and no mitigation in effect
525		"Mitigation: $M"  CPU is affected and mitigation $M is in effect
526		================  ==============================================

535Description:	Control Symetric Multi Threading (SMT)
536
537		active:  Tells whether SMT is active (enabled and siblings online)
538
539		control: Read/write interface to control SMT. Possible
540			 values:
541
542			 ================ =========================================
543			 "on"		  SMT is enabled
544			 "off"		  SMT is disabled
545			 "forceoff"	  SMT is force disabled. Cannot be changed.
546			 "notsupported"   SMT is not supported by the CPU
547			 "notimplemented" SMT runtime toggling is not
548					  implemented for the architecture
549			 ================ =========================================
550
551			 If control status is "forceoff" or "notsupported" writes
552			 are rejected.

557Description:	Intel Energy and Performance Bias Hint (EPB)
558
559		EPB for the given CPU in a sliding scale 0 - 15, where a value
560		of 0 corresponds to a hint preference for highest performance
561		and a value of 15 corresponds to the maximum energy savings.
562
563		In order to change the EPB value for the CPU, write either
564		a number in the 0 - 15 sliding scale above, or one of the
565		strings: "performance", "balance-performance", "normal",
566		"balance-power", "power" (that represent values reflected by
567		their meaning), to this attribute.
568
569		This attribute is present for all online CPUs supporting the
570		Intel EPB feature.

577Description:	Umwait control
578
579		enable_c02: Read/write interface to control umwait C0.2 state
580			Read returns C0.2 state status:
581				0: C0.2 is disabled
582				1: C0.2 is enabled
583
584			Write 'y' or '1'  or 'on' to enable C0.2 state.
585			Write 'n' or '0'  or 'off' to disable C0.2 state.
586
587			The interface is case insensitive.
588
589		max_time: Read/write interface to control umwait maximum time
590			  in TSC-quanta that the CPU can reside in either C0.1
591			  or C0.2 state. The time is an unsigned 32-bit number.
592			  Note that a value of zero means there is no limit.
593			  Low order two bits must be zero.

609
610		The Processor Utilization Resources Register (PURR) is
611		a 64-bit counter which provides an estimate of the
612		resources used by the CPU thread. The contents of this
613		register increases monotonically. This sysfs interface
614		exposes the number of PURR ticks for cpuX.

620
621		The Scaled Processor Utilization Resources Register
622		(SPURR) is a 64-bit counter that provides a frequency
623		invariant estimate of the resources used by the CPU
624		thread. The contents of this register increases
625		monotonically. This sysfs interface exposes the number
626		of SPURR ticks for cpuX.
