275
276		These files exist in every CPU's cache/index3 directory. Each
277		cache_disable_{0,1} file corresponds to one disable slot which
278		can be used to disable a cache index. Reading from these files
279		on a processor with this functionality will return the currently
280		disabled index for that node. There is one L3 structure per
281		node, or per internal node on MCM machines. Writing a valid
282		index to one of these files will cause the specificed cache
283		index to be disabled.
284
285		All AMD processors with L3 caches provide this functionality.

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

515Description:	Information about CPU vulnerabilities
516
517		The files are named after the code names of CPU
518		vulnerabilities. The output of those files reflects the
519		state of the CPUs in the system. Possible output values:
520
521		================  ==============================================
522		"Not affected"	  CPU is not affected by the vulnerability
523		"Vulnerable"	  CPU is affected and no mitigation in effect
524		"Mitigation: $M"  CPU is affected and mitigation $M is in effect
525		================  ==============================================

534Description:	Control Symetric Multi Threading (SMT)
535
536		active:  Tells whether SMT is active (enabled and siblings online)
537
538		control: Read/write interface to control SMT. Possible
539			 values:
540
541			 ================ =========================================
542			 "on"		  SMT is enabled
543			 "off"		  SMT is disabled
544			 "forceoff"	  SMT is force disabled. Cannot be changed.
545			 "notsupported"   SMT is not supported by the CPU
546			 "notimplemented" SMT runtime toggling is not
547					  implemented for the architecture
548			 ================ =========================================
549
550			 If control status is "forceoff" or "notsupported" writes
551			 are rejected.

556Description:	Intel Energy and Performance Bias Hint (EPB)
557
558		EPB for the given CPU in a sliding scale 0 - 15, where a value
559		of 0 corresponds to a hint preference for highest performance
560		and a value of 15 corresponds to the maximum energy savings.
561
562		In order to change the EPB value for the CPU, write either
563		a number in the 0 - 15 sliding scale above, or one of the
564		strings: "performance", "balance-performance", "normal",
565		"balance-power", "power" (that represent values reflected by
566		their meaning), to this attribute.
567
568		This attribute is present for all online CPUs supporting the
569		Intel EPB feature.

576Description:	Umwait control
577
578		enable_c02: Read/write interface to control umwait C0.2 state
579			Read returns C0.2 state status:
580				0: C0.2 is disabled
581				1: C0.2 is enabled
582
583			Write 'y' or '1'  or 'on' to enable C0.2 state.
584			Write 'n' or '0'  or 'off' to disable C0.2 state.
585
586			The interface is case insensitive.
587
588		max_time: Read/write interface to control umwait maximum time
589			  in TSC-quanta that the CPU can reside in either C0.1
590			  or C0.2 state. The time is an unsigned 32-bit number.
591			  Note that a value of zero means there is no limit.
592			  Low order two bits must be zero.

608
609		The Processor Utilization Resources Register (PURR) is
610		a 64-bit counter which provides an estimate of the
611		resources used by the CPU thread. The contents of this
612		register increases monotonically. This sysfs interface
613		exposes the number of PURR ticks for cpuX.

619
620		The Scaled Processor Utilization Resources Register
621		(SPURR) is a 64-bit counter that provides a frequency
622		invariant estimate of the resources used by the CPU
623		thread. The contents of this register increases
624		monotonically. This sysfs interface exposes the number
625		of SPURR ticks for cpuX.
