		What: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu/cache/index/cache_disable_X
		Date: August 2008
		KernelVersion: 2.6.27
		Contact: mark.langsdorf@amd.com
		Description: These files exist in every cpu's cache index directories.
		There are currently 2 cache_disable_# files in each
		directory. Reading from these files on a supported
		processor will return that cache disable index value
		for that processor and node. Writing to one of these
		files will cause the specificed cache index to be disabled.

		Currently, only AMD Family 10h Processors support cache index
		disable, and only for their L3 caches. See the BIOS and
		Kernel Developer's Guide at
		http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/31116-Public-GH-BKDG_3.20_2-4-09.pdf

		Individual CPU attributes are contained in subdirectories
		named by the kernel's logical CPU number, e.g.:

		/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/

		What: /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
		/sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_smt_power_savings
		Date: June 2006
		Contact: Linux kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>
		Description: Discover and adjust the kernel's multi-core scheduler support.

		Possible values are:

		0 - No power saving load balance (default value)
		1 - Fill one thread/core/package first for long running threads
		2 - Also bias task wakeups to semi-idle cpu package for power
		savings

		sched_mc_power_savings is dependent upon SCHED_MC, which is
		itself architecture dependent.

		sched_smt_power_savings is dependent upon SCHED_SMT, which
		is itself architecture dependent.

		The two files are independent of each other. It is possible
		that one file may be present without the other.

		Introduced by git commit 5c45bf27.

		Description: CPU topology files that describe kernel limits related to
		hotplug. Briefly:

		kernel_max: the maximum cpu index allowed by the kernel
		configuration.

		offline: cpus that are not online because they have been
		HOTPLUGGED off or exceed the limit of cpus allowed by the
		kernel configuration (kernel_max above).

		online: cpus that are online and being scheduled.

		possible: cpus that have been allocated resources and can be
		brought online if they are present.

		present: cpus that have been identified as being present in
		the system.

		See Documentation/cputopology.txt for more information.

		to the corresponding NUMA node directory.

		For example, the following symlink is created for cpu42
		in NUMA node 2:

		/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu42/node2 -> ../../node/node2

		Date: December 2008
		Contact: Linux kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>
		Description: CPU topology files that describe a logical CPU's relationship
		to other cores and threads in the same physical package.

		One cpu# directory is created per logical CPU in the system,
		e.g. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu42/.

		Briefly, the files above are:

		core_id: the CPU core ID of cpu#. Typically it is the
		hardware platform's identifier (rather than the kernel's).
		The actual value is architecture and platform dependent.

		core_siblings: internal kernel map of cpu#'s hardware threads
		within the same physical_package_id.

		core_siblings_list: human-readable list of the logical CPU
		numbers within the same physical_package_id as cpu#.

		physical_package_id: physical package id of cpu#. Typically
		corresponds to a physical socket number, but the actual value
		is architecture and platform dependent.

		thread_siblings: internel kernel map of cpu#'s hardware
		threads within the same core as cpu#

		thread_siblings_list: human-readable list of cpu#'s hardware
		threads within the same core as cpu#

		See Documentation/cputopology.txt for more information.

		Date: September 2007
		Contact: Linux kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>
		Description: Discover cpuidle policy and mechanism

		Various CPUs today support multiple idle levels that are
		differentiated by varying exit latencies and power
		consumption during idle.

		Idle policy (governor) is differentiated from idle mechanism
		(driver)

		current_driver: displays current idle mechanism

		current_governor_ro: displays current idle policy

		See files in Documentation/cpuidle/ for more information.
