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@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
