Subject: [PATCH] powercap: intel_rapl: Expose package CPUs in associated_cpus
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 13:30:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106183046.208283-1-dechen@redhat.com> (raw)
Commit 525e0064f3d8 ("powercap: intel_rapl: Expose all package CPUs in
PMU cpumask") expanded cpumask to include all CPUs in the package.
Since perf opens an event for every CPU in cpumask, the value returned
for power/energy-pkg/ is roughly scaled by the number of CPUs.
On a single-socket 72-core DMR machine the reported value is roughly
72x higher than when perf is restricted to reading from a single CPU:
$ perf stat -e power/energy-pkg/ -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
8,052.48 Joules power/energy-pkg/
1.010483558 seconds time elapsed
$ perf stat -C 5 -e power/energy-pkg/ -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 5':
112.15 Joules power/energy-pkg/
1.009685587 seconds time elapsed
Revert cpumask to only include the CPU with the lowest ID in the
package and instead expose CPUs which can read from the PMU in
associated_cpus, akin to uncore PMU drivers with per-package counters.
This retains flexibility for userspace tools while maintaining semantic
consistency for perf's use of cpumask.
