Subject: Re: turbostat: Display all C-states on AMD Ryzen processor

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the note.
This devices is exposing two C-states to the OS, via ACPI tables:

cpu7: C1: ACPI HLT
cpu7: C2: ACPI IOPORT 0x414

And turbostat is showing the kernel's count of requests into those
states, and %residency in those states.

So far, this is similar to what would be seen on most Intel parts,
except Intel usually expose a couple more states to the OS, often via
a native intel_idle driver, rather than the ACPI BIOS.

That part that is really missing from AMD is hardware residency
counters.  I don't know if there are any or not.  If somebody knows of
any that are publicly documented and is willing to test patches to
show them to the user, I'd be happy to cut patches.

cheers,
-Len
