Fenghua Yu bd9a0c97e5 x86/umwait: Add sysfs interface to control umwait maximum time
IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL[31:2] determines the maximum time in TSC-quanta
that processor can stay in C0.1 or C0.2. A zero value means no maximum
time.

Each instruction sets its own deadline in the instruction's implicit
input EDX:EAX value. The instruction wakes up if the time-stamp counter
reaches or exceeds the specified deadline, or the umwait maximum time
expires, or a store happens in the monitored address range in umwait.

The administrator can write an unsigned 32-bit number to
/sys/devices/system/cpu/umwait_control/max_time to change the default
value. Note that a value of zero means there is no limit. The lower two
bits of the value must be zero.

README

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.
