tools/power: turbostat v2 - re-write for efficiency 



Measuring large profoundly-idle configurations
requires turbostat to be more lightweight.
Otherwise, the operation of turbostat itself
can interfere with the measurements.

This re-write makes turbostat topology aware.
Hardware is accessed in "topology order".
Redundant hardware accesses are deleted.
Redundant output is deleted.
Also, output is buffered and
local RDTSC use replaces remote MSR access for TSC.

From a feature point of view, the output
looks different since redundant figures are absent.
Also, there are now -c and -p options -- to restrict
output to the 1st thread in each core, and the 1st
thread in each package, respectively.  This is helpful
to reduce output on big systems, where more detail
than the "-s" system summary is desired.
Finally, periodic mode output is now on stdout, not stderr.

Turbostat v2 is also slightly more robust in
handling run-time CPU online/offline events,
as it now checks the actual map of on-line cpus rather
than just the total number of on-line cpus.

Above the cycle soaker drives cpu6 up 3.6 Ghz turbo limit

Above the cycle soaker drives cpu7 up its 3.6 Ghz turbo limit

while the other processors are generally in various states of idle.



Note that cpu0 is an HT sibling sharing core0

with cpu6, and thus it is unable to get to an idle state

deeper than c1 while cpu6 is busy.

Note that cpu1 and cpu7 are HT siblings within core8.

As cpu7 is very busy, it prevents its sibling, cpu1,

from entering a c-state deeper than c1.



Note that turbostat reports average GHz of 3.64, while

Note that turbostat reports average GHz of 3.63, while

the arithmetic average of the GHz column above is lower.

This is a weighted average, where the weight is %c0.  ie. it is the total number of

un-halted cycles elapsed per time divided by the number of CPUs.
