| Description: Disable L3 cache indices |
| |
| These files exist in every CPU's cache/index3 directory. Each |
| cache_disable_{0,1} file corresponds to one disable slot which |
| can be used to disable a cache index. Reading from these files |
| on a processor with this functionality will return the currently |
| disabled index for that node. There is one L3 structure per |
| node, or per internal node on MCM machines. Writing a valid |
| index to one of these files will cause the specificed cache |
| index to be disabled. |

| All AMD processors with L3 caches provide this functionality. |

| - unthrottle : This file gives the total number of times the max |
| frequency is unthrottled after being throttled. |

| The Scaled Processor Utilization Resources Register |
| (SPURR) is a 64-bit counter that provides a frequency |
| invariant estimate of the resources used by the CPU |
| thread. The contents of this register increases |
| monotonically. This sysfs interface exposes the number |
| of SPURR ticks for cpuX. |
