On systems with >= 1024 cpus (in my case 1152), turbostat fails with the error output: "turbostat: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset.cpus.effective: cpu str malformat 0-1151" A similar error appears with the use of turbostat --cpu when the inputted cpu range contains a cpu number >= 1024: # turbostat -c 1100-1151 "--cpu 1100-1151" malformed ... Both errors are caused by parse_cpu_str() reaching its limit of CPU_SUBSET_MAXCPUS. It's a good idea to limit the maximum cpu number being parsed, but 1024 is too low. For a small increase in compute and allocated memory, increasing CPU_SUBSET_MAXCPUS brings support for parsing cpu numbers >= 1024. Increase CPU_SUBSET_MAXCPUS to 8192, a common setting for CONFIG_NR_CPUS on x86_64. Signed-off-by: Justin Ernst <justin.ernst@hpe.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
