Subject: [PATCH v2] hwmon: coretemp: avoid RDMSR interruptions to isolated CPUs
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2022 11:07:01 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y5x7hXGGLkcmejKq@tpad> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <68f76ac7-5edd-d437-8bef-e233f2876660@roeck-us.net>


The coretemp driver uses rdmsr_on_cpu calls to read
MSR_IA32_PACKAGE_THERM_STATUS/MSR_IA32_THERM_STATUS registers,
which contain information about current core temperature.

For certain low latency applications, the RDMSR interruption exceeds
the applications requirements.

So disallow reading of crit_alarm and temp files via /sys, returning 
-EINVAL, in case CPU isolation is enabled.

Temperature information from the housekeeping cores should be
sufficient to infer die temperature.

v2: improve changelog to mention that an error is returned,
    and sysfs file is not disabled (Guenter Roeck)
