Len Brown 15aaa34654 tools turbostat: harden against cpu online/offline
Sometimes users have turbostat running in interval mode
when they take processors offline/online.

Previously, turbostat would survive, but not gracefully.

Tighten up the error checking so turbostat notices
changesn sooner, and print just 1 line on change:

turbostat: re-initialized with num_cpus %d

Len Brown 88c3281f7b tools turbostat: reduce measurement overhead due to IPIs
turbostat uses /dev/cpu/*/msr interface to read MSRs.
For modern systems, it reads 10 MSR/CPU.  This can
be observed as 10 "Function Call Interrupts"
per CPU per sample added to /proc/interrupts.

This overhead is measurable on large idle systems,
and as Yoquan Song pointed out, it can even trick
cpuidle into thinking the system is busy.

Here turbostat re-schedules itself in-turn to each
CPU so that its MSR reads will always be local.
This replaces the 10 "Function Call Interrupts"
with a single "Rescheduling interrupt" per sample
per CPU.

On an idle 32-CPU system, this shifts some residency from
the shallow c1 state to the deeper c7 state:

Len Brown 103a8fea9b tools: create power/x86/turbostat
turbostat is a Linux tool to observe proper operation
of Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology.

turbostat displays the actual processor frequency
on x86 processors that include APERF and MPERF MSRs.

Note that turbostat is of limited utility on Linux
kernels 2.6.29 and older, as acpi_cpufreq cleared
APERF/MPERF up through that release.

On Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Nehalem) and newer processors,
turbostat also displays residency in idle power saving states,
which are necessary for diagnosing any cpuidle issues
that may have an effect on turbo-mode.

See the turbostat.8 man page for example usage.
