Subject[PATCH] iSeries legacy model emulation of PURR
Andrew,

Here's a patch to extend the current Linux on Power support for PURR to
legacy IBM iSeries servers (pre-Power5 processor models). This patch
enables the reporting of timebase metrics to reflect physical processor
utilization in a system running multiple logical partitions which share
the same physical processors.

The patch simply uses existing user interfaces for Linux IBM Power5
based servers to report data already collected by the hypervisor. The
values reported with each call are running values in units of the system
timebase. The calculation of physical processor utilization results
from two samples (purr1 and purr2) differing by a know interval (time)
such that:
physical utilization = (purr2 - purr1) / (time * number of procs *
timebase)
where the number of procs and timebase can be obtained from /proc/cpuinfo.

Applications have been written to the interface already defined and
these applications have value back on the legacy iSeries models.

Please consider this patch for inclusion. It has been reviewed by Stephen.
