.Nm cpuctl
|
|
.Nd program to control CPUs
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm cpuctl
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
.Op Ar arguments
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command can be used to control and inspect the state of CPUs in the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first argument,
|
|
.Ar command ,
|
|
specifies the action to take.
|
|
Valid commands are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XofflineXcpunoX
|
|
.It identify Ar cpu
|
|
Output information on the specified CPU's features and capabilities.
|
|
Not available on all architectures.
|
|
.It list
|
|
For each CPU in the system, display the current state and time of the last
|
|
state change.
|
|
.It offline Ar cpuno
|
|
Set the specified CPU off line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Unbound LWPs (lightweight processes) will not be executed on the CPU
|
|
while it is off line.
|
|
Bound LWPs will continue to be executed on the CPU, and device interrupts
|
|
routed to the CPU will continue to be handled.
|
|
A future release of the system may allow device interrupts to be re-routed
|
|
away from individual CPUs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At least one CPU in the system must remain on line.
|
|
.It online Ar cpuno
|
|
Set the specified CPU on line, making it available to run unbound LWPs.
|
|
.It ucode Op Ar file
|
|
This applies the microcode patch on all CPUs.
|
|
The default filename is used if no filename is specified.
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm identify
|
|
command prints the installed version on that CPU.
|
|
On success the
|
|
.Cm identify
|
|
command show different ucode versions before and after this command.

.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width /dev/cpuctl -compact
|
|
.It Pa /dev/cpuctl
|
|
control device
|
|
.It Pa /libdata/firmware/x86/amd/
|
|
The directory to install the microcode file for AMD CPUs into.
|
|
The default filename is
|
|
.Pa microcode_amd.bin
|
|
for CPU families 0x10 to 0x14.
|
|
The default filename is
|
|
.Pa microcode_amd_famXXh.bin
|
|
where
|
|
.Dv XX
|
|
is the CPU family starting with 15 (hex).
|

|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Run
|
|
.Dl cpuctl identify 0
|
|
and you should see something like this:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
cpu0: UCode version: 0x1000080
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After applying the microcode patch with
|
|
.Dl cpuctl ucode
|
|
you can see with
|
|
.Dl cpuctl identify 0
|
|
that the patch got applied:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
cpu0: UCode version: 0x1000083
