[PATCH 0/2] turbostat, support CPU0 hotplug

[Prarit Bhargava]

turbostat does not function properly on systems that support CPU0 hotplug.
When running turbostat on these systems the following error is seen.

[root@intel-chiefriver-04 ~]# turbostat ls
turbostat: no /dev/cpu/0/msr
Try "# modprobe msr": No such file or directory

This happens because in many places turbostat hardcodes 0, and calls
to check_dev_msr(), for example, will fail if CPU0 has been removed.

This patchset adds functionality to determine the lowest found cpu on the
system, and to use that value instead of 0.  This patchset also  moves
setup_all_buffers() to the beginning of the turbostat_init() so that
set_base_cpu() can take advantage of topo.max_cpu_num which is set in
setup_all_buffers().

After this change, on a system that has CPU0 removed,

[root@prarit ~]# ./turbostat -d -d ls

I have additionally tested various other hotplug configurations to make sure
that turbostat behaves correctly in those situations as well.

  turbostat, add base_cpu
  turbostat, add set_base_cpu()
