    tools/cpupower: Choose base_cpu to display default cpupower details · 5975e255
    Saket Kumar Bhaskar authored
    The default output of cpupower info utils shows unexpected output
    when CPU 0 is disabled.
    
    Considering a case where CPU 0 is disabled, output of cpupower idle-info:
    
    Before change:
    cpupower idle-info
    CPUidle driver: pseries_idle
    CPUidle governor: menu
    analyzing CPU 0:
     *is offline
    
    After change:
    ./cpupower idle-info
    CPUidle driver: pseries_idle
    CPUidle governor: menu
    analyzing CPU 50:
    
    Number of idle states: 2
    Available idle states: snooze CEDE
    snooze:
    Flags/Description: snooze
    Latency: 0
    Usage: 101748
    Duration: 2724058
    CEDE:
    Flags/Description: CEDE
    Latency: 12
    Usage: 270004
    Duration: 283019526849
    
    If -c option is not passed, CPU 0 was chosen as the default chosen CPU to
    display details. However when CPU 0 is offline, it results in showing
    unexpected output. This commit chooses the base_cpu
    instead of CPU 0, hence keeping the output more relevant in all cases.
    The base_cpu is the number of CPU on which the calling thread is
    currently executing.
