Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base

Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.

It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:

commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
Date:   Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200

    Prepare v4.1.3-rt3

    Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

+The cpupower package consists of the following elements:
+
+requirements
+------------
+
+On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci).
+For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version
+providing cpuid.h is needed.
+For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet).
+
+
+libcpupower
+----------
+
+"libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace
+tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This
+allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of
+the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc
+interfaces [depending on configuration, see below].
+
+
+compilation and installation
+----------------------------
+
+make
+su
+make install
+
+should suffice on most systems. It builds libcpupower to put in
+/usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and
+cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. If you want to set up the paths
+differently and/or want to configure the package to your specific
+needs, you need to open "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and
+edit the block marked CONFIGURATION.
+
+
+THANKS
+------
+Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and
+libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpupower;
+to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his
+powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file;
+and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of 
+cpupower.

+This is cpufreq-bench, a microbenchmark for the cpufreq framework.
+
+Purpose
+=======
+
+What is this benchmark for:
+  - Identify worst case performance loss when doing dynamic frequency
+    scaling using Linux kernel governors
+  - Identify average reaction time of a governor to CPU load changes
+  - (Stress) Testing whether a cpufreq low level driver or governor works
+    as expected
+  - Identify cpufreq related performance regressions between kernels
+  - Possibly Real time priority testing? -> what happens if there are
+    processes with a higher prio than the governor's kernel thread
+  - ...
+
+What this benchmark does *not* cover:
+  - Power saving related regressions (In fact as better the performance
+    throughput is, the worse the power savings will be, but the first should
+    mostly count more...)
+  - Real world (workloads)
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+cpufreq-bench helps to test the condition of a given cpufreq governor.
+For that purpose, it compares the performance governor to a configured
+powersave module.
+
+
+How it works
+============
+You can specify load (100% CPU load) and sleep (0% CPU load) times in us which
+will be run X time in a row (cycles):
+
+         sleep=25000
+         load=25000
+         cycles=20
+
+This part of the configuration file will create 25ms load/sleep turns,
+repeated 20 times.
+
+Adding this:
+         sleep_step=25000
+         load_step=25000
+         rounds=5
+Will increase load and sleep time by 25ms 5 times.
+Together you get following test:
+25ms  load/sleep time repeated 20 times (cycles).
+50ms  load/sleep time repeated 20 times (cycles).
+..
+100ms load/sleep time repeated 20 times (cycles).
+
+First it is calibrated how long a specific CPU intensive calculation
+takes on this machine and needs to be run in a loop using the performance
+governor.
+Then the above test runs are processed using the performance governor
+and the governor to test. The time the calculation really needed
+with the dynamic freq scaling governor is compared with the time needed
+on full performance and you get the overall performance loss.
+
+
+Example of expected results with ondemand governor:
+
+This shows expected results of the first two test run rounds from
+above config, you there have:
+
+100% CPU load (load) | 0 % CPU load (sleep)  | round
+   25 ms             |    25 ms              |   1
+   50 ms             |    50 ms              |   2
+
+For example if ondemand governor is configured to have a 50ms
+sampling rate you get:
+
+In round 1, ondemand should have rather static 50% load and probably
+won't ever switch up (as long as up_threshold is above).
+
+In round 2, if the ondemand sampling times exactly match the load/sleep
+trigger of the cpufreq-bench, you will see no performance loss (compare with
+below possible ondemand sample kick ins (1)):
+
+But if ondemand always kicks in in the middle of the load sleep cycles, it
+will always see 50% loads and you get worst performance impact never
+switching up (compare with below possible ondemand sample kick ins (2))::
+
+      50     50   50   50ms ->time
+load -----|     |-----|     |-----|     |-----|
+          |     |     |     |     |     |     |
+sleep     |-----|     |-----|     |-----|     |----
+    |-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|----  ondemand sampling (1)
+         100    0    100    0    100    0    100     load seen by ondemand(%)
+       |-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|--   ondemand sampling (2)
+      50     50    50    50    50    50    50        load seen by ondemand(%)
+
+You can easily test all kind of load/sleep times and check whether your
+governor in average behaves as expected.

+cpufreq-bench Command Usage
+===========================
+-l, --load=<long int>           initial load time in us
+-s, --sleep=<long int>          initial sleep time in us
+-x, --load-step=<long int>      time to be added to load time, in us
+-y, --sleep-step=<long int>     time to be added to sleep time, in us
+-c, --cpu=<unsigned int>        CPU Number to use, starting at 0
+-p, --prio=<priority>           scheduler priority, HIGH, LOW or DEFAULT
+-g, --governor=<governor>       cpufreq governor to test
+-n, --cycles=<int>              load/sleep cycles to get an avarage value to compare
+-r, --rounds<int>               load/sleep rounds
+-f, --file=<configfile>         config file to use
+-o, --output=<dir>              output dir, must exist
+-v, --verbose                   verbose output on/off
+
+Due to the high priority, the application may not be responsible for some time.
+After the benchmark, the logfile is saved in OUTPUTDIR/benchmark_TIMESTAMP.log

+
+.SH IDLE\-INFO DESCRIPTIONS
+CPU sleep state statistics and descriptions are retrieved from sysfs files,
+exported by the cpuidle kernel subsystem. The kernel only updates these
+statistics when it enters or leaves an idle state, therefore on a very idle or
+a very busy system, these statistics may not be accurate. They still provide a
+good overview about the usage and availability of processor sleep states on
+the platform.
+
+Be aware that the sleep states as exported by the hardware or BIOS and used by
+the Linux kernel may not exactly reflect the capabilities of the
+processor. This often is the case on the X86 architecture when the acpi_idle
+driver is used. It is also possible that the hardware overrules the kernel
+requests, due to internal activity monitors or other reasons.
+On recent X86 platforms it is often possible to read out hardware registers
+which monitor the duration of sleep states the processor resided in. The
+cpupower monitor tool (cpupower\-monitor(1)) can be used to show real sleep
+state residencies. Please refer to the architecture specific description
+section below.
+
+.SH IDLE\-INFO ARCHITECTURE SPECIFIC DESCRIPTIONS
+.SS "X86"
+POLL idle state
+
+If cpuidle is active, X86 platforms have one special idle state.
+The POLL idle state is not a real idle state, it does not save any
+power. Instead, a busy\-loop is executed doing nothing for a short period of
+time. This state is used if the kernel knows that work has to be processed
+very soon and entering any real hardware idle state may result in a slight
+performance penalty.
+
+There exist two different cpuidle drivers on the X86 architecture platform:
+
+"acpi_idle" cpuidle driver
+
+The acpi_idle cpuidle driver retrieves available sleep states (C\-states) from
+the ACPI BIOS tables (from the _CST ACPI function on recent platforms or from
+the FADT BIOS table on older ones).
+The C1 state is not retrieved from ACPI tables. If the C1 state is entered,
+the kernel will call the hlt instruction (or mwait on Intel).
+
+"intel_idle" cpuidle driver
+
+In kernel 2.6.36 the intel_idle driver was introduced.
+It only serves recent Intel CPUs (Nehalem, Westmere, Sandybridge, Atoms or
+newer). On older Intel CPUs the acpi_idle driver is still used (if the BIOS
+provides C\-state ACPI tables).
+The intel_idle driver knows the sleep state capabilities of the processor and
+ignores ACPI BIOS exported processor sleep states tables.
+
+.SH "REMARKS"
+.LP
+By default only values of core zero are displayed. How to display settings of
+other cores is described in the cpupower(1) manpage in the \-\-cpu option
+section.

+Cpuidle Governors Policy on Disabling Sleep States
+
+.RS 4
+Depending on the used  cpuidle governor, implementing the kernel policy
+how to choose sleep states, subsequent sleep states on this core, might get
+disabled as well.
+
+There are two cpuidle governors ladder and menu. While the ladder
+governor is always available, if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is selected, the
+menu governor additionally requires CONFIG_NO_HZ.
+
+The behavior and the effect of the disable variable depends on the
+implementation of a particular governor. In the ladder governor, for
+example, it is not coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state,
+then all deeper states are disabled as well. Likewise, if one enables a
+deep state but a lighter state still is disabled, then this has no effect.
+.RE
+.LP
+Disabling the Lightest Sleep State may not have any Affect
+
+.RS 4
+If criteria are not met to enter deeper sleep states and the lightest sleep
+state is chosen when idle, the kernel may still enter this sleep state,
+irrespective of whether it is disabled or not. This is also reflected in
+the usage count of the disabled sleep state when using the cpupower idle-info
+command.
+.RE
+.LP
+Selecting specific CPU Cores
+
+.RS 4
+By default processor sleep states of all CPU cores are set. Please refer
+to the cpupower(1) manpage in the \-\-cpu option section how to disable
+C-states of specific cores.

+\fBcpupower-monitor \fP reports processor topology, frequency and idle power
+state statistics. Either \fBcommand\fP is forked and
+statistics are printed upon its completion, or statistics are printed periodically.

+directly reading out hardware registers. Use \-l to get an overview which are
+supported on your system.

+
+.SH MONITOR DESCRIPTIONS
+.SS "Idle_Stats"
+Shows statistics of the cpuidle kernel subsystem. Values are retrieved from
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpuidle/state*/.
+The kernel updates these values every time an idle state is entered or
+left. Therefore there can be some inaccuracy when cores are in an idle
+state for some time when the measure starts or ends. In worst case it can happen
+that one core stayed in an idle state for the whole measure time and the idle
+state usage time as exported by the kernel did not get updated. In this case
+a state residency of 0 percent is shown while it was 100.
+
+.SS "Mperf"
+The name comes from the aperf/mperf (average and maximum) MSR registers used
+which are available on recent X86 processors. It shows the average frequency
+(including boost frequencies).
+The fact that on all recent hardware the mperf timer stops ticking in any idle
+state it is also used to show C0 (processor is active) and Cx (processor is in
+any sleep state) times. These counters do not have the inaccuracy restrictions
+the "Idle_Stats" counters may show.
+May work poorly on Linux-2.6.20 through 2.6.29, as the \fBacpi-cpufreq \fP
+kernel frequency driver periodically cleared aperf/mperf registers in those
+kernels.
+
+.SS "Nehalem" "SandyBridge" "HaswellExtended"
+Intel Core and Package sleep state counters.
+Threads (hyperthreaded cores) may not be able to enter deeper core states if
+its sibling is utilized.
+Deepest package sleep states may in reality show up as machine/platform wide
+sleep states and can only be entered if all cores are idle. Look up Intel
+manuals (some are provided in the References section) for further details.
+The monitors are named after the CPU family where the sleep state capabilities
+got introduced and may not match exactly the CPU name of the platform.
+For example an IvyBridge processor has sleep state capabilities which got
+introduced in Nehalem and SandyBridge processor families.
+Thus on an IvyBridge processor one will get Nehalem and SandyBridge sleep
+state monitors.
+HaswellExtended extra package sleep state capabilities are available only in a
+specific Haswell (family 0x45) and probably also other future processors.
+
+.SS "Fam_12h" "Fam_14h"
+AMD laptop and desktop processor (family 12h and 14h) sleep state counters.
+The registers are accessed via PCI and therefore can still be read out while
+cores have been offlined.
+
+There is one special counter: NBP1 (North Bridge P1).
+This one always returns 0 or 1, depending on whether the North Bridge P1
+power state got entered at least once during measure time.
+Being able to enter NBP1 state also depends on graphics power management.
+Therefore this counter can be used to verify whether the graphics' driver
+power management is working as expected.
+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+
+cpupower monitor -l" may show:
+.RS 4
+Monitor "Mperf" (3 states) \- Might overflow after 922000000 s
+
+   ...
+
+Monitor "Idle_Stats" (3 states) \- Might overflow after 4294967295 s
+
+   ...
+
+.RE
+cpupower monitor \-m "Idle_Stats,Mperf" scp /tmp/test /nfs/tmp
+
+Monitor the scp command, show both Mperf and Idle_Stats states counter
+statistics, but in exchanged order.
+
+
+
+.RE
+Be careful that the typical command to fully utilize one CPU by doing:
+
+cpupower monitor cat /dev/zero >/dev/null
+
+Does not work as expected, because the measured output is redirected to
+/dev/null. This could get workarounded by putting the line into an own, tiny
+shell script. Hit CTRL\-c to terminate the command and get the measure output
+displayed.

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.ft B
+.B cpupower set [ \-b VAL ]
+
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBcpupower set \fP sets kernel configurations or directly accesses hardware
+registers affecting processor power saving policies.
+
+Some options are platform wide, some affect single cores. By default values
+are applied on all cores. How to modify single core configurations is
+described in the cpupower(1) manpage in the \-\-cpu option section. Whether an
+option affects the whole system or can be applied to individual cores is
+described in the Options sections.
+
+Use \fBcpupower info \fP to read out current settings and whether they are
+supported on the system at all.
+
+.SH Options
+.PP
+\-\-perf-bias, \-b
+.RS 4
+Sets a register on supported Intel processore which allows software to convey
+its policy for the relative importance of performance versus energy savings to
+the  processor.
+
+The range of valid numbers is 0-15, where 0 is maximum
+performance and 15 is maximum energy efficiency.
+
+The processor uses this information in model-specific ways
+when it must select trade-offs between performance and
+energy efficiency.
+
+This policy hint does not supersede Processor Performance states
+(P-states) or CPU Idle power states (C-states), but allows
+software to have influence where it would otherwise be unable
+to express a preference.
+
+For example, this setting may tell the hardware how
+aggressively or conservatively to control frequency
+in the "turbo range" above the explicitly OS-controlled
+P-state frequency range.  It may also tell the hardware
+how aggressively it should enter the OS requested C-states.
+
+This option can be applied to individual cores only via the \-\-cpu option,
+cpupower(1).
+
+Setting the performance bias value on one CPU can modify the setting on
+related CPUs as well (for example all CPUs on one socket), because of
+hardware restrictions.
+Use \fBcpupower -c all info -b\fP to verify.
+
+This options needs the msr kernel driver (CONFIG_X86_MSR) loaded.
