    perf/x86/intel/rapl: Convert it to a per package facility · 9de8d686
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    RAPL is a per package facility and we already have a mechanism for a dedicated
    per package reader. So there is no point to have multiple CPUs doing the
    same. The current implementation actually starts two timers on two CPUs if one
    does:
    
    	perf stat -C1,2 -e -e power/energy-pkg ....
    
    which makes the whole concept of 1 reader per package moot.
    
    What's worse is that the above returns the double of the actual energy
    consumption, but that's a different problem to address and cannot be solved by
    removing the pointless per cpuness of that mechanism.
