I've encountered an issue with x86_energy_perf_policy. If I run it on a machine that I'm told is a qemu-kvm virtual machine running inside a privileged container, I get the following error: x86_energy_perf_policy: /dev/cpu/0/msr offset 0x1ad read failed: Input/output error I get the same error in a Digital Ocean droplet, so that might be a similar environment. I created the following patch which is intended to give a more user-friendly message. It's based on a patch for turbostat from Prarit Bhargava that was posted some time ago. The patch is "[v2] turbostat: Running on virtual machine is not supported" [1]. Given my limited knowledge of the topic, I can't say with confidence that this is the right solution, though (that's why this is not an official patch submission). Also, I'm not sure what the convention with exit codes is in this tool. Also, instead of the error message, perhaps the tool should just not print anything in this case, which is how it behaves in a "regular" VM?

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
