Currently, ClocksPerSec is determined by exec'ing getconf in func init,
i.e. on startup of every program importing the package. getconf might
not be present on some systems or is not executable by the current user.
To avoid this hard to control dependency, use the
github.com/tklauser/go-sysconf package which implements sysconf(3)
entirely in Go without cgo. The package is supported on all platforms
currently supported by the cpu and v3/cpu package of gopsutil.
Currently gopsutils fails to indentify the POWER processors family,
returning an almost empty Info() structure.
This patch improves the POWER identification without changing what is
available for x86.
* on virtualized host, this may happen.
* but we may have a value from parsing `/proc/cpuinfo`
* in this case, we do not return the error if we fail to extra
a value from `cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq`
* resolve#249
* in `cpu_windows.go`, `Mhz` is the value of `MaxClockSpeed`
* on Linux platform, the `Mhz` value is extracted from `/proc/cpuinfo`
which reflects the current clock speed; treat this as the fallback
value instead
* read from `cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq` under sysfs to get the
maximum clock speed for `Mhz`, just like for Windows platform
* also fix the path to `cpu.CoreID` value; the filename is `core_id`
* for Darwin, it is a minor tweak for readability: the value
returned is in Hz, so using a variable named 'hz' makes more
sense than 'mhz'
* for Linux, the unit is in kHz so we need to divide the value
from `cpuinfo_max_freq` by 10^3 to get MHz (see
cpu-freq/user-guide.txt of the kernel documentation)
Package common wasn't used for public functions. Place it in an
internal directory to prevent other packages from using.
Remove the distributed references to "HOST_PROC" and "HOST_SYS"
consts and combine into a common function. This also helps so that
if a env var is defined with a trailing slash all will continue to
work as expected.
Fixes#100
ARM CPUs don't include the same fields as x86 and amd64 CPUs in
the /proc/cpuinfo list. Pull information from the /sys/...
device tree as well as updating when a CPU is done in cpuinfo.
Fixes#88
Added the ability to fetch an alternative location for /proc via an
environment variable. If the env var is not set it will return /proc as
the default value.
