+Power PBF Tests
+=================================================
+PBF(Priority Base Frequency) is new power feature on some Intel CPU SKU. This feature can
+support some core in core list have garenteed higher base frequency DPDK start support this feature from 19.05
+
+Preparation work
+================
+Check the SKU of Processor: 6230N, 6252N and 5218N can support this feature
+1. Turn on Speedstep option in BIOS
+2. Set C-State to C0/C1
+3. Turn on Turbo in BIOS
+4. Turn on PBF in BIOS
+5. Set HW Pstate to "Native Mode without Legacy Support"
+6. Turn on RAPL Prioritization
+7. Modprobe msr module
+8. DON'T set intel_pstate to disable in grub
+9. Turn on the debug log for DPDK power lib, CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_POWER_DEBUG=y
+
+Test Case1 : Check High Priority Core Can Be Recognized By Power Lib
+====================================================================
+Step 1. Create powermonitor fold for::
+
+    Create power monitor channel folder, /tmp/powermonitor, give permission for read and write
+
+Step 2. Compile DPDK with Power Lib debug info on, then Luanch VM power manager sample::
+
+    ./examples/vm_power_manager/build/vm_power_mgr -l 1-4 -n 4 --file-prefix=power --no-pci
+
+    Check two different base_max frequency will be shown in log, for example on Intel 6230N Processor:
+    The log will be like as following
+    POWER: power_get_available_freqs: sys min 800000, sys max 3900000, base_max 2300000
+    POWER: power_get_available_freqs: sys min 800000, sys max 3900000, base_max 2700000
+
+    For each core, get following 3 frequency item, cross check frequency in the VM_power out put log:
+    sys_min=sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{}/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq
+    sys_max=sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{}/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
+    base_max=sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{}/cpufreq/base_frequency
+
+    Take Intel 6230N Processor as example:
+    sys_min=800000
+    sys_max=3900000
+    base_max=2700000(high priority Core) base_max=2300000 (Normal Core)
+
+    The high priority core has max frequency at 27000000
+    Normal core has max frequency at 2300000
+
+Test Case2 : CPU MIN and MAX Freq Test for the High Priority Core
+=================================================================
+Step 1. Create powermonitor fold for::
+
+    Create monitor channel folder, /tmp/powermonitor, give permission for read and write
+
+Step 2. Compile DPDK with Power Lib debug info on, then aunch VM power manager sample::
+
+    ./examples/vm_power_manager/build/vm_power_mgr -l 1-4 -n 4 --file-prefix=power --no-pci
+
+Step 3. Prepare different command in JSON format::
+
+    From Test Case1, can get the high priority core list. We pick one core from this list
+    Command JSON file template:
+    {"instruction": {
+    "name": "policy1",
+    "command": "power",
+    "unit": "SCALE_MIN",
+    }}
+
+Step 4: Send different command to power sample, then check the frequency::
+
+    Command Steps: ENABLE_TURBO-> SCALE_MAX-> SCALE_DOWN-> SCALE_MIN
+    Send action JSON file to vm_power_mgr's fifo channel, each core will have it's own channel:
+    cat command.json >/tmp/powermonitor/fifo{core_number}
+
+    Check the CPU frequency is changed accordingly in previous list by following method:
+    min=sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{}/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
+    max=sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{}/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
+    Step SCALE_MAX: min=max=sys_max
+    Step SCALE_DOWN: min=max=base_max
+    Step SCALE_MIN: min=max=sys_min
+
+
+    More info about the command:
+    :"SCALE_MAX": Scale frequency of this core to maximum
+    :"SCALE_MIN": Scale frequency of this core to minimum
+    :"SCALE_UP": Scale up frequency of this core
+    :"SCALE_DOWN": Scale down frequency of this core
+    :"ENABLE_TURBO": Enable Turbo Boost for this core
+    :"DISABLE_TURBO": Disable Turbo Boost for this core
+
+Test Case3 : Check "DISABLE_TURBO" Action When Core is In Turbo Status for High Priority Core
+==============================================================================================
+Step 1. Create powermonitor fold for::
+
+   Create monitor channel folder, /tmp/powermonitor, give permission 777
+
+Step 2. Compile DPDK with Power Lib debug info on, then launch VM power manager sample::
+
+ ./examples/vm_power_manager/build/vm_power_mgr -l 1-4 -n 4 --file-prefix=power --no-pci
+
+Step 3. Prepare Several command in JSON format then send it to the fifo channel for the high priority core::
+
+    {"instruction": {
+    "name": "policy2",
+    "command": "power",
+    "unit": "SCALE_MIN",
+    }}
+    cat command.json >/tmp/powermonitor/fifo{core_number}
+
+    Command Steps: ENABLE_TURBO -> SCALE_MAX ->DISABLE_TURBO
+
+Step 4. Check the CPU frequency will be set to No turbo max frequency when turbo is off::
+
+        min=sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{}/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
+        max=sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{}/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
+        Check point of Step SCALE_MAX: min=max=sys_max
+        Check point of Step DISABLE_TURBO: min=max=base_max
+
+
+Test Case4:  Check Distributor Sample Use High Priority Core as Distribute Core
+======================================================================================
+Step 1. Get the Priority core list on DUT in test case 1::
+
+    For example:
+    6,7,13,14,15,16,21,26,27,29,36,38
+    On one Intel 6230N Processor
+    Note: the high base frequency core location of each processor is different.
+
+Step 2. Launch distributor with 1 priority core, check the high priority core will be picked as the distributor core::
+
+    Two worker:
+    ./distributor_app -l 1-6  -n 4 -- -p 0x1
+
+    Check the high priority core is assigned as distributor core in log, for example:
+    "Core 6 acting as distributor core."
+
+Test Case5:  Check Distributor Sample Will use High priority core for distribute core and rx/tx core
+====================================================================================================
+Step 1. Get the Priority core list on DUT in test case 1::
+
+    Using pbf.py to check, or check from kernel
+    For example:
+    6,7,13,14,15,16,21,26,27,29,36,38
+    On one intel 6230N Processor
+    Note: the high base frequency core location of each processor are different.
+
+Step 2. Launch distributor with 3 priority core, check the high priority
+core will be picked as the distributor core, rx and tx core::
+
+    For example, the high priority core is" 6,7 13"
+    ./distributor_app -l 1-6,7,13  -n 4 -- -p 0x1
+
+Step 3. Check the high priority core is assigned as distributor core in log, for example::
+
+   Distributor on priority core 6
+
+Step 4. Check the high priority core are assigned as tx/rx core in log, for example::
+
+   Core 13 doing packet TX.
+   Core 7 doing packet RX.
