cpufreq: Drop cpufreq_table_validate_and_show()

2018-04-10T06:40:45+00:00

This isn't used anymore. Remove the helper and update documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpufreq: Add and use cpufreq_for_each_{valid_,}entry_idx()

2018-02-08T09:21:39+00:00

Pointer subtraction is slow and tedious. Therefore, replace all instances where cpufreq_for_each_{valid_,}entry loops contained such substractions with an iteration macro providing an index to the frequency_table entry.

cpufreq: stats: Handle the case when trans_table goes beyond PAGE_SIZE

2017-11-08T22:41:25+00:00

On platforms with large number of Pstates, the transition table, which is a NxN matrix, can overflow beyond the PAGE_SIZE boundary. This can be seen on POWER9 which has 100+ Pstates. As a result, each time the trans_table is read for any of the CPUs, we will get the following error. --------------------------------------------------- fill_read_buffer: show+0x0/0xa0 returned bad count --------------------------------------------------- This patch ensures that in case of an overflow, we print a warning once in the dmesg and return FILE TOO LARGE error for this and all subsequent accesses of trans_table.

cpufreq: docs: Drop intel-pstate.txt from index.txt

2017-09-28T00:08:43+00:00

Commit 33fc30b47098 (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Document the current behavior and user interface) dropped the intel-pstate.txt file from Documentation/cpu-freq/, but it did not update the index.txt file in there accordingly, so do that now.

cpufreq: intel_pstate: Document the current behavior and user interface

2017-05-14T00:06:03+00:00

Add a document describing the current behavior and user space interface of the intel_pstate driver in the RST format and drop the existing outdated intel_pstate.txt document. Also update admin-guide/pm/cpufreq.rst with proper RST references to the new intel_pstate.rst document. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpufreq: User/admin documentation update and consolidation

2017-03-13T23:08:42+00:00

The user/admin documentation of cpufreq is badly outdated. It conains stale and/or inaccurate information along with things that are not particularly useful. Also, some of the important pieces are missing from it. For this reason, add a new user/admin document for cpufreq containing current information to admin-guide and drop the old outdated .txt documents it is replacing. Since there will be more PM documents in admin-guide going forward, create a separate directory for them and put the cpufreq document in there right away. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

cpufreq: intel_pstate: Operation mode control from sysfs

2017-02-03T23:05:31+00:00

Make it possible to change the operation mode of intel_pstate with the help of a new sysfs attribute called "status". There are three possible configurations that can be selected using this attribute: "off" - The driver is not in use at this time. "active" - The driver works as a P-state governor (default). "passive" - The driver works as a regular cpufreq one and collaborates with the generic cpufreq governors (it sets P-states as requested by those governors). [This is the same mode the driver can be started in by passing intel_pstate=passive in the kernel command line.] The current setting is returned by reads from this attribute. Writing one of the above strings to it changes the operation mode as indicated by that string, if possible. If HW-managed P-states (HWP) feature is enabled, it is not possible to change the driver's operation mode and attempts to write to this attribute will fail. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

cpufreq: Documentation: Updates based on current code

2017-02-03T22:59:40+00:00

The cpufreq core has gone though lots of updates in recent times, but on many occasions the documentation wasn't updated along with the code. This patch tries to catchup the documentation with the code. Also add Rafael and Viresh as the contributors to the documentation. Based on a patch from Claudio Scordino.
