Documentation: amd-pstate: disambiguate user space sections

2023-02-15T14:58:16Z

kernel test robot reported htmldocs warning: Documentation/admin-guide/pm/amd-pstate.rst:343: WARNING: duplicate label admin-guide/pm/amd-pstate:user space interface in ``sysfs``, other instance in Documentation/admin-guide/pm/amd-pstate.rst The documentation contains two sections with the same "User Space Interface in ``sysfs``" title. The first one deals with per-policy sysfs and the second one is about general attributes (currently only global attributes are documented). Disambiguate title text of both sections to fix the warning.

Documentation: amd-pstate: introduce new global sysfs attributes

2023-02-03T20:59:42Z

The amd-pstate driver supports switching working modes at runtime. Users can view and change modes by interacting with the "status" sysfs attribute. 1) check driver mode: $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd-pstate/status 2) switch mode: `# echo "passive" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd-pstate/status` or `# echo "active" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd-pstate/status` Acked-by: Huang Rui Reviewed-by: Mario Limonciello Reviewed-by: Wyes Karny Tested-by: Wyes Karny Signed-off-by: Perry Yuan Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

The amd-pstate driver has two operation modes supported: * CPPC Autonomous (active) mode * CPPC non-autonomous (passive) mode. active mode and passive mode can be chosen by different kernel parameters.

Documentation: amd-pstate: add EPP profiles introduction

2023-02-03T20:59:41Z

The amd-pstate driver supports a feature called energy performance preference (EPP). Add information to the documentation to explain how users can interact with the sysfs files for this feature. 1) See all EPP profiles $ sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/energy_performance_available_preferences default performance balance_performance balance_power power 2) Check current EPP profile $ sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference performance 3) Set new EPP profile $ sudo bash -c "echo power > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference" Acked-by: Huang Rui Reviewed-by: Mario Limonciello Reviewed-by: Wyes Karny Tested-by: Wyes Karny Signed-off-by: Perry Yuan Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

docs: ftrace: always use canonical ftrace path

2023-01-31T21:02:30Z

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.
