cpuidle: menu: Update documentation after previous changes

2025-01-13T19:41:39Z

After commit 38f83090f515 ("cpuidle: menu: Remove iowait influence") and other previous changes, the description of the menu governor in the documentation does not match the code any more, so update it as appropriate. Fixes: 38f83090f515 ("cpuidle: menu: Remove iowait influence") Fixes: 5484e31bbbff ("cpuidle: menu: Skip tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() call in some cases") Reported-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

docs: mm: fix the incorrect 'FileHugeMapped' field

2024-12-31T01:59:08Z

The '/proc/PID/smaps' does not have the 'FileHugeMapped' field to count the file transparent huge pages, instead, the 'FilePmdMapped' field should be used. Fix it.

cpufreq/amd-pstate: Store the boost numerator as highest perf again

2024-12-10T16:17:43Z

commit ad4caad58d91d ("cpufreq: amd-pstate: Merge amd_pstate_highest_perf_set() into amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator()") changed the semantics for highest perf and commit 18d9b52271213 ("cpufreq/amd-pstate: Use nominal perf for limits when boost is disabled") worked around those semantic changes. This however is a confusing result and furthermore makes it awkward to change frequency limits and boost due to the scaling differences. Restore the boost numerator to highest perf again.
