ACPI, cpuidle: Clarify C-state description in sysfs

2008-02-14T05:09:55Z

Add a new sysfs entry under cpuidle states. desc - can be used by driver to communicate to userspace any specific information about the state. This helps in identifying the exact hardware C-states behind the ACPI C-state definition. Idea is to export this through powertop, which will help to map the C-state reported by powertop to actual hardware C-state. Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPI: enable MWAIT for C1 idle

2008-02-07T07:12:13Z

Add MWAIT idle for C1 state instead of halt, on platforms that support C1 state with MWAIT. Renames cx->space_id to something more appropriate. Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPI : Update T-state coordination after getting _TSD info

2008-02-02T07:30:11Z

Accordint to ACPI spec, the _TSD object provides T-state control cross logical processor dependency information to OSPM. After the _TSD data for all cpus are obtained, OSPM will set up the T-state coordination between CPUs. Of course if the _TSD doesn't exist or _TSD data is incorrect , it is assumed that there is no T-state coordination and T-state is changed independently. Now there is no proper solution to update T-state coordination after one cpu is hotplugged. So this patch won't support hotplugged cpu very well. Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPI: register ACPI Processor as generic thermal cooling device

2008-02-02T04:18:19Z

Register ACPI processor as thermal cooling devices. A combination of processor T-state and P-state are used for thermal throttling. the processor will reduce the frequency first and then set the T-state. we use cpufreq_thermal_reduction_pctg to calculate the cpufreq limit, and call cpufreq_verify_with_limit to set the cpufreq limit. if cpufreq driver is loaded, then we have four cooling state for cpufreq control. cooling state 0: cpufreq limit == max_freq cooling state 1: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 80% cooling state 2: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 60% cooling state 3: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 40% after the cpufreq limit is set to 40 percentage of the max_freq, we use T-state for cooling. eg. a processor has P-state support, and it has 8 T-state (T0-T7), the max_state of the proceesor is 10: state cpufreq-limit T-state 0: max_freq T0 1: max_freq * 80% T0 2: max_freq * 60% T0 3: max_freq * 40% T0 4: max_freq * 40% T1 5: max_freq * 40% T2 6: max_freq * 40% T3 7: max_freq * 40% T4 8: max_freq * 40% T5 9: max_freq * 40% T6 10: max_freq * 40% T7 Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui Signed-off-by: Thomas Sujith Signed-off-by: Len Brown

cpuidle: fix HP nx6125 regression

2007-11-20T02:43:22Z

Fix for http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9355 cpuidle always used to fallback to C2 if there is some bm activity while entering C3. But, presence of C2 is not always guaranteed. Change cpuidle algorithm to detect a safe_state to fallback in case of bm_activity and use that state instead of C2. Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Signed-off-by: Len Brown
