bool "Generic powercap sysfs driver"
help
The power capping sysfs interface allows kernel subsystems to expose power
capping settings to user space in a consistent way. Usually, it consists
of multiple control types that determine which settings may be exposed and
power zones representing parts of the system that can be subject to power
capping.
If you want this code to be compiled in, say Y here.

config INTEL_RAPL
tristate "Intel RAPL Support via MSR Interface"
depends on X86 && IOSF_MBI
select INTEL_RAPL_CORE
help
This enables support for the Intel Running Average Power Limit (RAPL)
technology via MSR interface, which allows power limits to be enforced
and monitored on modern Intel processors (Sandy Bridge and later).
In RAPL, the platform level settings are divided into domains for
fine grained control. These domains include processor package, DRAM
controller, CPU core (Power Plane 0), graphics uncore (Power Plane
1), etc.
config IDLE_INJECT
bool "Idle injection framework"
depends on CPU_IDLE
default n
help
This enables support for the idle injection framework. It
provides a way to force idle periods on a set of specified
CPUs for power capping. Idle period can be injected
synchronously on a set of specified CPUs or alternatively
on a per CPU basis.
powercap/drivers/dtpm: Add API for dynamic thermal power management On the embedded world, the complexity of the SoC leads to an increasing number of hotspots which need to be monitored and mitigated as a whole in order to prevent the temperature to go above the normative and legally stated 'skin temperature'. Another aspect is to sustain the performance for a given power budget, for example virtual reality where the user can feel dizziness if the GPU performance is capped while a big CPU is processing something else. Or reduce the battery charging because the dissipated power is too high compared with the power consumed by other devices. The userspace is the most adequate place to dynamically act on the different devices by limiting their power given an application profile: it has the knowledge of the platform. These userspace daemons are in charge of the Dynamic Thermal Power Management (DTPM). Nowadays, the dtpm daemons are abusing the thermal framework as they act on the cooling device state to force a specific and arbitrary state without taking care of the governor decisions. Given the closed loop of some governors that can confuse the logic or directly enter in a decision conflict. As the number of cooling device support is limited today to the CPU and the GPU, the dtpm daemons have little control on the power dissipation of the system. The out of tree solutions are hacking around here and there in the drivers, in the frameworks to have control on the devices. The common solution is to declare them as cooling devices. There is no unification of the power limitation unit, opaque states are used. This patch provides a way to create a hierarchy of constraints using the powercap framework. The devices which are registered as power limit-able devices are represented in this hierarchy as a tree. They are linked together with intermediate nodes which are just there to propagate the constraint to the children. The leaves of the tree are the real devices, the intermediate nodes are virtual, aggregating the children constraints and power characteristics. Each node have a weight on a 2^10 basis, in order to reflect the percentage of power distribution of the children's node. This percentage is used to dispatch the power limit to the children. The weight is computed against the max power of the siblings. This simple approach allows to do a fair distribution of the power limit.
