Supporting multiple CPU idle levels in kernel
|
|
|
|
cpuidle sysfs
|
|
|
|
System global cpuidle related information and tunables are under
|
|
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle
|
|
|
|
The current interfaces in this directory has self-explanatory names:
|
|
* current_driver
|
|
* current_governor_ro
|
|
|
|
With cpuidle_sysfs_switch boot option (meant for developer testing)
|
|
following objects are visible instead.
|
|
* current_driver
|
|
* available_governors
|
|
* current_governor
|
|
In this case users can switch the governor at run time by writing
|
|
to current_governor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Per logical CPU specific cpuidle information are under
|
|
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle
|
|
for each online cpu X
