Support of energy performance hints
|
||||
It is possible to provide hints to the HWP algorithms in the processor
|
||||
to be more performance centric to more energy centric. When the driver
|
||||
is using HWP, two additional cpufreq sysfs attributes are presented for
|
||||
each logical CPU.
|
||||
These attributes are:
|
||||
- energy_performance_available_preferences
|
||||
- energy_performance_preference
|
||||
|
||||
To get list of supported hints:
|
||||
$ cat energy_performance_available_preferences
|
||||
default performance balance_performance balance_power power
|
||||
|
||||
The current preference can be read or changed via cpufreq sysfs
|
||||
attribute "energy_performance_preference". Reading from this attribute
|
||||
will display current effective setting. User can write any of the valid
|
||||
preference string to this attribute. User can always restore to power-on
|
||||
default by writing "default".
|
||||
|
||||
Since threads can migrate to different CPUs, this is possible that the
|
||||
new CPU may have different energy performance preference than the previous
|
||||
one. To avoid such issues, either threads can be pinned to specific CPUs
|
||||
or set the same energy performance preference value to all CPUs.
