[PATCH 1/3] cpu: Offline state Framework.

Gautham R Shenoy ego at in.ibm.com
Thu Aug 6 00:25:58 EST 2009


Provide an interface by which the system administrator can decide what state
should the CPU go to when it is offlined.

To query the available offline states, on needs to perform a read on:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<number>/available_offline_states

To query or set the preferred offline state for a particular CPU, one needs to
use the sysfs interface

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<number>/preferred_offline_state

This patch implements the architecture independent bits of the
cpu-offline-state framework.

The architecture specific bits are expected to register the actual code which
implements the callbacks when the above mentioned sysfs interfaces are read or
written into. Thus the values provided by reading available_offline_states are
expected to vary with the architecture.
