[PATCH v5 2/2] powerpc: add support for new hcall H_BEST_ENERGY

Vaidyanathan Srinivasan svaidy at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Thu Oct 7 05:37:09 EST 2010


	Create sysfs interface to export data from H_BEST_ENERGY hcall
	that can be used by administrative tools on supported pseries
	platforms for energy management	optimizations.

	/sys/device/system/cpu/pseries_(de)activate_hint_list and
	/sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint will provide
	hints for activation and deactivation of cpus respectively.

	These hints are abstract number given by the hypervisor based
	on the extended knowledge the hypervisor has regarding the
	current system topology and resource mappings.

	The activate and the deactivate sysfs entry is for the two
	distinct operations that we could do for energy savings.  When
	we have more capacity than required, we could deactivate few
	core to save energy.  The choice of the core to deactivate
	will be based on /sys/devices/system/cpu/deactivate_hint_list.
	The comma separated list of cpus (cores) will be the preferred
	choice.  If we have to activate some of the deactivated cores,
	then /sys/devices/system/cpu/activate_hint_list will be used.

	The per-cpu file
	/sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint further
	provide more fine grain information by exporting the value of
	the hint itself.

	Added new driver module
		arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/pseries_energy.c
	under new config option CONFIG_PSERIES_ENERGY
