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

* desc : Small description about the idle state (string)
|
|
* disable : Option to disable this idle state (bool) -> see note below
|
|
* latency : Latency to exit out of this idle state (in microseconds)
|
|
* residency : Time after which a state becomes more effecient than any
|
|
shallower state (in microseconds)
|
|
* name : Name of the idle state (string)
|
|
* power : Power consumed while in this idle state (in milliwatts)
|
|
* time : Total time spent in this idle state (in microseconds)
|
|
* usage : Number of times this state was entered (count)
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
The behavior and the effect of the disable variable depends on the
|
|
implementation of a particular governor. In the ladder governor, for
|
|
example, it is not coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state,
|
|
then all deeper states are disabled as well, but the disable variable
|
|
does not reflect it. Likewise, if one enables a deep state but a lighter
|
|
state still is disabled, then this has no effect.
