RFC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/4/791 PATCH v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/16/805 PATCH v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/6/138 PATCH v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/12/2799 PATCH v4: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/16/532 Changelog v4 --> v5 Based on comments from Fabiano 1. Cleaned up unused/redundant headers 2. Make "add_attr_group" use MAX_ATTRS instead of paramterizing "len" 3. Cleanup previous "pgs[idx].pg.attrs" allocations on failiure 4. Replaced strlen call with strnlen 5. Cleanup of pgs structures for "num_attrs" instead of "MAX_ATTRS" Also, have implemented a POC using this interface for the powerpc-utils' ppc64_cpu --frequency command-line tool to utilize this information in userspace. The POC for the new interface has been hosted here: https://github.com/pratiksampat/powerpc-utils/tree/H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO_v2 Sample output from the powerpc-utils tool is as follows: # ppc64_cpu --frequency Power and Performance Mode: XXXX Idle Power Saver Status : XXXX Processor Folding Status : XXXX --> Printed if Idle power save status is supported Platform reported frequencies --> Frequencies reported from the platform's H_CALL i.e PAPR interface min : NNNN GHz max : NNNN GHz static : NNNN GHz Tool Computed frequencies min : NNNN GHz (cpu XX) max : NNNN GHz (cpu XX) avg : NNNN GHz Pratik R.
