Re: [PATCH] ACPI, CPU_IDLE: Add more information about C-states

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm confused by state0 -- why are usage and time non-zero --
is this due to some residency there during initialization?

I don't know if I like the looks of 2^32 - 1 as the power number...

-Len

[root@t61 cpuidle]# cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/power

of course this isnt' new with this patch -- 2.6.25-rc1 looks as below:

[root@t61 cpuidle]# cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/power

and 2.6.24 showed no C0, as expected.
