[Patch 2/2] ACPI: processor: Add support to configure CPUFREQ reduction pctg

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

 



From: Srikar Srimath Tirumala <srikars@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add support to configure the CPUFREQ reduction percentage and set the
maximum number of throttling steps accordingly. Current implementation
of processor_thermal performs software throttling in fixed steps of
"20%" which can be too coarse for some platforms. Change that by adding
new config to provide the reduction percentage.
