Subject: ZEN: intel-pstate: Implement "enable" parameter
|
||||
|
||||
If intel-pstate is compiled into the kernel, it will preempt the loading
|
||||
of acpi-cpufreq so you can take advantage of hardware p-states without
|
||||
any friction.
|
||||
|
||||
However, intel-pstate is not completely superior to cpufreq's ondemand
|
||||
for one reason. There's no concept of an up_threshold property.
|
||||
|
||||
In ondemand, up_threshold essentially reduces the maximum utilization to
|
||||
compare against, allowing you to hit max frequencies and turbo boost
|
||||
from a much lower core utilization.
|
||||
|
||||
With intel-pstate, you have the concept of minimum and maximum
|
||||
performance, but no tunable that lets you define, maximum frequency
|
||||
means 50% core utilization. For just this oversight, there's reasons
|
||||
you may want ondemand.
|
||||
|
||||
Lets support setting "enable" in kernel boot parameters. This lets
|
||||
kernel maintainers include "intel_pstate=disable" statically in the
|
||||
static boot parameters, but let users of the kernel override this
|
||||
selection.
