Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Documentation: intel_pstate: PID tuning is not always available
Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2016 13:37:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1476995826-15536-3-git-send-email-srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1476995826-15536-1-git-send-email-srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com>

PID tuning is not available when the get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load()
is used to calculate target_state. So update the documentation.

 Tuning Intel P-State driver
 
-When HWP mode is not used, debugfs files have also been added to allow the
-tuning of the internal governor algorithm. These files are located at
-/sys/kernel/debug/pstate_snb/. The algorithm uses a PID (Proportional
-Integral Derivative) controller. The PID tunable parameters are:
+When the performance can be tuned using PID (Proportional Integral
+Derivative) controller, debugfs files are provided for adjusting performance.
+They are presented under:
+/sys/kernel/debug/pstate_snb/
 
+The PID tunable parameters are:
       deadband
       d_gain_pct
