Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] cpuidle: sysfs: Display idle state enter function name
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 19:25:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119002545.666251-2-atomlin@atomlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119002545.666251-1-atomlin@atomlin.com>
This patch introduces a read-only "enter_function" attribute to the
cpuidle sysfs interface. It exports the kernel symbolic name of the
enter callback responsible for executing the CPU idle state entry
state->enter(). It allows users to reliably map an abstract C-state
e.g., "C0", to its concrete kernel implementation (e.g., poll_idle).
