Subject: [PATCH 2/3] cpuidle: Add a debugfs entry to disable specific C state for debug purpose.
Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2012 17:21:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F5DC01D.7040006@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4F5DBFA8.3080300@intel.com>
From: ShuoX Liu <shuox.liu@intel.com>
Some C states of new CPU might be not good. One reason is BIOS might
configure
them incorrectly. To help developers root cause it quickly, the patch adds a
new debugfs entry, so developers could disable specific C state manually.
In addition, C state might have much impact on performance tuning, as it
takes
much time to enter/exit C states, which might delay interrupt
processing. With
the new debug option, developers could check if a deep C state could impact
performance and how much impact it could cause.
Also add this option in Documentation/cpuidle/debugfs.txt.
