From d9460fd227ed2ce52941b6a12ad4de05c195f6aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Rui Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 15:51:23 +0800 Subject: ACPI: register ACPI Processor as generic thermal cooling device Register ACPI processor as thermal cooling devices. A combination of processor T-state and P-state are used for thermal throttling. the processor will reduce the frequency first and then set the T-state. we use cpufreq_thermal_reduction_pctg to calculate the cpufreq limit, and call cpufreq_verify_with_limit to set the cpufreq limit. if cpufreq driver is loaded, then we have four cooling state for cpufreq control. cooling state 0: cpufreq limit == max_freq cooling state 1: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 80% cooling state 2: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 60% cooling state 3: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 40% after the cpufreq limit is set to 40 percentage of the max_freq, we use T-state for cooling. eg. a processor has P-state support, and it has 8 T-state (T0-T7), the max_state of the proceesor is 10: state cpufreq-limit T-state 0: max_freq T0 1: max_freq * 80% T0 2: max_freq * 60% T0 3: max_freq * 40% T0 4: max_freq * 40% T1 5: max_freq * 40% T2 6: max_freq * 40% T3 7: max_freq * 40% T4 8: max_freq * 40% T5 9: max_freq * 40% T6 10: max_freq * 40% T7 Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui Signed-off-by: Thomas Sujith Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- include/acpi/processor.h | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'include/acpi/processor.h') diff --git a/include/acpi/processor.h b/include/acpi/processor.h index 76411b1fc4f..0787635a11a 100644 --- a/include/acpi/processor.h +++ b/include/acpi/processor.h @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ #include #include #include - +#include #include #define ACPI_PROCESSOR_BUSY_METRIC 10 @@ -218,7 +218,7 @@ struct acpi_processor { struct acpi_processor_performance *performance; struct acpi_processor_throttling throttling; struct acpi_processor_limit limit; - + struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev; /* the _PDC objects for this processor, if any */ struct acpi_object_list *pdc; }; @@ -330,7 +330,7 @@ extern struct cpuidle_driver acpi_idle_driver; /* in processor_thermal.c */ int acpi_processor_get_limit_info(struct acpi_processor *pr); extern struct file_operations acpi_processor_limit_fops; - +extern struct thermal_cooling_device_ops processor_cooling_ops; #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_FREQ void acpi_thermal_cpufreq_init(void); void acpi_thermal_cpufreq_exit(void); -- cgit v1.2.3
