[PATCH 1/2] tools cpupower: Add cpupower-idle-set(1) manpage

[Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de>]

cpupower idle-set subcommand was introduce recently.
This patch provides the missing manpage.

If cpupower is properly installed it will show up automatically (similar to
git), when invoking:
cpupower help idle-set
or
cpupower idle-set --help

Some parts have been taken over and adjusted from
git commit 62d6ae880e3e76098
documentation submitted by Carsten Emde.

+cpupower idle\-set \- Utility to set cpu idle state specific kernel options

+cpupower [ \-c cpulist ] idle\-info [\fIoptions\fP]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.LP
+The cpupower idle\-set subcommand allows to set cpu idle, also called cpu
+sleep state, specific options offered by the kernel. One example is disabling
+sleep states. This can be handy for power vs performance tuning.
+.SH "OPTIONS"

+\fB\-d\fR \fB\-\-disable\fR
+Disable a specific processor sleep state.

+\fB\-e\fR \fB\-\-enable\fR
+Enable a specific processor sleep state.

+.LP
+Cpuidle Governors Policy on Disabling Sleep States
+
+.RS 4
+Depending on the used  cpuidle governor, implementing the kernel policy
+how to choose sleep states, subsequent sleep states on this core, might get
+disabled as well.
+
+There are two cpuidle governors ladder and menu. While the ladder
+governor is always available, if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is selected, the
+menu governor additionally requires CONFIG_NO_HZ.
+
+The behavior and the effect of the disable variable depends on the
+implementation of a particular governor. In the ladder governor, for
+example, it is not coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state,
+then all deeper states are disabled as well. Likewise, if one enables a
+deep state but a lighter state still is disabled, then this has no effect.
+.RE
+.LP
+Disabling the Lightest Sleep State may not have any Affect
+
+.RS 4
+If criteria are not met to enter deeper sleep states and the lightest sleep
+state is chosen when idle, the kernel may still enter this sleep state,
+irrespective of whether it is disabled or not. This is also reflected in
+the usage count of the disabled sleep state when using the cpupower idle-info
+command.
+.RE
+.LP
+Selecting specific CPU Cores
+
+.RS 4
+By default processor sleep states of all CPU cores are set. Please refer
+to the cpupower(1) manpage in the \-\-cpu option section how to disable
+C-states of specific cores.
