Subject: [GIT PULL] power utilities update
Date: Thu, 11 May 2017 22:00:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170512020023.23204-1-lenb@kernel.org> (raw)

Hi Rafael,

Please pull these power utilities patches.

The x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility grows the ability
to manage HWP.EPP (and Hardware P-states, in-general),
on top of its previous ability to manage EPB.

Linux-4.11 grew the ability to disable the cpufreq sub-system entirely
with "cpufreq.off=1". On such a system, this utility
is a convenient way to enable HWP with no kernel cpufreq overhead:

sudo x86_energy_perf_policy --cpu all normal

During this effort, we noticed the EPP defaults hard-coded
into the intel_state driver were not optimal, so those are updated too.

thanks!
Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
