Linus, lkml,
The following patch adds the cpufreq core code to 2.5.31. The
cpufreq core offers a common interface to the CPU clock speed
features of both ARM and x86 CPUs.
For communication with user space, sysctl entries are placed in
/proc/sys/cpu/{0,1,...,NR_CPUS-1}/ . Entries provided are:
speed-min (readonly)
speed-max (readonly)
speed-sync (readonly - all CPUs need the same frequency,
changes affect all CPUs)
speed (read/write)
In order for this code to be built, an architecture must define the
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ configuration symbol. The merged ARM code already
has the necessary configuration in place; the x86 part will be sent
later with the x86 specific patch.
Specifically on ARM CPUs, the core is especially important, since
various ARM system on a chip implementations derive peripheral clocks
from the CPU clock (eg, LCD controllers, SDRAM controllers, etc).
The core allows these peripherals to take action either prior and/or
after the actual CPU clock adjustment so we don't go out of tolerance.
Comments welcome; however please ensure that the cpufreq development
list at cpufreq@http://www.linux.org.uk receives a copy of all comments.
Dominik

+ Clock scaling allows you to change the clock speed of the CPUs on the
+ fly. This is a nice method to save battery power, because the lower
+ the clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
+
+
+
+Contents:
+---------
+1. Supported architectures
+2. User interface
+2.1 Sample script for command line interface
+3. CPUFreq core and interfaces
+3.1 General information
+3.2 CPUFreq notifiers
+3.3 CPUFreq architecture drivers
+4. Mailing list and Links
+
+
+
+1. Supported architectures
+==========================
+
+Some architectures detect the lowest and highest possible speed
+settings, while others rely on user information on this. For the
+latter, a boot parameter is required. For the former, you can specify
+a boot parameter to set limits on the speed settings which may occur.
+The boot parameter has the following syntax:
+
+ cpufreq=minspeed-maxspeed
+
+with both minspeed and maxspeed given in kHz. To set the lower
+limit to 59 MHz and the upper limit to 221 MHz, specify:
+
+ cpufreq=59000-221000
+
+Check the "Speed Limits Detection" information below on whether
+the driver detects the lowest and highest allowed speed setting
+automatically.
+
+
+ARM Integrator:
+ SA 1100, SA1110
+--------------------------------
+ Speed Limits Detection: On Integrators, the minimum speed is set
+ and the maximum speed has to be specified using the boot
+ parameter. On SA11x0s, the frequencies are fixed (59 - 287 MHz)
+
+
+AMD Elan:
+ SC400, SC410
+--------------------------------
+ Speed Limits Detection: Not implemented. You need to specify the
+ minimum and maximum frequency in the boot parameter (see above).
+
+
+
+2. User Interface
+=================
+
+CPUFreq uses a "sysctl" interface which is located in
+ /proc/sys/cpu/0/
+ /proc/sys/cpu/1/ ... (SMP only)
+
+In these directories, you will find four files of importance for
+CPUFreq: speed-max, speed-min, speed-sync and speed:
+
+speed shows the current CPU frequency in kHz,
+speed-min the minimum supported CPU frequency, and
+speed-max the maximum supported CPU frequency.
+speed-sync is one if all CPUs need to run on the same clock
+ frequency, else zero.
+
+Please note that you might have to specify the speed limits as a boot
+parameter depending on the architecture (see above).
+
+
+To change the CPU frequency, "echo" the desired CPU frequency (in kHz)
+to speed. For example, to set the CPU speed to the lowest/highest
+allowed frequency do:
+
+root@notebook:# cat /proc/sys/cpu/0/speed-min > /proc/sys/cpu/0/speed
+root@notebook:# cat /proc/sys/cpu/0/speed-max > /proc/sys/cpu/0/speed
+
+
+2.1 Sample script for command line interface
+**********************************************
+
+
+Michael Ossmann <[email protected]> has written a small command line
+interface for the infinitely lazy.
+
+#!/bin/bash
+#
+# /usr/local/bin/freq
+# simple command line interface to cpufreq
+
+[ -n "$1" ] && case "$1" in
+ "min" )
+ # set frequency to minimum
+ cat /proc/sys/cpu/0/speed-min >/proc/sys/cpu/0/speed
+ ;;
+ "max" )
+ # set frequency to maximum
+ cat /proc/sys/cpu/0/speed-max >/proc/sys/cpu/0/speed
+ ;;
+ * )
+ echo "Usage: $0 [min|max]"
+ echo " min: set frequency to minimum and display new frequency"
+ echo " max: set frequency to maximum and display new frequency"
+ echo " no options: display current frequency"
+ exit 1
+ ;;
+esac
+
+# display current frequency
+cat /proc/sys/cpu/0/speed
+exit 0
+
+
+
+3. CPUFreq core and interfaces
+===============================
+
+3.1 General information
+*************************
+
+The CPUFreq core code is located in linux/kernel/cpufreq.c. This
+cpufreq code offers a standardized interface for the CPUFreq
+architecture drivers (those pieces of code that do the actual
+frequency transition), as well as to "notifiers". These are device
+drivers or other part of the kernel that need to be informed of
+frequency changes (like timing code) or even need to force certain
+speed limits (like LCD drivers on ARM architecture). Additionally, the
+kernel "constant" loops_per_jiffy is updated on frequency changes
+here.
+
+
+3.2 CPUFreq notifiers
+***********************
+
+CPUFreq notifiers conform to the standard kernel notifier interface.
+See linux/include/linux/notifier.h for details on notifiers.
+
+The second argument to a CPUFreq notifier is the phase of the
+transition.
+
+The third argument, a void *pointer, points to a struct cpufreq_freqs
+consisting of five values: cpu, min, max, cur and new. min and max
+are the minimum and maximum frequency rates that the device can
+tolerate. cur is the current/old speed. new is the new speed, but
+might only be valid during the CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE or
+CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE phases. And cpu is either the number of the
+affected CPU or CPUFREQ_ALL_CPUS when all CPUs are affected.
+
+Each CPUFreq notifier is called three times for a speed transition :
+
+ 1. In preparation for a speed transition the kernel calls the
+ notifier with a phase of CPUFREQ_MINMAX in order to determine a
+ valid new frequency. At this point the notifier updates the min
+ and max values to the limits the protected device / kernel code
+ needs. Please note: Never update these values directly, use
+ cpufreq_updateminmax() instead.
+
+ 2. Right before the transition the notifier is called with a phase
+ of CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE.
+
+ 3. Right after the transition the notifier is called with a phase
+ of CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE.
+
+For the CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE and CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE phases the notifier
+updates all internal (e.g. device driver) states which depend on the
+CPU frequency.
+
+
+3.3 CPUFreq architecture drivers
+**********************************
+
+CPUFreq architecture drivers are the pieces of kernel code that
+actually perform CPU frequency transitions. These need to be
+initialized separately (separate initcalls), and may be
+modularized. They interact with the CPUFreq core in the following way:
+
+
+cpufreq_register()
+------------------
+cpufreq_register registers an arch driver to the CPUFreq core. Please
+note that only one arch driver may be registered at any time. -EBUSY
+is returned when an arch driver is already registered. The argument to
+cpufreq_register, struct cpufreq_driver *driver, is described later.
+
+
+cpufreq_unregister()
+--------------------
+cpufreq_unregister unregisters an arch driver, e.g. on module
+unloading. Please note that there is no check done that this is called
+from the driver which actually registered itself to the core, so
+please only call this function when you are sure the arch driver got
+registered correctly before.
+
+
+struct cpufreq_driver
+----------------
+On initialization, the arch driver is supposed to pass a pointer
+to a struct cpufreq_driver *cpufreq_driver consistng of the following
+entries:
+
+cpufreq_verify_t validate: This is a pointer to a function with the
+following definition:
+ unsigned int validating_function (unsigned int cpu,
+ unsigned int kHz).
+It is called right before a transition occurs. The proposed new
+speed setting is passed as an argument in kHz; the validating code
+should verify this is a valid speed setting which is currently
+supported by the CPU. It shall return the closest valid CPU frequency
+in kHz.
+
+cpufreq_setspeed_t setspeed: This is a pointer to a function with the
+following definition:
+ void setspeed_function (unsigned int cpu, unsigned int kHz).
+This function shall perform the transition to the new CPU frequency
+given as argument in kHz. Note that this argument is exactly the same
+as the one returned by cpufreq_verify_t validate.
+
+unsigned int snyc: one if all CPUs need to run on the same core frequency
+all the time, or zero if asynchronous frequencies are possible.
+
+struct cpufreq_freqs *freq: if (sync==1) this must point to one struct
+cpufreq_freqs, if (sync==0) it must point to an array of NR_CPUS struct
+cpufreq_freqs. Each struct cpufreq_freq consists of the following entries:
+
+unsigned int freq->cur: The current CPU core frequency. Note that this
+is a requirement while the next two entries are optional.
+
+unsigned int freq.min (optional): The minimum CPU core frequency this
+CPU supports. This value may be limited further by the
+cpufreq_verify_t validate function, and so this value should be the
+minimum core frequency allowed "theoretically" on this system in this
+configuration.
+
+
+unsigned int freq.max (optional): The maximum CPU core frequency this
+CPU supports. This value may be limited further by the
+cpufreq_verify_t validate function, and so this value should be the
+maximum core frequency allowed "theoretically" on this system in this
+configuration.
+
+
+Some Requirements to CPUFreq architecture drivers
+-------------------------------------------------
+* Only call cpufreq_register() when the ability to switch CPU
+ frequencies is _verified_ or can't be missing
+* cpufreq_unregister() may only be called if cpufreq_register() has
+ been successfully(!) called before.
+* kfree() the struct cpufreq_driver only after the call to
+ cpufreq_unregister(), except cpufreq_register() failed.
+* Be aware that there is currently no error management in the
+ setspeed() code in the CPUFreq core. So only call yourself a
+ cpufreq_driver if you are really a working cpufreq_driver!
+
+
