From: Venkatesh Pallipadi Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2010 03:22:28 +0000 (-0400) Subject: x86: Look for IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS support X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36-rc1~507^2~17 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=23016bf0d25d62c45d8b8f61d55b290d704f7a79;p=pandora-kernel.git x86: Look for IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS support The new IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS MSR allows system software to give hardware a hint whether OS policy favors more power saving, or more performance. This allows the OS to have some influence on internal hardware power/performance tradeoffs where the OS has previously had no influence. The support for this feature is indicated by CPUID.06H.ECX.bit3, as documented in the Intel Architectures Software Developer's Manual. This patch discovers support of this feature and displays it as "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo. Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: H.
