+
+1. General Information
+======================
+
+The CPUFreq core code is located in drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c. This
+cpufreq code offers a standardized interface for the CPUFreq
+architecture drivers (those pieces of code that do actual
+frequency transitions), as well as to "notifiers". These are device
+drivers or other part of the kernel that need to be informed of
+policy changes (ex. thermal modules like ACPI) or of all
+frequency changes (ex. 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.
+
+Reference counting of the cpufreq policies is done by cpufreq_cpu_get
+and cpufreq_cpu_put, which make sure that the cpufreq driver is
+correctly registered with the core, and will not be unloaded until
+cpufreq_put_cpu is called. That also ensures that the respective cpufreq
+policy doesn't get freed while being used.
+
+2. CPUFreq notifiers
+====================
+
+CPUFreq notifiers conform to the standard kernel notifier interface.
+See linux/include/linux/notifier.h for details on notifiers.
+
+There are two different CPUFreq notifiers - policy notifiers and
+transition notifiers.
+
+
+2.1 CPUFreq policy notifiers
+----------------------------
+
+These are notified when a new policy is created or removed.
+
+The phase is specified in the second argument to the notifier.  The phase is
+CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY when the policy is first created and it is
+CPUFREQ_REMOVE_POLICY when the policy is removed.
+
+The third argument, a ``void *pointer``, points to a struct cpufreq_policy
+consisting of several values, including min, max (the lower and upper
+frequencies (in kHz) of the new policy).
+
+
+2.2 CPUFreq transition notifiers
+--------------------------------
+
+These are notified twice for each online CPU in the policy, when the
+CPUfreq driver switches the CPU core frequency and this change has no
+any external implications.
+
+The second argument specifies the phase - CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE or
+CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE.
+
+The third argument is a struct cpufreq_freqs with the following
+values:
+
+=====	===========================
+cpu	number of the affected CPU
+old	old frequency
+new	new frequency
+flags	flags of the cpufreq driver
+=====	===========================
+
+3. CPUFreq Table Generation with Operating Performance Point (OPP)
+==================================================================
+For details about OPP, see Documentation/power/opp.rst
+
+dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table -
+	This function provides a ready to use conversion routine to translate
+	the OPP layer's internal information about the available frequencies
+	into a format readily providable to cpufreq.
+
+	.. Warning::
+
+	   Do not use this function in interrupt context.
+
+	Example::
+
+	 soc_pm_init()
+	 {
+		/* Do things */
+		r = dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table(dev, &freq_table);
+		if (!r)
+			policy->freq_table = freq_table;
+		/* Do other things */
+	 }
+
+	.. note::
+
+	   This function is available only if CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is enabled in
+	   addition to CONFIG_PM_OPP.

+
+
+1. What To Do?
+==============
+
+So, you just got a brand-new CPU / chipset with datasheets and want to
+add cpufreq support for this CPU / chipset? Great. Here are some hints
+on what is necessary:
+
+
+1.1 Initialization
+------------------
+
+First of all, in an __initcall level 7 (module_init()) or later
+function check whether this kernel runs on the right CPU and the right
+chipset. If so, register a struct cpufreq_driver with the CPUfreq core
+using cpufreq_register_driver()
+
+What shall this struct cpufreq_driver contain?
+
+ .name - The name of this driver.
+
+ .init - A pointer to the per-policy initialization function.
+
+ .verify - A pointer to a "verification" function.
+
+ .setpolicy _or_ .fast_switch _or_ .target _or_ .target_index - See
+ below on the differences.
+
+And optionally
+
+ .flags - Hints for the cpufreq core.
+
+ .driver_data - cpufreq driver specific data.
+
+ .resolve_freq - Returns the most appropriate frequency for a target
+ frequency. Doesn't change the frequency though.
+
+ .get_intermediate and target_intermediate - Used to switch to stable
+ frequency while changing CPU frequency.
+
+ .get - Returns current frequency of the CPU.
+
+ .bios_limit - Returns HW/BIOS max frequency limitations for the CPU.
+
+ .exit - A pointer to a per-policy cleanup function called during
+ CPU_POST_DEAD phase of cpu hotplug process.
+
+ .stop_cpu - A pointer to a per-policy stop function called during
+ CPU_DOWN_PREPARE phase of cpu hotplug process.
+
+ .suspend - A pointer to a per-policy suspend function which is called
+ with interrupts disabled and _after_ the governor is stopped for the
+ policy.
+
+ .resume - A pointer to a per-policy resume function which is called
+ with interrupts disabled and _before_ the governor is started again.
+
+ .ready - A pointer to a per-policy ready function which is called after
+ the policy is fully initialized.
+
+ .attr - A pointer to a NULL-terminated list of "struct freq_attr" which
+ allow to export values to sysfs.
+
+ .boost_enabled - If set, boost frequencies are enabled.
+
+ .set_boost - A pointer to a per-policy function to enable/disable boost
+ frequencies.
+
+
+1.2 Per-CPU Initialization
+--------------------------
+
+Whenever a new CPU is registered with the device model, or after the
+cpufreq driver registers itself, the per-policy initialization function
+cpufreq_driver.init is called if no cpufreq policy existed for the CPU.
+Note that the .init() and .exit() routines are called only once for the
+policy and not for each CPU managed by the policy. It takes a ``struct
+cpufreq_policy *policy`` as argument. What to do now?
+
+If necessary, activate the CPUfreq support on your CPU.
+
+Then, the driver must fill in the following values:
+
++-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+|policy->cpuinfo.min_freq _and_	    |					   |
+|policy->cpuinfo.max_freq	    | the minimum and maximum frequency	   |
+|				    | (in kHz) which is supported by	   |
+|				    | this CPU				   |
++-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+|policy->cpuinfo.transition_latency | the time it takes on this CPU to	   |
+|				    | switch between two frequencies in	   |
+|				    | nanoseconds (if appropriate, else	   |
+|				    | specify CPUFREQ_ETERNAL)		   |
++-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+|policy->cur			    | The current operating frequency of   |
+|				    | this CPU (if appropriate)		   |
++-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+|policy->min,			    |					   |
+|policy->max,			    |					   |
+|policy->policy and, if necessary,  |					   |
+|policy->governor		    | must contain the "default policy" for|
+|				    | this CPU. A few moments later,       |
+|				    | cpufreq_driver.verify and either     |
+|				    | cpufreq_driver.setpolicy or          |
+|				    | cpufreq_driver.target/target_index is|
+|				    | called with these values.		   |
++-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+|policy->cpus			    | Update this with the masks of the	   |
+|				    | (online + offline) CPUs that do DVFS |
+|				    | along with this CPU (i.e.  that share|
+|				    | clock/voltage rails with it).	   |
++-----------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+
+For setting some of these values (cpuinfo.min[max]_freq, policy->min[max]), the
+frequency table helpers might be helpful. See the section 2 for more information
+on them.
+
+
+1.3 verify
+----------
+
+When the user decides a new policy (consisting of
+"policy,governor,min,max") shall be set, this policy must be validated
+so that incompatible values can be corrected. For verifying these
+values cpufreq_verify_within_limits(``struct cpufreq_policy *policy``,
+``unsigned int min_freq``, ``unsigned int max_freq``) function might be helpful.
+See section 2 for details on frequency table helpers.
+
+You need to make sure that at least one valid frequency (or operating
+range) is within policy->min and policy->max. If necessary, increase
+policy->max first, and only if this is no solution, decrease policy->min.
+
+
+1.4 target or target_index or setpolicy or fast_switch?
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Most cpufreq drivers or even most cpu frequency scaling algorithms
+only allow the CPU frequency to be set to predefined fixed values. For
+these, you use the ->target(), ->target_index() or ->fast_switch()
+callbacks.
+
+Some cpufreq capable processors switch the frequency between certain
+limits on their own. These shall use the ->setpolicy() callback.
+
+
+1.5. target/target_index
+------------------------
+
+The target_index call has two arguments: ``struct cpufreq_policy *policy``,
+and ``unsigned int`` index (into the exposed frequency table).
+
+The CPUfreq driver must set the new frequency when called here. The
+actual frequency must be determined by freq_table[index].frequency.
+
+It should always restore to earlier frequency (i.e. policy->restore_freq) in
+case of errors, even if we switched to intermediate frequency earlier.
+
+Deprecated
+----------
+The target call has three arguments: ``struct cpufreq_policy *policy``,
+unsigned int target_frequency, unsigned int relation.
+
+The CPUfreq driver must set the new frequency when called here. The
+actual frequency must be determined using the following rules:
+
+- keep close to "target_freq"
+- policy->min <= new_freq <= policy->max (THIS MUST BE VALID!!!)
+- if relation==CPUFREQ_REL_L, try to select a new_freq higher than or equal
+  target_freq. ("L for lowest, but no lower than")
+- if relation==CPUFREQ_REL_H, try to select a new_freq lower than or equal
+  target_freq. ("H for highest, but no higher than")
+
+Here again the frequency table helper might assist you - see section 2
+for details.
+
+1.6. fast_switch
+----------------
+
+This function is used for frequency switching from scheduler's context.
+Not all drivers are expected to implement it, as sleeping from within
+this callback isn't allowed. This callback must be highly optimized to
+do switching as fast as possible.
+
+This function has two arguments: ``struct cpufreq_policy *policy`` and
+``unsigned int target_frequency``.
+
+
+1.7 setpolicy
+-------------
+
+The setpolicy call only takes a ``struct cpufreq_policy *policy`` as
+argument. You need to set the lower limit of the in-processor or
+in-chipset dynamic frequency switching to policy->min, the upper limit
+to policy->max, and -if supported- select a performance-oriented
+setting when policy->policy is CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE, and a
+powersaving-oriented setting when CPUFREQ_POLICY_POWERSAVE. Also check
+the reference implementation in drivers/cpufreq/longrun.c
+
+1.8 get_intermediate and target_intermediate
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Only for drivers with target_index() and CPUFREQ_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION unset.
+
+get_intermediate should return a stable intermediate frequency platform wants to
+switch to, and target_intermediate() should set CPU to that frequency, before
+jumping to the frequency corresponding to 'index'. Core will take care of
+sending notifications and driver doesn't have to handle them in
+target_intermediate() or target_index().
+
+Drivers can return '0' from get_intermediate() in case they don't wish to switch
+to intermediate frequency for some target frequency. In that case core will
+directly call ->target_index().
+
+NOTE: ->target_index() should restore to policy->restore_freq in case of
+failures as core would send notifications for that.
+
+
+2. Frequency Table Helpers
+==========================
+
+As most cpufreq processors only allow for being set to a few specific
+frequencies, a "frequency table" with some functions might assist in
+some work of the processor driver. Such a "frequency table" consists of
+an array of struct cpufreq_frequency_table entries, with driver specific
+values in "driver_data", the corresponding frequency in "frequency" and
+flags set. At the end of the table, you need to add a
+cpufreq_frequency_table entry with frequency set to CPUFREQ_TABLE_END.
+And if you want to skip one entry in the table, set the frequency to
+CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID. The entries don't need to be in sorted in any
+particular order, but if they are cpufreq core will do DVFS a bit
+quickly for them as search for best match is faster.
+
+The cpufreq table is verified automatically by the core if the policy contains a
+valid pointer in its policy->freq_table field.
+
+cpufreq_frequency_table_verify() assures that at least one valid
+frequency is within policy->min and policy->max, and all other criteria
+are met. This is helpful for the ->verify call.
+
+cpufreq_frequency_table_target() is the corresponding frequency table
+helper for the ->target stage. Just pass the values to this function,
+and this function returns the of the frequency table entry which
+contains the frequency the CPU shall be set to.
+
+The following macros can be used as iterators over cpufreq_frequency_table:
+
+cpufreq_for_each_entry(pos, table) - iterates over all entries of frequency
+table.
+
+cpufreq_for_each_valid_entry(pos, table) - iterates over all entries,
+excluding CPUFREQ_ENTRY_INVALID frequencies.
+Use arguments "pos" - a ``cpufreq_frequency_table *`` as a loop cursor and
+"table" - the ``cpufreq_frequency_table *`` you want to iterate over.
+
+For example::
+
+	struct cpufreq_frequency_table *pos, *driver_freq_table;
+
+	cpufreq_for_each_entry(pos, driver_freq_table) {
+		/* Do something with pos */
+		pos->frequency = ...
+	}
+
+If you need to work with the position of pos within driver_freq_table,
+do not subtract the pointers, as it is quite costly. Instead, use the
+macros cpufreq_for_each_entry_idx() and cpufreq_for_each_valid_entry_idx().

+General Description of sysfs CPUFreq Stats
+==========================================
+
+information for users
+
+
+Author: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com>
+
+.. Contents
+
+   1. Introduction
+   2. Statistics Provided (with example)
+   3. Configuring cpufreq-stats
+
+
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+cpufreq-stats is a driver that provides CPU frequency statistics for each CPU.
+These statistics are provided in /sysfs as a bunch of read_only interfaces. This
+interface (when configured) will appear in a separate directory under cpufreq
+in /sysfs (<sysfs root>/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/stats/) for each CPU.
+Various statistics will form read_only files under this directory.
+
+This driver is designed to be independent of any particular cpufreq_driver
+that may be running on your CPU. So, it will work with any cpufreq_driver.
+
+
+2. Statistics Provided (with example)
+=====================================
+
+cpufreq stats provides following statistics (explained in detail below).
+
+-  time_in_state
+-  total_trans
+-  trans_table
+
+All the statistics will be from the time the stats driver has been inserted
+(or the time the stats were reset) to the time when a read of a particular
+statistic is done. Obviously, stats driver will not have any information
+about the frequency transitions before the stats driver insertion.
+
+::
+
+    <mysystem>:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats # ls -l
+    total 0
+    drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    0 May 14 16:06 .
+    drwxr-xr-x  3 root root    0 May 14 15:58 ..
+    --w-------  1 root root 4096 May 14 16:06 reset
+    -r--r--r--  1 root root 4096 May 14 16:06 time_in_state
+    -r--r--r--  1 root root 4096 May 14 16:06 total_trans
+    -r--r--r--  1 root root 4096 May 14 16:06 trans_table
+
+- **reset**
+
+Write-only attribute that can be used to reset the stat counters. This can be
+useful for evaluating system behaviour under different governors without the
+need for a reboot.
+
+- **time_in_state**
+
+This gives the amount of time spent in each of the frequencies supported by
+this CPU. The cat output will have "<frequency> <time>" pair in each line, which
+will mean this CPU spent <time> usertime units of time at <frequency>. Output
+will have one line for each of the supported frequencies. usertime units here
+is 10mS (similar to other time exported in /proc).
+
+::
+
+    <mysystem>:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats # cat time_in_state
+    3600000 2089
+    3400000 136
+    3200000 34
+    3000000 67
+    2800000 172488
+
+
+- **total_trans**
+
+This gives the total number of frequency transitions on this CPU. The cat
+output will have a single count which is the total number of frequency
+transitions.
+
+::
+
+    <mysystem>:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats # cat total_trans
+    20
+
+- **trans_table**
+
+This will give a fine grained information about all the CPU frequency
+transitions. The cat output here is a two dimensional matrix, where an entry
+<i,j> (row i, column j) represents the count of number of transitions from
+Freq_i to Freq_j. Freq_i rows and Freq_j columns follow the sorting order in
+which the driver has provided the frequency table initially to the cpufreq core
+and so can be sorted (ascending or descending) or unsorted.  The output here
+also contains the actual freq values for each row and column for better
+readability.
+
+If the transition table is bigger than PAGE_SIZE, reading this will
+return an -EFBIG error.
+
+::
+
+    <mysystem>:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats # cat trans_table
+    From  :    To
+	    :   3600000   3400000   3200000   3000000   2800000
+    3600000:         0         5         0         0         0
+    3400000:         4         0         2         0         0
+    3200000:         0         1         0         2         0
+    3000000:         0         0         1         0         3
+    2800000:         0         0         0         2         0
+
+3. Configuring cpufreq-stats
+============================
+
+To configure cpufreq-stats in your kernel::
+
+	Config Main Menu
+		Power management options (ACPI, APM)  --->
+			CPU Frequency scaling  --->
+				[*] CPU Frequency scaling
+				[*]   CPU frequency translation statistics
+
+
+"CPU Frequency scaling" (CONFIG_CPU_FREQ) should be enabled to configure
+cpufreq-stats.
+
+"CPU frequency translation statistics" (CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT) provides the
+statistics which includes time_in_state, total_trans and trans_table.
+
+Once this option is enabled and your CPU supports cpufrequency, you
+will be able to see the CPU frequency statistics in /sysfs.
