- Supporting multiple CPU idle levels in kernel
-
- cpuidle drivers
-
-
-
-
-cpuidle driver hooks into the cpuidle infrastructure and handles the
-architecture/platform dependent part of CPU idle states. Driver
-provides the platform idle state detection capability and also
-has mechanisms in place to support actual entry-exit into CPU idle states.
-
-cpuidle driver initializes the cpuidle_device structure for each CPU device
-and registers with cpuidle using cpuidle_register_device.
-
-If all the idle states are the same, the wrapper function cpuidle_register
-could be used instead.
-
-It can also support the dynamic changes (like battery <-> AC), by using
-cpuidle_pause_and_lock, cpuidle_disable_device and cpuidle_enable_device,
-cpuidle_resume_and_unlock.
-
-Interfaces:
-extern int cpuidle_register(struct cpuidle_driver *drv,
- const struct cpumask *const coupled_cpus);
-extern int cpuidle_unregister(struct cpuidle_driver *drv);
-extern int cpuidle_register_driver(struct cpuidle_driver *drv);
-extern void cpuidle_unregister_driver(struct cpuidle_driver *drv);
-extern int cpuidle_register_device(struct cpuidle_device *dev);
-extern void cpuidle_unregister_device(struct cpuidle_device *dev);
-
-extern void cpuidle_pause_and_lock(void);
-extern void cpuidle_resume_and_unlock(void);
-extern int cpuidle_enable_device(struct cpuidle_device *dev);
-extern void cpuidle_disable_device(struct cpuidle_device *dev);
