This Intel Speed Select Technology - Performance Profile (SST-PP) feature introduces a mechanism that allows multiple optimized performance profiles per system. Each profile defines a set of CPUs that need to be online and rest offline to sustain a guaranteed base frequency. Five new IOCTLs are added: ISST_IF_PERF_LEVELS : Get number of performance levels ISST_IF_PERF_SET_LEVEL : Set to a new performance level ISST_IF_PERF_SET_FEATURE : Activate SST-BF/SST-TF for a performance level ISST_IF_GET_PERF_LEVEL_INFO : Get parameters for a performance level ISST_IF_GET_PERF_LEVEL_CPU_MASK : Get CPU mask for a performance level Once an instance is identified, read or write from correct MMIO offset for a given field as defined in the specification. For details on SST PP operations using intel-speed-selet utility, refer to: Documentation/admin-guide/pm/intel-speed-select.rst under the kernel documentation Signed-off-by: Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Tested-by: Pragya Tanwar <pragya.tanwar@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230308070642.1727167-6-srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
