config CPU_FREQ

bool "CPU Frequency scaling"
|
|
help
|
|
CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of
|
|
CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because
|
|
the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
|
|
|
|
Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU
|
|
clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor
|
|
(see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool.
|
|
|
|
For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq>.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say N.

Say Y here to enable CPUfreq subsystem (including drivers)

1 to activate CPUfreq core debugging,

tristate "'ondemand' cpufreq policy governor"
|
|
help
|
|
'ondemand' - This driver adds a dynamic cpufreq policy governor.
|
|
The governor does a periodic polling and
|
|
changes frequency based on the CPU utilization.
|
|
The support for this governor depends on CPU capability to
|
|
do fast frequency switching (i.e, very low latency frequency
|
|
transitions).
|
|
|
|
For details, take a look at linux/Documentation/cpu-freq.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say N.

tristate "'conservative' cpufreq governor"

depends on CPU_FREQ
|
|
help
|
|
'conservative' - this driver is rather similar to the 'ondemand'
|
|
governor both in its source code and its purpose, the difference is
|
|
its optimisation for better suitability in a battery powered
|
|
environment. The frequency is gracefully increased and decreased
|
|
rather than jumping to 100% when speed is required.
|
|
|
|
If you have a desktop machine then you should really be considering
|
|
the 'ondemand' governor instead, however if you are using a laptop,
|
|
PDA or even an AMD64 based computer (due to the unacceptable
|
|
step-by-step latency issues between the minimum and maximum frequency
|
|
transitions in the CPU) you will probably want to use this governor.
|
|
|
|
For details, take a look at linux/Documentation/cpu-freq.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say N.
