Hi Linus,
Please pull from the tag
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
pm-4.11-rc2
with top-most commit 32d3b06a39783fbe849176774037b44f209979ea
Merge branch 'pm-cpufreq-sched'
on top of commit c1ae3cfa0e89fa1a7ecc4c99031f5e9ae99d9201
Linux 4.11-rc1
to receive power management updates for v4.11-rc2.
These fix several issues in the intel_pstate driver and one issue in
the schedutil cpufreq governor, clean up that governor a bit and hook
up existing code for disabling cpufreq to a new kernel command line
option.
Specifics:
- Three fixes for intel_pstate problems related to the passive
mode (in which it acts as a regular cpufreq scaling driver), two
for the handling of global P-state limits and one for the handling
of the cpu_frequency tracepoint in that mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Three fixes for the handling of P-state limits in intel_pstate in
the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Introduction of a new cpufreq.off=1 kernel command line argument
that will disable cpufreq entirely if passed to the kernel and
is simply hooked up to the existing code used by Xen (Len Brown).
- Fix for the schedutil cpufreq governor to prevent it from using
stale raw frequency values in configurations with mutiple CPUs
sharing one policy object and a cleanup for it reducing its
overhead slightly (Viresh Kumar).
Thanks!
