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.
|
|
|
|
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.
