7       depends on X86
8       select ACPI_PROCESSOR if ACPI
9       help
10          This driver provides a P state for Intel core processors.
11	  The driver implements an internal governor and will become
12          the scaling driver and governor for Sandy bridge processors.
13
14	  When this driver is enabled it will become the preferred
15          scaling driver for Sandy bridge processors.
16
17	  If in doubt, say N.

19config X86_PCC_CPUFREQ
20	tristate "Processor Clocking Control interface driver"
21	depends on ACPI && ACPI_PROCESSOR
22	help
23	  This driver adds support for the PCC interface.
24
25	  For details, take a look at:
26	  <file:Documentation/cpu-freq/pcc-cpufreq.txt>.
27
28	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
29	  module will be called pcc-cpufreq.
30
31	  If in doubt, say N.
32
33config X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ
34	tristate "ACPI Processor P-States driver"
35	depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
36	help
37	  This driver adds a CPUFreq driver which utilizes the ACPI
38	  Processor Performance States.
39	  This driver also supports Intel Enhanced Speedstep and newer
40	  AMD CPUs.
41
42	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
43	  module will be called acpi-cpufreq.
44
45	  For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq/>.
46
47	  If in doubt, say N.

49config X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_CPB
50	default y
51	bool "Legacy cpb sysfs knob support for AMD CPUs"
52	depends on X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ && CPU_SUP_AMD
53	help
54	  The powernow-k8 driver used to provide a sysfs knob called "cpb"
55	  to disable the Core Performance Boosting feature of AMD CPUs. This
56	  file has now been superseded by the more generic "boost" entry.
57
58	  By enabling this option the acpi_cpufreq driver provides the old
59	  entry in addition to the new boost ones, for compatibility reasons.
60
61config X86_SFI_CPUFREQ
62	tristate "SFI Performance-States driver"
63	depends on X86_INTEL_MID && SFI
64	help
65	  This adds a CPUFreq driver for some Silvermont based Intel Atom
66	  architectures like Z34xx and Z35xx which enumerate processor
67	  performance states through SFI.
68
69	  If in doubt, say N.

71config ELAN_CPUFREQ
72	tristate "AMD Elan SC400 and SC410"
73	depends on MELAN
74	---help---
75	  This adds the CPUFreq driver for AMD Elan SC400 and SC410
76	  processors.
77
78	  You need to specify the processor maximum speed as boot
79	  parameter: elanfreq=maxspeed (in kHz) or as module
80	  parameter "max_freq".
81
82	  For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq/>.
83
84	  If in doubt, say N.
85
86config SC520_CPUFREQ
87	tristate "AMD Elan SC520"
88	depends on MELAN
89	---help---
90	  This adds the CPUFreq driver for AMD Elan SC520 processor.
91
92	  For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq/>.
93
94	  If in doubt, say N.

97config X86_POWERNOW_K6
98	tristate "AMD Mobile K6-2/K6-3 PowerNow!"
99	depends on X86_32
100	help
101	  This adds the CPUFreq driver for mobile AMD K6-2+ and mobile
102	  AMD K6-3+ processors.
103
104	  For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq/>.
105

108config X86_POWERNOW_K7
109	tristate "AMD Mobile Athlon/Duron PowerNow!"
110	depends on X86_32
111	help
112	  This adds the CPUFreq driver for mobile AMD K7 mobile processors.
113
114	  For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq/>.
115
116	  If in doubt, say N.
117
118config X86_POWERNOW_K7_ACPI
119	bool
120	depends on X86_POWERNOW_K7 && ACPI_PROCESSOR
121	depends on !(X86_POWERNOW_K7 = y && ACPI_PROCESSOR = m)

127	depends on ACPI && ACPI_PROCESSOR && X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ
128	help

137config X86_AMD_FREQ_SENSITIVITY
138	tristate "AMD frequency sensitivity feedback powersave bias"
139	depends on CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND && X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ && CPU_SUP_AMD
140	help
141	  This adds AMD-specific powersave bias function to the ondemand
142	  governor, which allows it to make more power-conscious frequency
143	  change decisions based on feedback from hardware (available on AMD
144	  Family 16h and above).
145
146	  Hardware feedback tells software how "sensitive" to frequency changes
147	  the CPUs' workloads are. CPU-bound workloads will be more sensitive
148	  -- they will perform better as frequency increases. Memory/IO-bound
149	  workloads will be less sensitive -- they will not necessarily perform
150	  better as frequency increases.
151
152	  If in doubt, say N.

167	select X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_TABLE if X86_32
168	depends on X86_32 || (X86_64 && ACPI_PROCESSOR)
169	help
170	  This is deprecated and this functionality is now merged into
171	  acpi_cpufreq (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ). Use that driver instead of
172	  speedstep_centrino.
173	  This adds the CPUFreq driver for Enhanced SpeedStep enabled
174	  mobile CPUs.  This means Intel Pentium M (Centrino) CPUs
175	  or 64bit enabled Intel Xeons.
176
177	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
178	  module will be called speedstep-centrino.
179
180	  For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq/>.
181

197	help
198	  This adds the CPUFreq driver for certain mobile Intel Pentium III
199	  (Coppermine), all mobile Intel Pentium III-M (Tualatin) and all
200	  mobile Intel Pentium 4 P4-M on systems which have an Intel ICH2,
201	  ICH3 or ICH4 southbridge.

218
219config X86_P4_CLOCKMOD
220	tristate "Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation"
221	help
222	  This adds the CPUFreq driver for Intel Pentium 4 / XEON
223	  processors.  When enabled it will lower CPU temperature by skipping
224	  clocks.
225
226	  This driver should be only used in exceptional
227	  circumstances when very low power is needed because it causes severe
228	  slowdowns and noticeable latencies.  Normally Speedstep should be used
229	  instead.
230
231	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
232	  module will be called p4-clockmod.
233
234	  For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq/>.
235
236	  Unless you are absolutely sure say N.

239	tristate "nVidia nForce2 FSB changing"
240	depends on X86_32
241	help
242	  This adds the CPUFreq driver for FSB changing on nVidia nForce2
243	  platforms.

249config X86_LONGRUN
250	tristate "Transmeta LongRun"
251	depends on X86_32

272config X86_E_POWERSAVER
273	tristate "VIA C7 Enhanced PowerSaver (DANGEROUS)"
274	depends on X86_32 && ACPI_PROCESSOR
275	help
276	  This adds the CPUFreq driver for VIA C7 processors.  However, this driver
277	  does not have any safeguards to prevent operating the CPU out of spec
278	  and is thus considered dangerous.  Please use the regular ACPI cpufreq
279	  driver, enabled by CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ.
280
281	  If in doubt, say N.

291	depends on X86_32 && (X86_SPEEDSTEP_SMI || X86_SPEEDSTEP_ICH)
292	help
293	  Don't perform all checks for a speedstep capable system which would
294	  normally be done. Some ancient or strange systems, though speedstep
295	  capable, don't always indicate that they are speedstep capable. This
296	  option lets the probing code bypass some of those checks if the
297	  parameter "relaxed_check=1" is passed to the module.
