help
This driver adds a CPUFreq driver which utilizes the ACPI
Processor Performance States.
This driver also supports Intel Enhanced Speedstep and newer
AMD CPUs.

bool "Legacy cpb sysfs knob support for AMD CPUs"
depends on X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ && CPU_SUP_AMD
help
The powernow-k8 driver used to provide a sysfs knob called "cpb"
to disable the Core Performance Boosting feature of AMD CPUs. This
file has now been superseded by the more generic "boost" entry.
By enabling this option the acpi_cpufreq driver provides the old
entry in addition to the new boost ones, for compatibility reasons.
config X86_SFI_CPUFREQ
tristate "SFI Performance-States driver"

This adds a CPUFreq driver for some Silvermont based Intel Atom
architectures like Z34xx and Z35xx which enumerate processor
performance states through SFI.
If in doubt, say N.

tristate "AMD Elan SC400 and SC410"
depends on MELAN
---help---
This adds the CPUFreq driver for AMD Elan SC400 and SC410
processors.
You need to specify the processor maximum speed as boot
parameter: elanfreq=maxspeed (in kHz) or as module
parameter "max_freq".

This adds the CPUFreq driver for K8/early Opteron/Athlon64 processors.
Support for K10 and newer processors is now in acpi-cpufreq.

config X86_AMD_FREQ_SENSITIVITY
tristate "AMD frequency sensitivity feedback powersave bias"
depends on CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND && X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ && CPU_SUP_AMD
help
This adds AMD-specific powersave bias function to the ondemand
governor, which allows it to make more power-conscious frequency
change decisions based on feedback from hardware (available on AMD
Family 16h and above).
Hardware feedback tells software how "sensitive" to frequency changes
the CPUs' workloads are. CPU-bound workloads will be more sensitive
-- they will perform better as frequency increases. Memory/IO-bound
workloads will be less sensitive -- they will not necessarily perform
better as frequency increases.

select X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_TABLE if X86_32
depends on X86_32 || (X86_64 && ACPI_PROCESSOR)
help
This is deprecated and this functionality is now merged into
acpi_cpufreq (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ). Use that driver instead of
speedstep_centrino.
This adds the CPUFreq driver for Enhanced SpeedStep enabled
mobile CPUs. This means Intel Pentium M (Centrino) CPUs

config X86_P4_CLOCKMOD
tristate "Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation"
help
This adds the CPUFreq driver for Intel Pentium 4 / XEON
processors. When enabled it will lower CPU temperature by skipping
clocks.
This driver should be only used in exceptional
circumstances when very low power is needed because it causes severe
slowdowns and noticeable latencies. Normally Speedstep should be used
instead.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called p4-clockmod.

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

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