From 9ca8dbcc65cfc63d6f5ef3312a33184e1d726e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yunhong Jiang Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 12:17:53 -0700 Subject: Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

It may also tell the hardware +how aggressively it should enter the OS requested C-states. + +This option can be applied to individual cores only via the \-\-cpu option, +cpupower(1). + +Setting the performance bias value on one CPU can modify the setting on +related CPUs as well (for example all CPUs on one socket), because of +hardware restrictions. +Use \fBcpupower -c all info -b\fP to verify. + +This options needs the msr kernel driver (CONFIG_X86_MSR) loaded. +.RE + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +cpupower-info(1), cpupower-monitor(1), powertop(1) +.PP +.SH AUTHORS +.nf +\-\-perf\-bias parts written by Len Brown +Thomas Renninger -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
