# # CPU Frequency scaling # menu "CPU Frequency scaling" config CPU_FREQ bool "CPU Frequency scaling" help Clock scaling allows you to change the clock speed of CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save battery power on notebooks, because the lower the clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes. For more information, take a look at or at If in doubt, say N. source "drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig" config CPU_FREQ_TABLE tristate "CPU frequency table helpers" depends on CPU_FREQ default y help Many CPUFreq drivers use these helpers, so only say N here if the CPUFreq driver of your choice doesn't need these helpers. If in doubt, say Y. comment "CPUFreq processor drivers" depends on CPU_FREQ config X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ tristate "ACPI Processor P-States driver" depends on CPU_FREQ_TABLE && ACPI_PROCESSOR help This driver adds a CPUFreq driver which utilizes the ACPI Processor Performance States. For details, take a look at . If in doubt, say N. config X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_PROC_INTF bool "/proc/acpi/processor/../performance interface (deprecated)" depends on X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ && PROC_FS help This enables the deprecated /proc/acpi/processor/../performance interface. While it is helpful for debugging, the generic, cross-architecture cpufreq interfaces should be used. If in doubt, say N. config ELAN_CPUFREQ tristate "AMD Elan" depends on CPU_FREQ_TABLE && X86_ELAN ---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". For details, take a look at .

For details, take a look at . If in doubt, say N. config X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO tristate "Intel Enhanced SpeedStep" depends on CPU_FREQ_TABLE help This adds the CPUFreq driver for Enhanced SpeedStep enabled mobile CPUs. This means Intel Pentium M (Centrino) CPUs. For details, take a look at . If in doubt, say N. config X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_TABLE bool depends on X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO default y config X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI bool "Use ACPI tables to decode valid frequency/voltage pairs (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on EXPERIMENTAL depends on ((X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO = "m" && ACPI_PROCESSOR) || (X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO = "y" && ACPI_PROCESSOR = "y")) help Use primarily the information provided in the BIOS ACPI tables to determine valid CPU frequency and voltage pairings. If in doubt, say Y. config X86_SPEEDSTEP_ICH tristate "Intel Speedstep on ICH-M chipsets (ioport interface)" depends on CPU_FREQ_TABLE help This adds the CPUFreq driver for certain mobile Intel Pentium III (Coppermine), all mobile Intel Pentium III-M (Tualatin) and all mobile Intel Pentium 4 P4-M on systems which have an Intel ICH2, ICH3 or ICH4 southbridge. For details, take a look at . If in doubt, say N. config X86_SPEEDSTEP_SMI tristate "Intel SpeedStep on 440BX/ZX/MX chipsets (SMI interface)" depends on CPU_FREQ_TABLE && EXPERIMENTAL help This adds the CPUFreq driver for certain mobile Intel Pentium III (Coppermine), all mobile Intel Pentium III-M (Tualatin) on systems which have an Intel 440BX/ZX/MX southbridge. For details, take a look at . If in doubt, say N. config X86_P4_CLOCKMOD tristate "Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation" depends on CPU_FREQ_TABLE help This adds the CPUFreq driver for Intel Pentium 4 / XEON processors. For details, take a look at . If in doubt, say N. config X86_SPEEDSTEP_LIB tristate depends on (X86_SPEEDSTEP_ICH || X86_SPEEDSTEP_SMI || X86_P4_CLOCKMOD) default (X86_SPEEDSTEP_ICH || X86_SPEEDSTEP_SMI || X86_P4_CLOCKMOD) config X86_SPEEDSTEP_RELAXED_CAP_CHECK bool "Relaxed speedstep capability checks" depends on (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 let's the probing code bypass some of those checks if the parameter "relaxed_check=1" is passed to the module. config X86_LONGRUN tristate "Transmeta LongRun" depends on CPU_FREQ help This adds the CPUFreq driver for Transmeta Crusoe processors which support LongRun. For details, take a look at .
