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

If in doubt, say N.

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.

config X86_POWERNOW_K8
tristate "AMD Opteron/Athlon64 PowerNow!"
depends on CPU_FREQ_TABLE
help
This adds the CPUFreq driver for mobile AMD Opteron/Athlon64 processors.
For details, take a look at .

depends on ((X86_POWERNOW_K8 = "m" && ACPI_PROCESSOR) || (X86_POWERNOW_K8 = "y" && ACPI_PROCESSOR = "y"))
default y
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
or 64bit enabled Intel Xeons.
For details, take a look at .
If in doubt, say N.

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_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.
