Since commit 2aacdff
entitled "cpufreq: Move common part from governors
to separate file", whenever the drivers that depend on this new file
(cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative) are built as modules, a new
module named cpufreq_governor is created because the Makefile includes
cpufreq_governor.o twice. As drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_governor.c contains no
MODULE directives, the resulting module has no license specified, which
results in logging of a "module license 'unspecified' taints kernel". In
addition, a number of globals are exported GPL only, and are therefore
not available. This fix establishes a new boolean configuration variable
that forces cpufreq_governor.o to be linked into the kernel whenever
either cpufreq_ondemand or cpufreq_conservative is selected.

CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of
|
|
CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because
|
|
the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
|
|
|
|
Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU
|
|
clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor
|
|
(see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool.
|
|

For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq>.

'ondemand' - This driver adds a dynamic cpufreq policy governor.

The governor does a periodic polling and

changes frequency based on the CPU utilization.

transitions).

'conservative' - this driver is rather similar to the 'ondemand'
|
|
governor both in its source code and its purpose, the difference is
|
|
its optimisation for better suitability in a battery powered
|
|
environment. The frequency is gracefully increased and decreased
|
|
rather than jumping to 100% when speed is required.
|
|
|
|
If you have a desktop machine then you should really be considering
|
|
the 'ondemand' governor instead, however if you are using a laptop,
|
|
PDA or even an AMD64 based computer (due to the unacceptable
|
|
step-by-step latency issues between the minimum and maximum frequency
|
|
transitions in the CPU) you will probably want to use this governor.
