The cpu idle cooling device offers a new method to cool down a CPU by injecting idle cycles at runtime. It has some similarities with the intel power clamp driver but it is actually designed to be more generic and relying on the idle injection powercap framework. The idle injection duration is fixed while the running duration is variable. That allows to have control on the device reactivity for the user experience. An idle state powering down the CPU or the cluster will allow to drop the static leakage, thus restoring the heat capacity of the SoC. It can be set with a trip point between the hot and the critical points, giving the opportunity to prevent a hard reset of the system when the cpufreq cooling fails to cool down the CPU. With more sophisticated boards having a per core sensor, the idle cooling device allows to cool down a single core without throttling the compute capacity of several cpus belonging to the same clock line, so it could be used in collaboration with the cpufreq cooling device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
