+MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
Peter/Len, is it ok to push the driver to 2.6.31? It's driver specific and should not impact others. I updated the driver per your suggestions. V1->V2: 1. Changed the power saving task's priority to 1 2. Add the logic to make power saving task round robin between CPUs to avoid such task runs in specific CPUs. And also try to avoid two power saving tasks running in two HT sibilings. This patch supports the processor aggregator device. When OS gets one ACPI notification, the driver will idle some number of cpus. To make CPU idle, the patch will create power saving thread. Scheduler will migrate the thread to preferred CPU. The thread has max priority and has SCHED_RR policy, so it can occupy one CPU. To save power, the thread will keep calling C-state instruction. Routine power_saving_thread() is entry of the thread. To avoid starvation, the thread will sleep 5% time for every second (current RT scheduler has threshold to avoid starvation, but if other CPUs are idle, the CPU can borrow CPU timer from other, so makes the mechanism not work here) Any comments/suggestions are welcome.
