Linux kernel source tree

On some devices there are HW dependencies for shared frequency and voltage between devices. It will impact Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) decision, where CPUs share the voltage & frequency domain with other CPUs or devices e.g. - Mid CPUs + Big CPU - Little CPU + L3 cache in DSU - some other device + Little CPUs Detailed explanation of one example: When the L3 cache frequency is increased, the affected Little CPUs might run at higher voltage and frequency. That higher voltage causes higher CPU power and thus more energy is used for running the tasks. This is important for background running tasks, which try to run on energy efficient CPUs. Therefore, add performance state limits which are applied for the device (in this case CPU). This is important on SoCs with HW dependencies mentioned above so that the Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) does not use performance states outside the valid min-max range for energy calculation.

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 reStructuredText 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.
