Revision aaf3a5e77566ad186a85d28a0afd26b8dd0afd11 authored by Michał Kępień on 04 March 2016, 13:09:10 UTC, committed by Darren Hart on 23 March 2016, 17:05:51 UTC
Similarly to Dell Vostro V131, Dell Inspiron M5110 also requires an
SMBIOS request to be issued in order for WMI events to be generated and
does not raise an i8042 interrupt when the Dell Instant Launch hotkey is
pressed.  However, the event code for that hotkey on this machine is
0xe029, so add it to the legacy keymap.

		Supporting multiple CPU idle levels in kernel

				cpuidle sysfs

System global cpuidle related information and tunables are under
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle

The current interfaces in this directory has self-explanatory names:
* current_driver
* current_governor_ro

With cpuidle_sysfs_switch boot option (meant for developer testing)
following objects are visible instead.
* current_driver
* available_governors
* current_governor
In this case users can switch the governor at run time by writing
to current_governor.


Per logical CPU specific cpuidle information are under
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle
for each online cpu X

* desc : Small description about the idle state (string)
* disable : Option to disable this idle state (bool) -> see note below
* latency : Latency to exit out of this idle state (in microseconds)
* name : Name of the idle state (string)
* power : Power consumed while in this idle state (in milliwatts)
* time : Total time spent in this idle state (in microseconds)
* usage : Number of times this state was entered (count)

Note:
The behavior and the effect of the disable variable depends on the
implementation of a particular governor. In the ladder governor, for
example, it is not coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state,
then all deeper states are disabled as well, but the disable variable
does not reflect it. Likewise, if one enables a deep state but a lighter
state still is disabled, then this has no effect.
