| config CPU_FREQ |
| bool "CPU Frequency scaling" |
| help |
| 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. |
| |
| To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the |
| module will be called cpufreq. |
| |
| For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq>. |
| |
| If in doubt, say N. |

| 'ondemand' - This driver adds a dynamic cpufreq policy governor. |
| The governor does a periodic polling and |
| changes frequency based on the CPU utilization. |
| The support for this governor depends on CPU capability to |
| do fast frequency switching (i.e, very low latency frequency |
| transitions). |

| tristate "'conservative' cpufreq governor" |
| depends on CPU_FREQ |
| help |
| '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. |

| module will be called cpufreq_conservative. |
