From d82f26925599cae83c38d17d07ae982356e81318 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Len Brown Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 16:44:16 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Add the "cpufreq.off=1" cmdline option Add the "cpufreq.off=1" cmdline option. At boot-time, this allows a user to request CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=n behavior from a kernel built with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y. This is analogous to the existing "cpuidle.off=1" option and CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y This capability is valuable when we need to debug end-user issues in the BIOS or in Linux. It is also convenient for enabling comparisons, which may otherwise require a new kernel, or help from BIOS SETUP, which may be buggy or unavailable. Signed-off-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
