From: Zhao Yakui Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:01:09 +0000 (+0800) Subject: ACPI : Create "idle=nomwait" bootparam X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=da5e09a1b3e5a9fc0b15a3feb64e921ccc55ba74;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git ACPI : Create "idle=nomwait" bootparam "idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH) C-states. When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1, and use IO accesses for deeper C-states. This option is useful for power and performance comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs where broken MWAIT support is advertised. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10914 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui Signed-off-by: Li Shaohua Signed-off-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen --- diff --git a/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt b/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt index 65db7f4711aa..5e497d16fb51 100644 --- a/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt +++ b/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt @@ -818,7 +818,7 @@ and is between 256 and 4096 characters.
