Linus Torvalds c1aa905a30 Power management updates for v4.11-rc2
- Three fixes for intel_pstate problems related to the passive
    mode (in which it acts as a regular cpufreq scaling driver), two
    for the handling of global P-state limits and one for the handling
    of the cpu_frequency tracepoint in that mode (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Three fixes for the handling of P-state limits in intel_pstate in
    the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Introduction of a new cpufreq.off=1 kernel command line argument
    that will disable cpufreq entirely if passed to the kernel and
    is simply hooked up to the existing code used by Xen (Len Brown).
 
  - Fix for the schedutil cpufreq governor to prevent it from using
    stale raw frequency values in configurations with mutiple CPUs
    sharing one policy object and a cleanup for it reducing its
    overhead slightly (Viresh Kumar).

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix several issues in the intel_pstate driver and one issue in
  the schedutil cpufreq governor, clean up that governor a bit and hook
  up existing code for disabling cpufreq to a new kernel command line
  option.

  Specifics:

   - Three fixes for intel_pstate problems related to the passive mode
     (in which it acts as a regular cpufreq scaling driver), two for the
     handling of global P-state limits and one for the handling of the
     cpu_frequency tracepoint in that mode (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Three fixes for the handling of P-state limits in intel_pstate in
     the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Introduction of a new cpufreq.off=1 kernel command line argument
     that will disable cpufreq entirely if passed to the kernel and is
     simply hooked up to the existing code used by Xen (Len Brown).

   - Fix for the schedutil cpufreq governor to prevent it from using
     stale raw frequency values in configurations with mutiple CPUs
     sharing one policy object and a cleanup for it reducing its
     overhead slightly (Viresh Kumar)"

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
