Description:
d3cold_allowed is bit to control whether the corresponding PCI
device can be put into D3Cold state. If it is cleared, the
device will never be put into D3Cold state. If it is set, the
device may be put into D3Cold state if other requirements are
satisfied too. Reading this attribute will show the current
value of d3cold_allowed bit. Writing this attribute will set
the value of d3cold_allowed bit.

This switch controls the boost setting for the whole system.

Processor boosting control

- information for users -

Quick guide for the impatient:
--------------------
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost
controls the boost setting for the whole system. You can read and write
that file with either "0" (boosting disabled) or "1" (boosting allowed).
Reading or writing 1 does not mean that the system is boosting at this
very moment, but only that the CPU _may_ raise the frequency at it's
discretion.
--------------------

Introduction
-------------
Some CPUs support a functionality to raise the operating frequency of
some cores in a multi-core package if certain conditions apply, mostly
if the whole chip is not fully utilized and below it's intended thermal
budget. This is done without operating system control by a combination
of hardware and firmware.
On Intel CPUs this is called "Turbo Boost", AMD calls it "Turbo-Core",
in technical documentation "Core performance boost". In Linux we use
the term "boost" for convenience.

Rationale for disable switch
----------------------------

Though the idea is to just give better performance without any user
intervention, sometimes the need arises to disable this functionality.
Most systems offer a switch in the (BIOS) firmware to disable the
functionality at all, but a more fine-grained and dynamic control would
be desirable:
1. While running benchmarks, reproducible results are important. Since
the boosting functionality depends on the load of the whole package,
single thread performance can vary. By explicitly disabling the boost
functionality at least for the benchmark's run-time the system will run
at a fixed frequency and results are reproducible again.
2. To examine the impact of the boosting functionality it is helpful
to do tests with and without boosting.
3. Boosting means overclocking the processor, though under controlled
conditions. By raising the frequency and the voltage the processor
will consume more power than without the boosting, which may be
undesirable for instance for mobile users. Disabling boosting may
save power here, though this depends on the workload.


User controlled switch
----------------------

To allow the user to toggle the boosting functionality, the acpi-cpufreq
driver exports a sysfs knob to disable it. There is a file:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost
which can either read "0" (boosting disabled) or "1" (boosting enabled).
Reading the file is always supported, even if the processor does not
support boosting. In this case the file will be read-only and always
reads as "0". Explicitly changing the permissions and writing to that
file anyway will return EINVAL.

On supported CPUs one can write either a "0" or a "1" into this file.
This will either disable the boost functionality on all cores in the
whole system (0) or will allow the hardware to boost at will (1).

Writing a "1" does not explicitly boost the system, but just allows the
CPU (and the firmware) to boost at their discretion. Some implementations
take external factors like the chip's temperature into account, so
boosting once does not necessarily mean that it will occur every time
even using the exact same software setup.


AMD legacy cpb switch
---------------------
The AMD powernow-k8 driver used to support a very similar switch to
disable or enable the "Core Performance Boost" feature of some AMD CPUs.
This switch was instantiated in each CPU's cpufreq directory
(/sys/devices/system/cpu[0-9]*/cpufreq) and was called "cpb".
Though the per CPU existence hints at a more fine grained control, the
actual implementation only supported a system-global switch semantics,
which was simply reflected into each CPU's file. Writing a 0 or 1 into it
would pull the other CPUs to the same state.
For compatibility reasons this file and its behavior is still supported
on AMD CPUs, though it is now protected by a config switch
(X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_CPB). On Intel CPUs this file will never be created,
even with the config option set.
This functionality is considered legacy and will be removed in some future
kernel version.

More fine grained boosting control
----------------------------------

Technically it is possible to switch the boosting functionality at least
on a per package basis, for some CPUs even per core. Currently the driver
does not support it, but this may be implemented in the future.

Generic CPU0 cpufreq driver

It is a generic cpufreq driver for CPU0 frequency management. It
supports both uniprocessor (UP) and symmetric multiprocessor (SMP)
systems which share clock and voltage across all CPUs.

Both required and optional properties listed below must be defined
under node /cpus/cpu@0.

Required properties:
- operating-points: Refer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/opp.txt
for details

Optional properties:
- clock-latency: Specify the possible maximum transition latency for clock,
in unit of nanoseconds.
- voltage-tolerance: Specify the CPU voltage tolerance in percentage.

Examples:

cpus {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;

cpu@0 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <0>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
operating-points = <
/* kHz uV */
792000 1100000
396000 950000
198000 850000
>;
transition-latency = <61036>; /* two CLK32 periods */
};

cpu@1 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <1>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
};

cpu@2 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <2>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
};

cpu@3 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9";
reg = <3>;
next-level-cache = <&L2>;
};
};

* Generic OPP Interface

SoCs have a standard set of tuples consisting of frequency and
voltage pairs that the device will support per voltage domain. These
are called Operating Performance Points or OPPs.

Properties:
- operating-points: An array of 2-tuples items, and each item consists
of frequency and voltage like <freq-kHz vol-uV>.
freq: clock frequency in kHz
vol: voltage in microvolt

Examples:
