On some systems the nominal_perf value retrieved via CPPC is just a constant and fetching it doesn't require accessing any registers, so if it is the only CPPC capability that's needed, it is wasteful to run cppc_get_perf_caps() in order to get just that value alone, especially when this is done for CPUs other than the one running the code. For this reason, introduce cppc_get_nominal_perf() allowing nominal_perf to be obtained individually, by generalizing the existing cppc_get_desired_perf() (and renaming it) so it can be used to retrieve any specific CPPC capability value. While at it, clean up the cppc_get_desired_perf() kerneldoc comment a bit. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
