Re: UltraSPARC III/IIe cpufreq drivers, please test



Martin Husemann a écrit :
Ugh, the cpufreq(9) interface is very ugly.

Stupid question: instead of adding a psycho (or shizo) softc to cpuinfo_t,
why don't you just use the proper softc as cf_cookie in struct cpufreq?

I think it could work for UltraSPARC-IIe, but not for UltraSPARC-III as frequency has to be independently set for each couple schizo/cpu. To modify energy_star register (in schizo), I have to access to energy_star register associated to the corresponding CPU.

In another hand, I don't understand why cpufreq interface is registered once for the system and not by CPU. If it was registered by cpu, it will be easier to use cf_cookie.
