Add a new netlink event to notify change in CPU capabilities in terms of performance and efficiency. Firmware may change CPU capabilities as a result of thermal events in the system or to account for changes in the TDP (thermal design power) level. This notification type will allow user space to avoid running workloads on certain CPUs or proactively adjust power limits to avoid future events. The netlink message consists of a nested attribute (THERMAL_GENL_ATTR_CPU_CAPABILITY) with three attributes: * THERMAL_GENL_ATTR_CPU_CAPABILITY_ID (type u32): -- logical CPU number * THERMAL_GENL_ATTR_CPU_CAPABILITY_PERFORMANCE (type u32): -- Scaled performance from 0-1023 * THERMAL_GENL_ATTR_CPU_CAPABILITY_EFFICIENCY (type u32): -- Scaled efficiency from 0-1023 Reviewed-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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.
