__cppc_scale_freq_tick(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the __cppc_scale_freq_tick(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — this one is literally the CPPC arch_freq_scale updater for frequency invariance ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void __cppc_scale_freq_tick (struct cppc_freq_invariance *cppc_fi );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• cppc_fi — per-cpu CPPC FIE data. that’s the whole vibe 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the CPPC driver registers itself with the topology core so it can provide its own implementation — cppc_scale_freq_tick — of topology_scale_freq_tick, which gets called by the scheduler on every tick. iconic behavior, no cap 👑

heads up bestie: the arch specific counters have higher priority than CPPC counters, if available, though the CPPC driver doesn’t need to have any special handling for that. the way that’s just not its problem 💅
