get_dynamic_power(9)

🌸 get_dynamic_power(9) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's all about get_dynamic_power — the little function that does the math on how much power your CPUs are actually burning right now, no cap. it's a kernel-level read, iykyk ✨

✨ NAME ✨

get_dynamic_power — calculate the dynamic power 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

u32 get_dynamic_power (struct cpufreq_cooling_device *cpufreq_cdev ,
unsigned long freq );

like, that's the whole call. two args, one u32 back, iconic 💖

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cpufreq_cdev — the cpufreq_cooling_device for this cdev. it's literally the cooling device we're doing the vibes check on 👑
• freq — the current frequency, bestie. the speed the CPU is running at right now ⭐

🔥 RETURN 🔥

it returns the dynamic power consumed by the cpus described by cpufreq_cdev 💀 like, one u32, that's it, that's the whole result. slay.

ngl it's literally just a power number for those cpus — nothing sketchy, no hidden side quests 🌈
