💅 ips_disable_cpu_turbo(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-down of your CPU's turbo era ✨ This is the ips_disable_cpu_turbo page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's a short one, so we're gonna savor it 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

ips_disable_cpu_turbo — disable turbo mode on all the CPUs 👑 no cap, every single one

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ips_disable_cpu_turbo (struct ips_driver *ips );

she's void, she takes one arg, she does not return anything, she simply slays 💅 and yes, that spacing before the closing paren is in the original, we do not touch the sacred text 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ips — the IPS driver struct 🫶 literally the struct ips_driver * you hand her so she knows what's up

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what does she actually do? She disables turbo mode by setting the disable bit in IA32_PERF_CTL on all logical threads 🌈 that's the whole vibe. Every logical thread gets the bit. All of them. Not one, not a few — all 😭

ngl this is the kind of function that's like 4 lines of code but is the main character of the whole driver's thermal drama 🔥

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

the way this list is long, we love an interconnected friend group 🧚 here's everyone she hangs out with:

okay that's the whole page, bestie 🍓 nothing more, nothing less — she's concise and she knows it 💅
