<content type='text'>
As the trace event powernv_throttle is only used by the powernv code, move
it to a separate include file and have that code directly enable it.

Trace events can take up around 5K of memory when they are defined
regardless if they are used or not. It wastes memory to have them defined
in configurations where the tracepoint is not used.

<content type='text'>
Introduce a Rust-based implementation of the cpufreq-dt driver, covering
most of the functionality provided by the existing C version. Some
features, such as retrieving platform data from `cpufreq-dt-platdev.c`,
are still pending.

The driver has been tested with QEMU, and frequency scaling works as
expected.

<content type='text'>
Add simple CPU Freq driver for Airoha EN7581 SoC that control CPU
frequency scaling with SMC APIs and register a generic "cpufreq-dt"
device.

All CPU share the same frequency and can't be controlled independently.
CPU frequency is controlled by the attached PM domain.

Add SoC compatible to cpufreq-dt-plat block list as a dedicated cpufreq
driver is needed with OPP v2 nodes declared in DTS.

This driver is no longer buildable since the PPC_MAPLE platform was
removed, see commit 62f8f307c80e ("powerpc/64: Remove maple platform").

Remove the driver.

Note that the comment in the driver says it supports "SMU &amp; 970FX
based G5 Macs", but that's not true, that comment was copied from
pmac64-cpufreq.c, which still exists and continues to support those
machines.

Introduce a virtualized cpufreq driver for guest kernels to improve
performance and power of workloads within VMs.

This driver does two main things:

1. Sends the frequency of vCPUs as a hint to the host. The host uses the
hint to schedule the vCPU threads and decide physical CPU frequency.

2. If a VM does not support a virtualized FIE(like AMUs), it queries the
host CPU frequency by reading a MMIO region of a virtual cpufreq device
to update the guest's frequency scaling factor periodically. This enables
accurate Per-Entity Load Tracking for tasks running in the guest.

<id>urn:sha1:ccf51454145bffd98e31cdbe54a4262473c609e2</id>
<content type='text'>
Some of LoongArch processors (Loongson-3 series) support DVFS, their
IOCSR.FEATURES has IOCSRF_FREQSCALE set. And they has a micro-core in
the package called SMC (System Management Controller), which can be
used to detect temperature, control fans, scale frequency and voltage,
etc.

The Loongson-3 CPUFreq driver is very simple now, it communicate with
SMC, get DVFS info, set target frequency from CPUFreq core, and so on.

There is a command list to interact with SMC, widely-used commands in
the CPUFreq driver include:

CMD_GET_VERSION: Get SMC firmware version.

CMD_GET_FEATURE: Get enabled SMC features.

CMD_SET_FEATURE: Enable SMC features, such as basic DVFS, BOOST.

CMD_GET_FREQ_LEVEL_NUM: Get the number of all frequency levels.

CMD_GET_FREQ_BOOST_LEVEL: Get the first boost frequency level.

CMD_GET_FREQ_LEVEL_INFO: Get the detail info of a frequency level.

CMD_GET_FREQ_INFO: Get the current frequency.

CMD_SET_FREQ_INFO: Set the target frequency.

In future we will add automatic frequency scaling, which is similar to
Intel's HWP (HardWare P-State).

<title>arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cf8e8658100d4eae80ce9b21f7a81cb024dd5057</id>
<content type='text'>
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.

None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.

While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.

There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.

So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.
