The OSM and EPSS hardware controls the frequency of each cluster in the system based on requests from the OS and various limiting factors, such as input from LMH. In most systems the vote from the OS is done using a single register per cluster, but some systems are configured to instead take one request per core. In this configuration a set of consecutive registers are used for the OS to request the frequency of each of the cores within the cluster. The information is then aggregated in the hardware and the frequency for the cluster is determined. As the current implementation ends up only requesting a frequency for the first core in each cluster and only the vote of non-idle cores are considered it's often the case that the cluster will be clocked (much) lower than expected. It's possible that there are benefits of performing the per-core requests from the OS, but more investigation of the outcome is needed before introducing such support. As such this patch extends the request for the cluster to be written to all the cores. The weight of the policy's related_cpus is used to determine how many cores, and hence consecutive registers, each cluster has. The OS is not permitted to disable the per-core dcvs feature.

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.
