Hi all,
I'm writing a kernel module that needs to get info about the available
frequencies on the current processor and to periodically change the current
frequency.
At user level it can be done through
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed
but I have no idea how to implement it at kernel level.
I tried to declare
extern struct cpufreq_driver *cpufreq_driver;
extern struct cpufreq_policy *cpufreq_cpu_data[NR_CPUS];
extern spinlock_t cpufreq_driver_lock;
extern ssize_t show_available_freqs (struct cpufreq_policy *policy, char
*buf);
and to do
char buffer [100000] = "\n";
spin_lock_irqsave(&cpufreq_driver_lock, flags);
show_available_freqs(cpufreq_cpu_data[0], buffer);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cpufreq_driver_lock, flags);
but it crashes the system.
Please, can somebody tell me how this can be done ?
Many thanks,
Claudio Scordino
