David Rientjes 6a108a14fa kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

config CPU_FREQ
bool "CPU Frequency scaling"
help
CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of
CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because
the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU
clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor
(see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool.
For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq>.
If in doubt, say N.

bool "Enable CPUfreq debugging"
help
Say Y here to enable CPUfreq subsystem (including drivers)
debugging. You will need to activate it via the kernel
command line by passing
cpufreq.debug=<value>
To get <value>, add
1 to activate CPUfreq core debugging,
2 to activate CPUfreq drivers debugging, and
4 to activate CPUfreq governor debugging

This driver exports CPU frequency statistics information through sysfs
file system.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called cpufreq_stats.

help
This option sets which CPUFreq governor shall be loaded at
startup. If in doubt, select 'performance'.
config CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE
bool "performance"
select CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE
help
Use the CPUFreq governor 'performance' as default. This sets
the frequency statically to the highest frequency supported by
the CPU.
config CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_POWERSAVE

select CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE

Use the CPUFreq governor 'powersave' as default. This sets
the frequency statically to the lowest frequency supported by
the CPU.
config CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE
bool "userspace"
select CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE
help
Use the CPUFreq governor 'userspace' as default. This allows
you to set the CPU frequency manually or when a userspace
program shall be able to set the CPU dynamically without having
to enable the userspace governor manually.
config CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_ONDEMAND

help
Use the CPUFreq governor 'ondemand' as default. This allows
you to get a full dynamic frequency capable system by simply
loading your cpufreq low-level hardware driver.
Be aware that not all cpufreq drivers support the ondemand
governor. If unsure have a look at the help section of the
driver. Fallback governor will be the performance governor.

config CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND
tristate "'ondemand' cpufreq policy governor"
select CPU_FREQ_TABLE
help
'ondemand' - This driver adds a dynamic cpufreq policy governor.
The governor does a periodic polling and
changes frequency based on the CPU utilization.
The support for this governor depends on CPU capability to
do fast frequency switching (i.e, very low latency frequency
transitions).
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called cpufreq_ondemand.
For details, take a look at linux/Documentation/cpu-freq.
If in doubt, say N.
config CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE
tristate "'conservative' cpufreq governor"
depends on CPU_FREQ
help
'conservative' - this driver is rather similar to the 'ondemand'
governor both in its source code and its purpose, the difference is
its optimisation for better suitability in a battery powered
environment. The frequency is gracefully increased and decreased
rather than jumping to 100% when speed is required.
If you have a desktop machine then you should really be considering
the 'ondemand' governor instead, however if you are using a laptop,
PDA or even an AMD64 based computer (due to the unacceptable
step-by-step latency issues between the minimum and maximum frequency
transitions in the CPU) you will probably want to use this governor.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called cpufreq_conservative.
For details, take a look at linux/Documentation/cpu-freq.
If in doubt, say N.
