AW: AW: Re: [Xen-devel] No C-States any longer...

[Carsten Schiers <carsten@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Isn't it rather in xen/arch/x86/acpi/cpu_idle.c? I ask because a xm debug-key 
"c" 
doesn't print anything, but C-States should be recognized and managed by xen 
and 
not by the Dom0 kernel, shouldn't it?

I found a line like this in function set_cx_pminfo by the way:

/* FIXME: C-state dependency is nut supported by far */

But maybe it's the same Intel crew that has done it...

BR,
Carsten.

I'm really not sure how this stuff is supposed to work.

I've CC'd some Intel folks who authored/touched
driver/acpi/processor_xen.c and drivers/xen/acpi_processor.c which I
think is the glue which is supposed to make this stuff work.
