Why This File Exists
Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.

menu "CPU Frequency scaling"
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/admin-guide/pm/cpufreq.rst>.
If in doubt, say N.

help
This option sets which CPUFreq governor shall be loaded at
startup. If in doubt, use the default setting.
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
bool "powersave"
select CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE
help
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.

- Atlas domain: Driver Families / drivers/cpufreq.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
