  Power Capping Framework
  ==================================
  
  The power capping framework provides a consistent interface between the kernel
  and the user space that allows power capping drivers to expose the settings to
  user space in a uniform way.
  
  Terminology
  =========================
  The framework exposes power capping devices to user space via sysfs in the
  form of a tree of objects. The objects at the root level of the tree represent
  'control types', which correspond to different methods of power capping.  For
  example, the intel-rapl control type represents the Intel "Running Average
  Power Limit" (RAPL) technology, whereas the 'idle-injection' control type
  corresponds to the use of idle injection for controlling power.
  
  Power zones represent different parts of the system, which can be controlled and
  monitored using the power capping method determined by the control type the
  given zone belongs to. They each contain attributes for monitoring power, as
  well as controls represented in the form of power constraints.  If the parts of
  the system represented by different power zones are hierarchical (that is, one
  bigger part consists of multiple smaller parts that each have their own power
  controls), those power zones may also be organized in a hierarchy with one
  parent power zone containing multiple subzones and so on to reflect the power
  control topology of the system.  In that case, it is possible to apply power
  capping to a set of devices together using the parent power zone and if more
  fine grained control is required, it can be applied through the subzones.
  
  
  Example sysfs interface tree:

  The above example illustrates a case in which the Intel RAPL technology,
  available in Intel® IA-64 and IA-32 Processor Architectures, is used. There is one
  control type called intel-rapl which contains two power zones, intel-rapl:0 and
  intel-rapl:1, representing CPU packages.  Each of these power zones contains
  two subzones, intel-rapl:j:0 and intel-rapl:j:1 (j = 0, 1), representing the
  "core" and the "uncore" parts of the given CPU package, respectively.  All of
  the zones and subzones contain energy monitoring attributes (energy_uj,
  max_energy_range_uj) and constraint attributes (constraint_*) allowing controls
  to be applied (the constraints in the 'package' power zones apply to the whole
  CPU packages and the subzone constraints only apply to the respective parts of
  the given package individually). Since Intel RAPL doesn't provide instantaneous
  power value, there is no power_uw attribute.
  
  In addition to that, each power zone contains a name attribute, allowing the
  part of the system represented by that zone to be identified.
  For example:
  
  cat /sys/class/power_cap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl:0/name
  package-0
  
  The Intel RAPL technology allows two constraints, short term and long term,
  with two different time windows to be applied to each power zone.  Thus for
  each zone there are 2 attributes representing the constraint names, 2 power
  limits and 2 attributes representing the sizes of the time windows. Such that,
  constraint_j_* attributes correspond to the jth constraint (j = 0,1).
  
  For example:
  	constraint_0_name
  	constraint_0_power_limit_uw
  	constraint_0_time_window_us
  	constraint_1_name
  	constraint_1_power_limit_uw
  	constraint_1_time_window_us
  
  Power Zone Attributes
  =================================
  Monitoring attributes
  ----------------------
  
  energy_uj (rw): Current energy counter in micro joules. Write "0" to reset.
  If the counter can not be reset, then this attribute is read only.
  
  max_energy_range_uj (ro): Range of the above energy counter in micro-joules.
  
  power_uw (ro): Current power in micro watts.
  
  max_power_range_uw (ro): Range of the above power value in micro-watts.
  
  name (ro): Name of this power zone.
  
  It is possible that some domains have both power ranges and energy counter ranges;
  however, only one is mandatory.
  
  Constraints
  ----------------
  constraint_X_power_limit_uw (rw): Power limit in micro watts, which should be
  applicable for the time window specified by "constraint_X_time_window_us".
  
  constraint_X_time_window_us (rw): Time window in micro seconds.
  
  constraint_X_name (ro): An optional name of the constraint
  
  constraint_X_max_power_uw(ro): Maximum allowed power in micro watts.
  
  constraint_X_min_power_uw(ro): Minimum allowed power in micro watts.
  
  constraint_X_max_time_window_us(ro): Maximum allowed time window in micro seconds.
  
  constraint_X_min_time_window_us(ro): Minimum allowed time window in micro seconds.
  
  Except power_limit_uw and time_window_us other fields are optional.
  
  Common zone and control type attributes
  ----------------------------------------
  enabled (rw): Enable/Disable controls at zone level or for all zones using
  a control type.
  
  Power Cap Client Driver Interface
  ==================================
  The API summary:
  
  Call powercap_register_control_type() to register control type object.
  Call powercap_register_zone() to register a power zone (under a given
  control type), either as a top-level power zone or as a subzone of another
  power zone registered earlier.
  The number of constraints in a power zone and the corresponding callbacks have
  to be defined prior to calling powercap_register_zone() to register that zone.
  
  To Free a power zone call powercap_unregister_zone().
  To free a control type object call powercap_unregister_control_type().
  Detailed API can be generated using kernel-doc on include/linux/powercap.h.
