+What: /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
+ /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_smt_power_savings
+Date: June 2006
+Contact: Linux kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>
+Description: Discover and adjust the kernel's multi-core scheduler support.
+
+ Possible values are:
+
+ 0 - No power saving load balance (default value)
+ 1 - Fill one thread/core/package first for long running threads
+ 2 - Also bias task wakeups to semi-idle cpu package for power
+ savings
+
+ sched_mc_power_savings is dependent upon SCHED_MC, which is
+ itself architecture dependent.
+
+ sched_smt_power_savings is dependent upon SCHED_SMT, which
+ is itself architecture dependent.
+
+ The two files are independent of each other. It is possible
+ that one file may be present without the other.
+
+ Introduced by git commit 5c45bf27.
