+Power Capping Framework
+==================================
+
+The Linux Power Capping Framework provides user-space with a common
+API to kernel-mode power-capping drivers. At the same time,
+it provides the hardware-specific power-capping drivers with
+a uniform API to user-space.
+
+Terminology
+=========================
+The Power Capping framework organizes power capping devices under a tree
structure.
+At the root level, each device is under some "controller", which is the enabler
+of technology. For example this can be "RAPL".
+Under each controllers, there are multiple power zones, which can be
independently
+monitored and controlled using this technology.
+Each power zone can be organized as a tree with parent, children and siblings.
+Each power zone defines attributes to enable power monitoring and apply
+constraints on power consumption.
+
+For example, using RAPL, one can independently control CPU packages. Each
package is
+further divided in to multiple domains for core uncore, dram devices, which can
+be independently controlled. As the technology gets matured, each uncore and
core,
+devices will be further divided into multiple domain. Here domains are called
"zones"
+in this documentation.
+
+
+Experimental implantation is using two options:
+Option 1: Use simple device model. Since we can't have duplicate file names
under
+a class even if there parents are different (Unlike a Linux directory tree),
each
+child will be named using their hierarchy in the tree. For example, a RAPL
power
+zone such as a CPU package can be called intel-rapl-0, then its children will
be
+named as intel-rapl-0:0, intel-rapl-0:1 etc.
+
+Option 2: Each controller is a device and zones and constraints under it are
+created using kobjects. Here exact names of power zones can be used in the
sys-fs
+file names.
+
+The two tree's below presents representation using above options.
+In this system RAPL functionality is implemented in a client driver using
power-capping
+framework described here. The sys-fs tree below is generated on a server
system,
+with two CPU packages. Each package is further divided into "core", and "dram".

+Power Zone Attributes
+=================================
+Monitoring attributes
+----------------------
+
+energy_uj (rw): Current energy counter in micro-joules. Write to energy counter
+resets the counter to zero. If the counter can not be reset, then this
attribute
+is read-only.
+
+max_energy_range_uj (r): Range of the above energy counter in micro-joules.
+
+power_uw (rw): Current power counter in micro-watts. Write to this counter
+resets the counter to zero. If the counter can not be reset, then this
attribute
+is read-only.
+max_power_range_uw (r): Range of the above energy counter in micro-watts.
+
+It is possible that some domains can have both power and energy counters and
+ranges, but at least one is mandatory.
+
+Constraints
+----------------
+power_limit_uw (rw): Power limit in micro-watts, which should be applicable for
+the time window specified by "time_window_us".

+Synopsis:
+
+void * powercap_allocate_controller (const char * controller_name);
+
+Arguments:
+
+controller_name
+ The Name of this controller, which will be shown
+ in the Sys-Fs Interface.
+
+
+Description:
+
+Used to create a controller with the power capping class. Here controller
+can represent a type of technology, which can control a range of power zones.
+For example a controller can be RAPL (Running Average Power Limit)
+Intel® 64 and IA-32 Processor Architectures. The name can be any string
+which must be unique, otherwise this function returns NULL.
+On successful allocation, this API returns a pointer to the
+controller instance.

+instance
+ A pointer to the valid controller instance.
+
+
+Description:
+
+Used to deallocate a controller with the power capping class. This
+takes only one argument, which is the pointer to the instance returned
+by a call to powercap_allocate_controller.
+When a controller is deallocated, all zones and associated constraints
+are freed.

+
+ops
+ Pointer to zone operation callback structure.
+
+parent
+ A pointer to the parent power zone instance if any or NULL
+
+
+Description:
+
+Used to register a power zone for a controller. Zones are organized in
+a tree like structure in Sys-Fs under a controller. A power zone name
+may not be unique, if they are in different level of hierarchy similar to
+a file system directory tree.
+A power zone must a register a pointer to a structure representing zone
+callbacks.
+A power zone can have a some other power zone as a parent or it can be
+NULL to appear as a direct descendant of a controller.

+pcd_dev
+ A pointer to the valid zone instance
+
+ops
+ A pointer to the structure defining constraint callbacks
+
+
+Description:
+
+Used to unregister a register a constraint. Multiple constraints can be
+registered to a zone. Each constraint define some power limits and a time
+window over which this constraint is applicable. Time window and power limit
+should be with in limits specified in the corresponding max/min limits.
+On successful registration, it returns a pointer an instance of a constraint.
