The cpufreq core doesn't remove the cpufreq policy anymore on CPU offline operation, rather that happens when the CPU device gets unregistered from the kernel. This allows faster recovery when the CPU comes back online. This is also very useful during system wide suspend/resume where we offline all non-boot CPUs during suspend and then bring them back on resume. This commit takes the same idea a step ahead to allow drivers to do light weight tear-down and bring-up during CPU offline and online operations. A new set of callbacks is introduced, online/offline(). online() gets called when the first CPU of an inactive policy is brought up and offline() gets called when all the CPUs of a policy are offlined. The existing init/exit() callback get called on policy creation/destruction. They also get called instead of online/offline() callbacks if the online/offline() callbacks aren't provided. This also moves around some code to get executed only for the new-policy case going forward. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
