Subject: [PATCH v2 10/79] docs: cpu-freq: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

+ 1. Introduction
+ 2. Statistics Provided (with example)
+ 3. Configuring cpufreq-stats
+
+
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+cpufreq-stats is a driver that provides CPU frequency statistics for each CPU.
+These statistics are provided in /sysfs as a bunch of read_only interfaces. This
+interface (when configured) will appear in a separate directory under cpufreq
+in /sysfs (<sysfs root>/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/stats/) for each CPU.
+Various statistics will form read_only files under this directory.
+
+This driver is designed to be independent of any particular cpufreq_driver
+that may be running on your CPU. So, it will work with any cpufreq_driver.
+
+
+2. Statistics Provided (with example)
+=====================================
+
+cpufreq stats provides following statistics (explained in detail below).
+- time_in_state
+- total_trans
+- trans_table
+
+All the statistics will be from the time the stats driver has been inserted
+(or the time the stats were reset) to the time when a read of a particular
+statistic is done. Obviously, stats driver will not have any information
+about the frequency transitions before the stats driver insertion.
+

+ Write-only attribute that can be used to reset the stat counters. This can be
+ useful for evaluating system behaviour under different governors without the
+ need for a reboot.
+
+time_in_state
+ This gives the amount of time spent in each of the frequencies supported by
+ this CPU. The cat output will have "<frequency> <time>" pair in each line,
+ which will mean this CPU spent <time> usertime units of time at <frequency>.
+ Output will have one line for each of the supported frequencies. usertime
+ units here is 10mS (similar to other time exported in /proc).

+ 3200000 34
+ 3000000 67
+ 2800000 172488
+
+
+total_trans
+ This gives the total number of frequency transitions on this CPU. The cat
+ output will have a single count which is the total number of frequency
+ transitions.
+
+::
+
+ <mysystem>:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats # cat total_trans
+ 20
+
+trans_table
+ This will give a fine grained information about all the CPU frequency
+ transitions. The cat output here is a two dimensional matrix, where an entry
+ <i,j> (row i, column j) represents the count of number of transitions from
+ Freq_i to Freq_j. Freq_i rows and Freq_j columns follow the sorting order in
+ which the driver has provided the frequency table initially to the cpufreq
+ core and so can be sorted (ascending or descending) or unsorted. The output
+ here also contains the actual freq values for each row and column for better
+ readability.
+
+ If the transition table is bigger than PAGE_SIZE, reading this will
+ return an -EFBIG error.

-1. Introduction
-
-cpufreq-stats is a driver that provides CPU frequency statistics for each CPU.
-These statistics are provided in /sysfs as a bunch of read_only interfaces. This
-interface (when configured) will appear in a separate directory under cpufreq
-in /sysfs (<sysfs root>/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/stats/) for each CPU.
-Various statistics will form read_only files under this directory.
-
-This driver is designed to be independent of any particular cpufreq_driver
-that may be running on your CPU. So, it will work with any cpufreq_driver.
-
-
-2. Statistics Provided (with example)
-
-cpufreq stats provides following statistics (explained in detail below).
-- time_in_state
-- total_trans
-- trans_table
-
-All the statistics will be from the time the stats driver has been inserted
-(or the time the stats were reset) to the time when a read of a particular
-statistic is done. Obviously, stats driver will not have any information
-about the frequency transitions before the stats driver insertion.

-Write-only attribute that can be used to reset the stat counters. This can be
-useful for evaluating system behaviour under different governors without the
-need for a reboot.
-
-- time_in_state
-This gives the amount of time spent in each of the frequencies supported by
-this CPU. The cat output will have "<frequency> <time>" pair in each line, which
-will mean this CPU spent <time> usertime units of time at <frequency>. Output
-will have one line for each of the supported frequencies. usertime units here
-is 10mS (similar to other time exported in /proc).

-
-
-- total_trans
-This gives the total number of frequency transitions on this CPU. The cat
-output will have a single count which is the total number of frequency
-transitions.

-<mysystem>:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats # cat total_trans

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-- trans_table
-This will give a fine grained information about all the CPU frequency
-transitions. The cat output here is a two dimensional matrix, where an entry
-<i,j> (row i, column j) represents the count of number of transitions from
-Freq_i to Freq_j. Freq_i rows and Freq_j columns follow the sorting order in
-which the driver has provided the frequency table initially to the cpufreq core
-and so can be sorted (ascending or descending) or unsorted. The output here
-also contains the actual freq values for each row and column for better
-readability.
-
-If the transition table is bigger than PAGE_SIZE, reading this will
-return an -EFBIG error.
