First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different now. Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates). The "old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing. Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be simplified quite a bit. On top of that, the common code and data structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and quite annoying problems are addressed. In particular, the handling of governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided (particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code). In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to cpufreq. Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the scheduler's utilization data. That should allow the scheduler and cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run. In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are updated too. Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver. Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material, including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates, and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading ACPI tables from initrd. Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.
