-Tuning Interface in ``debugfs``
--------------------------------
-
-The ``powersave`` algorithm provided by ``intel_pstate`` for `the Core line of
-processors in the active mode <powersave_>`_ is based on a `PID controller`_
-whose parameters were chosen to address a number of different use cases at the
-same time.  However, it still is possible to fine-tune it to a specific workload
-and the ``debugfs`` interface under ``/sys/kernel/debug/pstate_snb/`` is
-provided for this purpose.  [Note that the ``pstate_snb`` directory will be
-present only if the specific P-state selection algorithm matching the interface
-in it actually is in use.]
