Should I port XFreq to CoreFreq ?

[cyring]

This is a question whether XFreq should be refactored to integrate the CoreFreq kernel module ?

• Benefits

1. accuracy of the driver
2. more processors and their technologies, features, capabilities support (Ryzen, Xeon), Overclocking, Uncore
3. more data coming from the PCI space: IMC, DRAM, Bus
4. getting Kernel data with less overhead, such as monitoring the tasks list

• Cons

1. CoreFreq needs Kernel mode whereas XFreq is a userspace software (with the help of standard kmods)
2. FreeBSD CoreFreq driver is not developed
3. impacts the CoreFreq daemon to manage multi-clients:
   • process synchronization,
   • shared memory strategy,
   • commands ring-buffers,
     ...
