Hello.

I developed the Intel Thread Director (ITD) / Hardware Feedback Interfce (H=
FI)
device driver to obtain performance/efficiency information for each CPU cor=
e,
which was implemented to improve the performance of Intel hybrid architectu=
re
CPUs. (e.g. Raptor Lake (refresh), Alder Lake, LakeField processors)

This driver simply obtains performance/efficiency information from the CPU =
and
stores it in the "cpu_group" struct data referenced by the ULE scheduler.
However, since the ULE scheduler side is not yet supported,
performance/efficiency cannot be improved by installing this driver at this
time.

I will try to modify the ULE scheduler side in the future, but I posted this
driver first because it can be implemented independently of this driver and=
 it
is difficult to modify the ULE scheduler.

There are multiple patches.
The purpose and application method of each is summarized in
README-coredirector.txt file.

Please merge it into the FreeBSD kernel source tree if possible.

Also, I'm new to creating a FreeBSD's kernel patch.
If you find any problems with the posting method, source code style, etc., I
would be happy if you could tell me how to deal with them.

Best regards.
