maintainerv4 cover cpufreq: introduce a new AMD CPU frequency control mechanism
Hi all,
We would like to introduce a new AMD CPU frequency control mechanism as the "amd-pstate" driver for modern AMD Zen based CPU series in Linux Kernel. The new mechanism is based on Collaborative processor performance control (CPPC) which is finer grain frequency management than legacy ACPI hardware P-States. Current AMD CPU platforms are using the ACPI P-states driver to manage CPU frequency and clocks with switching only in 3 P-states. AMD P-States is to replace the ACPI P-states controls, allows a flexible, low-latency interface for the Linux kernel to directly communicate the performance hints to hardware.
"amd-pstate" leverages the Linux kernel governors such as *schedutil*, *ondemand*, etc. to manage the performance hints which are provided by CPPC hardware functionality. The first version for amd-pstate is to support one of the Zen3 processors, and we will support more in future after we verify the hardware and SBIOS functionalities.
There are two types of hardware implementations for amd-pstate: one is full MSR support and another is shared memory support. It can use X86_FEATURE_AMD_CPPC feature flag to distinguish the different types.
Using the new AMD P-States method + kernel governors (*schedutil*, *ondemand*, ...) to manage the frequency update is the most appropriate bridge between AMD Zen based hardware processor and Linux kernel, the processor is able to adjust to the most efficiency frequency according to the kernel scheduler loading.
Performance Per Watt (PPW) Calculation:
The PPW calculation is referred by below paper:
https://software.intel.com/content/dam/develop/external/us/en/documents/performance-per-what-paper.pdf
Below formula is referred from below spec to measure the PPW:
(F / t) / P = F * t / (t * E) = F / E,
"F" is the number of frames per second.
"P" is power measured in watts.
"E" is energy measured in joules.
We use the RAPL interface with "perf" tool to get the energy data of the package power.
The data comparisons between amd-pstate and acpi-freq module are tested on AMD Cezanne processor:
1) TBench CPU benchmark:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | TBench (Performance Per Watt) | | Higher is better | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | Performance Per Watt | Performance Per Watt | | Kernel Module | (Schedutil) | (Ondemand) | | | Unit: MB / (s * J) | Unit: MB / (s * J) | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | | | | acpi-cpufreq | 3.022 | 2.969 | | | | | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | | | | amd-pstate | 3.131 | 3.284 | | | | | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+
2) Gitsource CPU benchmark:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Gitsource (Performance Per Watt) | | Higher is better | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | Performance Per Watt | Performance Per Watt | | Kernel Module | (Schedutil) | (Ondemand) | | | Unit: 1 / (s * J) | Unit: 1 / (s * J) | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | | | | acpi-cpufreq | 3.42172E-07 | 2.74508E-07 | | | | | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | | | | amd-pstate | 4.09141E-07 | 3.47610E-07 | | | | | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+
3) Speedometer 2.0 CPU benchmark:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Speedometer 2.0 (Performance Per Watt) | | Higher is better | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | Performance Per Watt | Performance Per Watt | | Kernel Module | (Schedutil) | (Ondemand) | | | Unit: 1 / (s * J) | Unit: 1 / (s * J) | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | | | | acpi-cpufreq | 0.116111767 | 0.110321664 | | | | | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | | | | amd-pstate | 0.115825281 | 0.122024299 | | | | | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+
According to above average data, we can see this solution has shown better performance per watt scaling on mobile CPU benchmarks in most of cases.

We received two issues that reported on the processors with shared memory solution from the community.
First one:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/[email protected]/
Thanks Giovanni's support and suggestions, we corrected the caculation method and duplicated the performance issue in a 64 cores / 128 threads threadripper which is simliar with EPYC 7713. Check with firmware guy, the sample rate is about 1 ms that the hardware reponds the frequency change. We are working to simulate the acpi pstates with cppc api and checking where is the gap with acpi-cpufreq. Will share you the status later.
Second one:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/[email protected]/
Thanks Matt to help us reproduce this issue in our side with Ryzen 5900X. Below is the video to compare with amd-pstate and acpi-cpufreq on "Control" steam games. The FPS can be increased as well. It is probably something wrong in the SBIOS.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/DM4PR12MB5136084E5DC1809FBB578075F1959@DM4PR12MB5136.namprd12.prod.outlook.com/
Due to some issues on shared memory solution, so we fallback to build as a module and add a parameter "shared_mem" to disable amd-pstate on processors with shared memory solution for the moment till we complete tunning on this function.
Thanks,
Ray

maintainerPATCH v4 1/22 x86/cpufreatures: add AMD Collaborative Processor Performance Control feature flag
Add Collaborative Processor Performance Control feature flag for AMD processors.
This feature flag will be used on the following amd-pstate driver. The amd-pstate driver has two approaches to implement the frequency control behavior. That depends on the CPU hardware implementation. One is "Full MSR Support" and another is "Shared Memory Support". The feature flag indicates the current processors with "Full MSR Support".

maintainerPATCH v4 3/22 ACPI: CPPC: implement support for SystemIO registers
In reply to Huang RuiFrom: Steven Noonan <[email protected]>
According to the ACPI v6.2 (and later) specification, SystemIO can be used for _CPC registers. This teaches cppc_acpi how to handle such registers.
This patch was tested using the amd_pstate driver on my Zephyrus G15 (model GA503QS) using the current version 410 BIOS, which uses a SystemIO register for the HighestPerformance element in _CPC.

In reply to Huang RuiFrom: Mario Limonciello <[email protected]>
As this is a static check, it should be based upon what is currently present on the system. This makes probeing more deterministic.
While local APIC flags field (lapic_flags) of cpu core in MADT table is 0, then the cpu core won't be enabled. In this case, _CPC won't be found in this core, and return back to _CPC invalid with walking through possible cpus (include disable cpus). This is not expected, so switch to check present CPUs instead.

Add a new function to enable CPPC feature. This function will write Continuous Performance Control package EnableRegister field on the processor.
CPPC EnableRegister register described in section 8.4.7.1 of ACPI 6.4:
This element is optional. If supported, contains a resource descriptor with a single Register() descriptor that describes a register to which OSPM writes a One to enable CPPC on this processor. Before this register is set, the processor will be controlled by legacy mechanisms (ACPI Pstates, firmware, etc.).
This register will be used for AMD processors to enable amd-pstate function instead of legacy ACPI P-States.

maintainerPATCH v4 6/22 cpufreq: amd: introduce a new amd pstate driver to support future processors
In reply to Huang Ruiamd-pstate is the AMD CPU performance scaling driver that introduces a new CPU frequency control mechanism on AMD Zen based CPU series in Linux kernel. The new mechanism is based on Collaborative processor performance control (CPPC) which is finer grain frequency management than legacy ACPI hardware P-States. Current AMD CPU platforms are using the ACPI P-states driver to manage CPU frequency and clocks with switching only in 3 P-states. AMD P-States is to replace the ACPI P-states controls, allows a flexible, low-latency interface for the Linux kernel to directly communicate the performance hints to hardware.
"amd-pstate" leverages the Linux kernel governors such as *schedutil*, *ondemand*, etc. to manage the performance hints which are provided by CPPC hardware functionality. The first version for amd-pstate is to support one of the Zen3 processors, and we will support more in future after we verify the hardware and SBIOS functionalities.
There are two types of hardware implementations for amd-pstate: one is full MSR support and another is shared memory support. It can use X86_FEATURE_CPPC feature flag to distinguish the different types.
Using the new AMD P-States method + kernel governors (*schedutil*, *ondemand*, ...) to manage the frequency update is the most appropriate bridge between AMD Zen based hardware processor and Linux kernel, the processor is able to adjust to the most efficiency frequency according to the kernel scheduler loading.
Performance Per Watt (PPW) Calculation:
The PPW calculation is referred by below paper:
https://software.intel.com/content/dam/develop/external/us/en/documents/performance-per-what-paper.pdf
Below formula is referred from below spec to measure the PPW:
(F / t) / P = F * t / (t * E) = F / E,
"F" is the number of frames per second.
"P" is power measured in watts.
"E" is energy measured in joules.
We use the RAPL interface with "perf" tool to get the energy data of the package power.
The data comparisons between amd-pstate and acpi-freq module are tested on AMD Cezanne processor:
1) TBench CPU benchmark:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | TBench (Performance Per Watt) | | Higher is better | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | Performance Per Watt | Performance Per Watt | | Kernel Module | (Schedutil) | (Ondemand) | | | Unit: MB / (s * J) | Unit: MB / (s * J) | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | | | | acpi-cpufreq | 3.022 | 2.969 | | | | | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | | | | amd-pstate | 3.131 | 3.284 | | | | | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+

3) Speedometer 2.0 CPU benchmark:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Speedometer 2.0 (Performance Per Watt) | | Higher is better | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | Performance Per Watt | Performance Per Watt | | Kernel Module | (Schedutil) | (Ondemand) | | | Unit: 1 / (s * J) | Unit: 1 / (s * J) | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | | | | acpi-cpufreq | 0.116111767 | 0.110321664 | | | | | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | | | | | amd-pstate | 0.115825281 | 0.122024299 | | | | | +-------------------+------------------------+------------------------+
According to above average data, we can see this solution has shown better performance per watt scaling on mobile CPU benchmarks in most of cases.

I think there was one more site that did this. You don't *need* to change it, but it's something I noted while reading through the thing.
Over-all I think the series looks nice. Thanks for doing this.

Performance Per Watt (PPW) Calculation:
The PPW calculation is referred by below paper:
https://software.intel.com/content/dam/develop/external/us/en/documents/performance-per-what-paper.pdf
Quoted 7 lines
Below formula is referred from below spec to measure the PPW:
(F / t) / P = F * t / (t * E) = F / E,
"F" is the number of frames per second.
"P" is power measured in watts.
"E" is energy measured in joules.
Hello, I'd appreciate if you can remove the reference to the above paper and formula, because it is not really relevant to this context, and ends up being confusing.
It describes performance per watt tailored to graphics benchmarks, in the form of frames per joule. Nothing wrong with that, but it only works for tests that measure frames per second, and none of the tests below is of that type.
You have:
- tbench measures throughput (MB/sec)
- gitsource, aka run the git test suite, measures elapsed time
- speedometer, a web browser test that gives "runs per minute"
If you want performance per watt, you need to express your result as "operations per second", where "operations" is up to you to define. For tbench, one "operation" is moving a MB of data. For speedometer, one "operation" is one "run", as defined in the benchmark. Once you have op/sec (aka performance), divide by the average power measured over the entire duration of the benchmark.
In cases like gitsource, where you have elapsed_time as a result, performance per watt is 1 / (elapsed_time * average_power).
Quoted 8 lines
We use the RAPL interface with "perf" tool to get the energy data of the package power.
The data comparisons between amd-pstate and acpi-freq module are tested on AMD Cezanne processor:
1) TBench CPU benchmark:

The unit "MB / (s * J)" doesn't really work, it should be "MB / (sec * watt)". Can you double check that you divided the performance result by the average power? Same for the other tests.
It is also relevant to show performance, alongside with perf-per-watt.
Thanks!

OK, actually, we would test 3D steam game benchmarks as well on our processors with amd-pstate. :-)
And yes, below three benchmark tests are not related with "frame", but the "MB" or "runs" of speedometer are actually another meaning of "frame" which represent the performance data on each benchmark, right. That's is original reason to put paper and formula here.
If you think it may confuse any guys, I can remove this in next version.

maintainerPATCH v4 8/22 cpufreq: amd: introduce the support for the processors with shared memory solution
In reply to Huang RuiIn some of Zen2 and Zen3 based processors, they are using the shared memory that exposed from ACPI SBIOS. In this kind of the processors, there is no MSR support, so we add acpi cppc function as the backend for them.
It is using a module param (shared_mem) to enable related processors manually. We will enable this by default once we address performance issue on this solution.

maintainerPATCH v4 14/22 cpupower: add the function to check amd-pstate enabled
In reply to Huang RuiThe processor with amd-pstate function also supports legacy ACPI hardware P-States feature as well. Once driver sets amd-pstate eanbled, the processor will respond the finer grain amd-pstate feature instead of legacy ACPI P-States. So it introduces the cpupower_amd_pstate_enabled() to check whether the current kernel enables amd-pstate or acpi-cpufreq module.

maintainerPATCH v4 19/22 cpupower: enable boost state support for amd-pstate module
In reply to Huang RuiThe legacy ACPI hardware P-States function has 3 P-States on ACPI table, the CPU frequency only can be switched between the 3 P-States. While the processor supports the boost state, it will have another boost state that the frequency can be higher than P0 state, and the state can be decoded by the function of decode_pstates() and read by amd_pci_get_num_boost_states().
However, the new AMD P-States function is different than legacy ACPI hardware P-State on AMD processors. That has a finer grain frequency range between the highest and lowest frequency. And boost frequency is actually the frequency which is mapped on highest performance ratio. The similiar previous P0 frequency is mapped on nominal performance ratio. If the highest performance on the processor is higher than nominal performance, then we think the current processor supports the boost state. And it uses amd_pstate_boost_init() to initialize boost for AMD P-States function.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 +.. include:: <isonum.txt> + +=============================================== +``amd-pstate`` CPU Performance Scaling Driver +=============================================== + +:Copyright: |copy| 2021 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. + +:Author: Huang Rui <[email protected]> + + +Introduction +=================== + +``amd-pstate`` is the AMD CPU performance scaling driver that introduces a +new CPU frequency control mechanism on modern AMD APU and CPU series in +Linux kernel. The new mechanism is based on Collaborative Processor +Performance Control (CPPC) which provides finer grain frequency management +than legacy ACPI hardware P-States. Current AMD CPU/APU platforms are using +the ACPI P-states driver to manage CPU frequency and clocks with switching +only in 3 P-states. CPPC replaces the ACPI P-states controls, allows a +flexible, low-latency interface for the Linux kernel to directly +communicate the performance hints to hardware. + +``amd-pstate`` leverages the Linux kernel governors such as ``schedutil``, +``ondemand``, etc. to manage the performance hints which are provided by +CPPC hardware functionality that internally follows the hardware +specification (for details refer to AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual +Volume 2: System Programming [1]_). Currently ``amd-pstate`` supports basic +frequency control function according to kernel governors on some of the +Zen2 and Zen3 processors, and we will implement more AMD specific functions +in future after we verify them on the hardware and SBIOS. + + +AMD CPPC Overview +======================= + +Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) interface enumerates a +continuous, abstract, and unit-less performance value in a scale that is +not tied to a specific performance state / frequency. This is an ACPI +standard [2]_ which software can specify application performance goals and +hints as a relative target to the infrastructure limits. AMD processors +provides the low latency register model (MSR) instead of AML code +interpreter for performance adjustments. ``amd-pstate`` will initialize a +``struct cpufreq_driver`` instance ``amd_pstate_driver`` with the callbacks +to manage each performance update behavior. :: + + Highest Perf ------>+-----------------------+ +-----------------------+ + | | | | + | | | | + | | Max Perf ---->| | + | | | | + | | | | + Nominal Perf ------>+-----------------------+ +-----------------------+ + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + | | Desired Perf ---->| | + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + Lowest non- | | | | + linear perf ------>+-----------------------+ +-----------------------+ + | | | | + | | Lowest perf ---->| | + | | | | + Lowest perf ------>+-----------------------+ +-----------------------+ + | | | | + | | | | + | | | | + 0 ------>+-----------------------+ +-----------------------+ + + AMD P-States Performance Scale + + +.. _perf_cap: + +AMD CPPC Performance Capability +-------------------------------- + +Highest Performance (RO) +......................... + +It is the absolute maximum performance an individual processor may reach, +assuming ideal conditions. This performance level may not be sustainable +for long durations and may only be achievable if other platform components +are in a specific state; for example, it may require other processors be in +an idle state. This would be equivalent to the highest frequencies +supported by the processor. + +Nominal (Guaranteed) Performance (RO) +...................................... + +It is the maximum sustained performance level of the processor, assuming +ideal operating conditions. In absence of an external constraint (power, +thermal, etc.) this is the performance level the processor is expected to +be able to maintain continuously. All cores/processors are expected to be +able to sustain their nominal performance state simultaneously. + +Lowest non-linear Performance (RO) +................................... + +It is the lowest performance level at which nonlinear power savings are +achieved, for example, due to the combined effects of voltage and frequency +scaling. Above this threshold, lower performance levels should be generally +more energy efficient than higher performance levels. This register +effectively conveys the most efficient performance level to ``amd-pstate``. + +Lowest Performance (RO) +........................ + +It is the absolute lowest performance level of the processor. Selecting a +performance level lower than the lowest nonlinear performance level may +cause an efficiency penalty but should reduce the instantaneous power +consumption of the processor. + +AMD CPPC Performance Control +------------------------------ + +``amd-pstate`` passes performance goals through these registers. The +register drives the behavior of the desired performance target. + +Minimum requested performance (RW) +................................... + +``amd-pstate`` specifies the minimum allowed performance level. + +Maximum requested performance (RW) +................................... + +``amd-pstate`` specifies a limit the maximum performance that is expected +to be supplied by the hardware. + +Desired performance target (RW) +................................... + +``amd-pstate`` specifies a desired target in the CPPC performance scale as +a relative number. This can be expressed as percentage of nominal +performance (infrastructure max). Below the nominal sustained performance +level, desired performance expresses the average performance level of the +processor subject to hardware. Above the nominal performance level, +processor must provide at least nominal performance requested and go higher +if current operating conditions allow. + +Energy Performance Preference (EPP) (RW) +......................................... + +Provides a hint to the hardware if software wants to bias toward performance +(0x0) or energy efficiency (0xff). + + +Key Governors Support +======================= + +``amd-pstate`` can be used with all the (generic) scaling governors listed +by the ``scaling_available_governors`` policy attribute in ``sysfs``. Then, +it is responsible for the configuration of policy objects corresponding to +CPUs and provides the ``CPUFreq`` core (and the scaling governors attached +to the policy objects) with accurate information on the maximum and minimum +operating frequencies supported by the hardware. Users can check the +``scaling_cur_freq`` information comes from the ``CPUFreq`` core. + +``amd-pstate`` mainly supports ``schedutil`` and ``ondemand`` for dynamic +frequency control. It is to fine tune the processor configuration on +``amd-pstate`` to the ``schedutil`` with CPU CFS scheduler. ``amd-pstate`` +registers adjust_perf callback to implement the CPPC similar performance +update behavior. It is initialized by ``sugov_start`` and then populate the +CPU's update_util_data pointer to assign ``sugov_update_single_perf`` as +the utilization update callback function in CPU scheduler. CPU scheduler +will call ``cpufreq_update_util`` and assign the target performance +according to the ``struct sugov_cpu`` that utilization update belongs to. +Then ``amd-pstate`` updates the desired performance according to the CPU +scheduler assigned. + + +Processor Support +======================= + +The ``amd-pstate`` initialization will fail if the _CPC in ACPI SBIOS is +not existed at the detected processor, and it uses ``acpi_cpc_valid`` to +check the _CPC existence. All Zen based processors support legacy ACPI +hardware P-States function, so while the ``amd-pstate`` fails to be +initialized, the kernel will fall back to initialize ``acpi-cpufreq`` +driver. + +There are two types of hardware implementations for ``amd-pstate``: one is +`Full MSR Support <perf_cap_>`_ and another is `Shared Memory Support +<perf_cap_>`_. It can use :c:macro:`X86_FEATURE_CPPC` feature flag (for +details refer to Processor Programming Reference (PPR) for AMD Family +19h Model 21h, Revision B0 Processors [3]_) to indicate the different +types. ``amd-pstate`` is to register different ``amd_pstate_perf_funcs`` +instances for different hardware implementations. + +Currently, some of Zen2 and Zen3 processors support ``amd-pstate``. In the +future, it will be supported on more and more AMD processors. + +Full MSR Support +----------------- + +Some new Zen3 processors such as Cezanne provide the MSR registers directly +while the :c:macro:`X86_FEATURE_CPPC` CPU feature flag is set. +``amd-pstate`` can handle the MSR register to implement the fast switch +function in ``CPUFreq`` that can shrink latency of frequency control on the +interrupt context. + +Shared Memory Support +---------------------- + +If :c:macro:`X86_FEATURE_CPPC` CPU feature flag is not set, that means the +processor supports shared memory solution. In this case, ``amd-pstate`` +uses the ``cppc_acpi`` helper methods to implement the callback functions +of ``amd_pstate_perf_funcs``. + + +AMD P-States and ACPI hardware P-States always can be supported in one +processor. But AMD P-States has the higher priority and if it is enabled +with :c:macro:`MSR_AMD_CPPC_ENABLE` or ``cppc_set_enable``, it will respond +to the request from AMD P-States. + + +User Space Interface in ``sysfs`` +================================== + +``amd-pstate`` exposes several global attributes (files) in ``sysfs`` to +control its functionality at the system level. They located in the +``/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policyX/`` directory and affect all CPUs. :: + + root@hr-test1:/home/ray# ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/*amd* + /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/amd_pstate_highest_perf + /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/amd_pstate_lowest_nonlinear_freq + /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/amd_pstate_lowest_nonlinear_perf + /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/amd_pstate_lowest_perf + /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/amd_pstate_max_freq + /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/amd_pstate_min_freq + /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/amd_pstate_nominal_freq + /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/amd_pstate_nominal_perf + + +``amd_pstate_highest_perf / amd_pstate_max_freq`` + +Maximum CPPC performance and CPU frequency that the driver is allowed to +set in percent of the maximum supported CPPC performance level (the highest +performance supported in `AMD CPPC Performance Capability <perf_cap_>`_). +This attribute is read-only. + +``amd_pstate_nominal_perf / amd_pstate_nominal_freq`` + +Nominal CPPC performance and CPU frequency that the driver is allowed to +set in percent of the maximum supported CPPC performance level (Please see +nominal performance in `AMD CPPC Performance Capability <perf_cap_>`_). +This attribute is read-only. + +``amd_pstate_lowest_nonlinear_perf / amd_pstate_lowest_nonlinear_freq`` + +The lowest non-linear CPPC performance and CPU frequency that the driver is +allowed to set in percent of the maximum supported CPPC performance level +(Please see the lowest non-linear performance in `AMD CPPC Performance +Capability <perf_cap_>`_). +This attribute is read-only. + +``amd_pstate_lowest_perf`` + +The lowest physical CPPC performance. The minimum CPU frequency can be read +back from ``cpuinfo`` member of ``cpufreq_policy``, so we won't expose it +here. +This attribute is read-only. + + +``amd-pstate`` vs ``acpi-cpufreq`` +====================================== + +On majority of AMD platforms supported by ``acpi-cpufreq``, the ACPI tables +provided by the platform firmware used for CPU performance scaling, but +only provides 3 P-states on AMD processors. +However, on modern AMD APU and CPU series, it provides the collaborative +processor performance control according to ACPI protocol and customize this +for AMD platforms. That is fine-grain and continuous frequency range +instead of the legacy hardware P-states. ``amd-pstate`` is the kernel +module which supports the new AMD P-States mechanism on most of future AMD +platforms. The AMD P-States mechanism will be the more performance and energy +efficiency frequency management method on AMD processors. + +``cpupower`` tool support for ``amd-pstate`` +=============================================== + +``amd-pstate`` is supported on ``cpupower`` tool that can be used to dump the frequency +information. And it is in progress to support more and more operations for new +``amd-pstate`` module with this tool. :: + + root@hr-test1:/home/ray# cpupower frequency-info + analyzing CPU 0: + driver: amd-pstate + CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 + CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 + maximum transition latency: 131 us + hardware limits: 400 MHz - 4.68 GHz + available cpufreq governors: ondemand conservative powersave userspace performance schedutil + current policy: frequency should be within 400 MHz and 4.68 GHz. + The governor "schedutil" may decide which speed to use + within this range. + current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware + current CPU frequency: 4.02 GHz (asserted by call to kernel) + boost state support: + Supported: yes + Active: yes + AMD PSTATE Highest Performance: 166.
