v2 cover amd-pstate Dynamic EPP and raw EPP

From: Mario Limonciello <[email protected]>

Dynamic EPP allows the kernel to register amd-pstate as part of a platform profile. It will change EPP modes matching the user's preference to the platform profile sysfs files as well as power adapter state.

Raw EPP allows userspace to write integers to
energy_performance_preference.

This series is based off superm1/linux.git bleeding-edge branch

v1->v2:
* Rebase
* Change some defaults

Mario Limonciello (5):
cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add dynamic energy performance preference cpufreq/amd-pstate: add kernel command line to override dynamic epp cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add support for platform profile class cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add support for raw EPP writes cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut: Add a unit test for raw EPP

PATCH v2 1/5 cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add dynamic energy performance preference

From: Mario Limonciello <[email protected]>

Dynamic energy performance preference will change the EPP profile based on whether the machine is running on AC or DC power.

A notification chain from the power supply core is used to adjust EPP values on plug in or plug out events.

For non-server systems:
* the default EPP for AC mode is performance.
* the default EPP for DC mode is balance_performance.

---
v1->v2:
* Change defaults to performance (AC) and balance_performance (DC)
* Default Kconfig to disabled for now
* Rebase on latest branch

The check is important to make sure that you can't go to performance mode after init.

I think this is the way I would want to solve it.

Re: [PATCH v2 1/5] cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add dynamic energy performance preference

Dynamic energy performance preference will change the EPP profile based on whether the machine is running on AC or DC power.

A notification chain from the power supply core is used to adjust EPP values on plug in or plug out events.

For non-server systems:
     * the default EPP for AC mode is performance.
     * the default EPP for DC mode is balance_performance.

---
v1->v2:
  * Change defaults to performance (AC) and balance_performance (DC)
  * Default Kconfig to disabled for now
  * Rebase on latest branch

Yes, this looks good, because anyway there is no point in having performance governor and dynamic epp set at the same time.

I found one related quirk though, we are setting performance governor for server platforms in amd_pstate_epp_cpu_init() and then setting epp at the line highlighted above. We dont have a check in *_set_epp() functions for performance governor. This could alter the performance governor behavior if we set a "balanced" epp for it. I haven't tested this part yet.

Add amd_dynamic_epp=enable and amd_dynamic_epp=disable to override the kernel configuration option CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE_DYNAMIC_EPP locally.

Even with this patch, the user can switch the dynamic_epp value via the sysfs file. However, it is useful in case the CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE_DYNAMIC_EPP value is switched in the future.

I suspect that the servers will prefer to have this feature disabled by default (they are always on AC power!) while the laptop/battery operated devices would prefer to have this option enabled by default.

PATCH v2 3/5 cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add support for platform profile class

In reply to Mario Limonciello

From: Mario Limonciello <[email protected]>

The platform profile core allows multiple drivers and devices to register platform profile support.

When the legacy platform profile interface is used all drivers will adjust the platform profile as well.

Add support for registering every CPU with the platform profile handler when dynamic EPP is enabled.

The end result will be that changing the platform profile will modify EPP accordingly.

When the legacy platform profile interface is used all drivers will adjust the platform profile as well.

Add support for registering every CPU with the platform profile handler when dynamic EPP is enabled.

The end result will be that changing the platform profile will modify EPP accordingly.

So prior to the patch, cpudata->policy is supposed to mirror policy->policy. With this patch, this assumption is no longer true. So it is possible for the user to again override the choice of EPP set via platform profile by changing the cpufreq governor ?

Is this the expected behaviour?

The bigger concern is, if the governor was previously "performance" and then the platform profile requested "low power", "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_governor" would still show "performance", which is inconsistent with the behaviour.

Is this the expected behaviour?

The bigger concern is, if the governor was previously "performance" and then the platform profile requested "low power", "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_governor" would still show "performance", which is inconsistent with the behaviour.

This ties back to the previous patches for dynamic EPP. My expectation was that when dynamic EPP is enabled that users can't manually set the EPP anymore (it will return -EBUSY) and likewise turning on dynamic EPP should keep the governor as powersave.

I'll double check all those are properly enforced; but that's at least the intent.

IMO this "should" all work because turning on Dynamic EPP sysfs file forces the driver to go through a state transition that it will tear everything down and back up. The policy will come back up in "powersave" even if it was previously in "performance" when the dynamic EPP sysfs file was turned on.

Longer term; I also envision the scheduler influencing EPP values when dynamic_epp is turned on. The "platform profile" would be an "input" to that decision making process (maybe giving a weighting?), not the only lever.

I haven't given any serious look at how to do this with the scheduler, I wanted to lay the foundation first being dynamic EPP and raw EPP.

So even if dynamic_epp isn't interesting "right now" for server because the focus is around behavior for AC/DC, don't write it off just yet.

Quoted 8 lines

Is this the expected behaviour?

The bigger concern is, if the governor was previously "performance" and then the platform profile requested "low power", "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_governor" would still show "performance", which is inconsistent with the behaviour.

Quoted 4 lines

This ties back to the previous patches for dynamic EPP.  My expectation was that when dynamic EPP is enabled that users can't manually set the EPP anymore (it will return -EBUSY) and likewise turning on dynamic EPP should keep the governor as powersave.

I'll double check all those are properly enforced; but that's at least the intent.

FWIW - I double checked and confirmed that this is working as intended.
* I couldn't change from powersave to performance when dynamic_epp was enabled (-EBUSY)
* I couldn't change energy_performance_preference when dynamic_epp was enabled (-EBUSY)

Quoted 8 lines

IMO this "should" all work because turning on Dynamic EPP sysfs file forces the driver to go through a state transition that it will tear everything down and back up.  The policy will come back up in "powersave" even if it was previously in "performance" when the dynamic EPP sysfs file was turned on.

Longer term; I also envision the scheduler influencing EPP values when dynamic_epp is turned on.  The "platform profile" would be an "input" to that decision making process (maybe giving a weighting?), not the only lever.

I haven't given any serious look at how to do this with the scheduler, I wanted to lay the foundation first being dynamic EPP and raw EPP.

So even if dynamic_epp isn't interesting "right now" for server because the focus is around behavior for AC/DC, don't write it off just yet.

The other option is to create a "3rd" cpufreq driver for amd-pstate when dynamic epp is in use.

The upside is this one could then exclude "energy_performance_preference" and "energy_performance_available_preferences" so no need to report -EBUSY for that case since you can't manually change EPP.

The downside is that you couldn't discover what the kernel was doing with EPP without ftrace.

PATCH v2 4/5 cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add support for raw EPP writes

In reply to Mario Limonciello

From: Mario Limonciello <[email protected]>

The energy performance preference field of the CPPC request MSR supports values from 0 to 255, but the strings only offer 4 values.

The other values are useful for tuning the performance of some workloads.

Add support for writing the raw energy performance preference value to the sysfs file. If the last value written was an integer then an integer will be returned. If the last value written was a string then a string will be returned.
