New: 6.9-rc kernels - with Ryzen 7840HS CPU single core never boosts to max frequency
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218759
Bug ID: 218759
Summary: 6.9-rc kernels - with Ryzen 7840HS CPU single core
never boosts to max frequency
Product: Power Management
Version: 2.5
Hardware: AMD
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: cpufreq
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: No
There is a change from 6.8 kernel to 6.9-rc which causes AMD Ryzen 7840HS CPU not to be able to boost single core CPU.
Geekbench single core score is approx 15% lower (2265 vs 2538). The problem does not show with kernel 6.8 or 6.7.
It is irrelevant whether kernel command line has amd-pstate-epp driver loaded as active or passive or guide.
Simple loading of single core with:
cat /dev/zero > /dev/null
Shows both in 'htop' as well as with 'turbostat' that in the case of kernel 4.9-rc5 (as well as previous rcX) that CPU boosts single core only to 4.35GHz where with previous kernels it goes as high as 5.1GHz.
Here are the outputs of lscpu, and turbopower while running 'cat /dev/zero > /dev/null' 1st with 6.8 kernel (working ok) and than with 6.9-rc5 kernel which has a problem
Hint if it helps - lscpu already shows maximum frequency as 4350Mhz with 6.9-rc kernels

Hi There,
Could you run the script to capture the CPPC capabilities to check the detail?

BTW, it is exactly the same when ran on 'older' 6.8.7 kernel

Hi Gaha,
Sorry to reply late,
could you please try the below two patchset ?
1. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
2. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
then switch to amd pstate EPP driver mode, then provide "lscpu -ae" output with "tbench -t 100 2"
then we could see what it changed.
Perry.

hi, I've applied patches to 6.9.0-rc5 and built kernel with those. With kernel command line being either "passive", "guided" or "active" result is the same - single core never goes above 4.35Ghz. with 6.8 kernel it does go all the way to 5.1Ghz.
here is the output of lscpu -ae when running Geekbench (during single core load) and it is the same with 'cat /dev/zero > /dev/null' . As for the 'tbench -t 100 2' - on my ubuntu system tbench is part of diskbench. If you were referring to tbench as part of kernel testing suite
(https://docs.kernel.org/6.8/admin-guide/pm/amd-pstate.html) - i tried building it, it produces errors as scripts are looking for amd-pstate driver not amd-pstate-epp driver etc...
However, am 100% certain that frequencies never boost above 4.35Ghz.(went back to 6.8.7 kernel and all is good).
Here is the (hopefully useful output) showing that new 'cpp_boost' flag is there etc as well as lspci -ae outputs during single core loading:

Are there any other tests i could run to help figure out root cause of problem with 6.9 kernel ?

FYI - sorry if obvious to you & the team - i tried manually compiling 6.8.7 and it works fine. I tried to see if these patches can be applied to it, but that is not the case.
Therefore am certain that whatever is causing scaling in single core workloads not to work it is result of the changes made between 6.8 and 6.9 Appreciate this may not help but here it is.
thank you

hi , thank you for the suggestions (@Mario),
I've just tried that as well. Single core workloads still do not go above
'basic' speeds. In addition to adding 'amd_prefcore=disable' below i've also tried adding explicitly to kernel command line amd_pstate various parameters (active, guided, passive) 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="amd_pstate=guided amd_prefcore=disable iommu=pt quiet " with no change in behaviour

Even if that is indeterminate you'll at least have a bunch of function hashes you can use to reduce the number of steps for a full kernel tree bisect.

If you can build a kernel you basically take a good and bash hash and then pick a point in between and keep going at half way points until you found the broken commit.

hi,
i tried applying the batch to linux rcX tree and i can not get it to apply
the patch. Have tried v6.9-rc7, -rc6 , -rc5 and -rc1 - all fail with the same msg:
zh@muc:~/git/linus-kernel$ git am ./20240507_perry_yuan_amd_pstate_driver_fixes_and_improvements.mbx Applying: cpufreq: amd-pstate: optimiza the initial frequency values verification error: patch failed: drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c:873 error: drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c: patch does not apply Patch failed at 0001 cpufreq: amd-pstate: optimiza the initial frequency values verification hint: Use 'git am --show-current-patch=diff' to see the failed patch When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue". If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead. To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
should I apply this to a different 'base' kernel code ?
Will post file as a result of 'git am --show-current-patch=diff' as well if it helps:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from Mario's earlier comment, the number of patches, and number of changed lines this does sounds like this won't be applied for 6.9 this late; there are no Fixes or stable tags either.
So what's the plan to prevent this regression from entering 6.9? Do we know which commit caused this? Can we revert that one and reapply it for 6.10 (together with these changes, once reviewed).

Thank you Mario! I tried applying only 10 or 9&10 (git am -i ./patchfromperry.mbx) and it fails in the same way.
Have even played with previous other pstate patches (latest versions of those mentioned at the top of this thread that Perry mentioned may help) - with no avail.
So my question is please the same:
*** to which source version these patches correspond to and what are the
prerequiste patches (if any) ? ***

Thank you Mario - not so simple for not-kernel-developers :( Appreciate the response and clarity though :)
Was hoping to be able to test and report but will need to wait a month or so i guess for 6.10-rc1 to be able to do that. Pity 6.9 will limit single core performance on loads of AMD Ryzen CPUs ... unless Perry manages to address that issue w/o requiring all the other patches ... still not clear which change from 6.8 to 6.9 caused this to go 'wrong'

hi Mario - FANTASTIC job - Thank you :) !
Applied to -rc7 - recompiled - all good.
When running single core tasks on my Ryzen 7840HS single core does go to almost 5.1GHz as it used to... Geekbench scores are great.
I tried only with 'amd_pstate=active' as kernel parameter - should i test with 'guided' and/or 'passive' , or it is a waste of time as this fix addressed all scenarios ?
