reviewerv2 cover AMD Pstate Driver Core Performance Boost
The patchset series add core performance boost feature for AMD pstate driver including passisve ,guide and active mode support.
User can change core frequency boost control with a new sysfs entry:
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"
The legancy boost interface has been removed due to the function conflict with new cpb_boost which can support all modes.
1). enable core boost:
$ sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost" $ lscpu -ae CPU NODE SOCKET CORE L1d:L1i:L2:L3 ONLINE MAXMHZ MINMHZ MHZ 0 0 0 0 0:0:0:0 yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578 1 0 0 1 1:1:1:0 yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578 2 0 0 2 2:2:2:0 yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2583.855 3 0 0 3 3:3:3:0 yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578 4 0 0 4 4:4:4:0 yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578
2). disabble core boost:
$ sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost" $ lscpu -ae 0 0 0 0 0:0:0:0 yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578 1 0 0 1 1:1:1:0 yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578 2 0 0 2 2:2:2:0 yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578 3 0 0 3 3:3:3:0 yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578 4 0 0 4 4:4:4:0 yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
The patches have been tested with the AMD 7950X processor and many users would like to get core boost control enabled for power saving.
Changes from v1:
* drop suspend/resume fix patch 6/7 because of the fix should be in another fix series instead of CPB feature
* move the set_boost remove patch to the last(Mario)
* Fix commit info with "Closes:" (Mario)
* simplified global.cpb_supported initialization(Mario)
* Add guide mode support for CPB control
* Fixed some Doc typos and add guide mode info to Doc as well.

reviewerPATCH v2 1/6 cpufreq: amd-pstate: initialize new core precision boost state
From: Perry Yuan <[email protected]>
Add gloal global_params to represent current CPU Performance Boost(cpb) state for cpu frequency scaling, both active and passive modes all can support CPU cores frequency boosting control which is based on the BIOS setting, while BIOS turn on the "Core Performance Boost", it will allow OS control each core highest perf limitation from OS side.
If core performance boost is disabled while a core is in a boosted P-state, the core transitions to the highest performance non-boosted P-state, that is the same as the nominal frequency limit.

In reply to Perry YuanFrom: Perry Yuan <[email protected]>
When CPU core Precision Boost state changed, the max frequency will also need to be updated according to the current boost state, if boost is disabled now, the max perf will be limited to nominal perf values. otherwise the max frequency will be showed wrongly.

Select the min perf to fix the highest perf value while update pstate CPPC request MSR register, here we need to limit the max perf value when CPU boost is disabled in case of that highest perf value in the MSR will be reset to original highest perf value which cause the BOOST control failed.

Introduce AMD CPU frequency boosting control sysfs entry which used for switching boost on and boost off.
If core performance boost is disabled while a core is in a boosted P-state, the core automatically transitions to the highest performance non-boosted P-state The highest perf and frequency will be limited by the setting value.

This leaves amd_pstate_ut_check_freq() in drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut.c broken. Likely, the whole if (cpudata->boost_supported) { hunk should be removed there too.
Also, in the header file, there's kernel-doc before struct amd_cpudata, where boost_supported is mentioned. It should be removed too then.

Yeah; I though the kernel robot caught this on v1 too. Make sure you run the unit tests at *each* patch so that this code remains bisectable.
