v11 cover AMD Pstate Fixes And Enhancements

The patch series adds some fixes and enhancements to the AMD pstate driver.

It enables CPPC v2 for certain processors in the family 17H, as requested by TR40 processor users who expect improved performance and lower system temperature.

changes latency and delay values to be read from platform firmware firstly
for more accurate timing.

A new quirk is introduced for supporting amd-pstate on legacy processors which either lack CPPC capability, or only only have CPPC v2 capability

Testing done with one APU system while cpb boost on:

amd_pstate_lowest_nonlinear_freq:1701000
amd_pstate_max_freq:3501000
cpuinfo_max_freq:3501000
cpuinfo_min_freq:400000
scaling_cur_freq:3084836
scaling_max_freq:3501000
scaling_min_freq:400000

analyzing CPU 6:
driver: amd-pstate-epp
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 6
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 6 maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported. hardware limits: 400 MHz - 3.50 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 400 MHz and 3.50 GHz.
The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use within this range.
current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
current CPU frequency: 3.50 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: yes
AMD PSTATE Highest Performance: 255. Maximum Frequency: 3.50 GHz.
AMD PSTATE Nominal Performance: 204. Nominal Frequency: 2.80 GHz.
AMD PSTATE Lowest Non-linear Performance: 124. Lowest Non-linear Frequency: 1.70 GHz. AMD PSTATE Lowest Performance: 30. Lowest Frequency: 400 MHz.

I would greatly appreciate any feedbacks.
Thank you!
Perry.

Changes from v10:
* pick ack-by flags from huang ray for all patches.
* run testing on AMD Ryzen 5 7640U without regression issue.

Changes from v9:
* pick review by flag from Meng Li
* pick test by flag from Ugwekar Dhananjay
* picl review by flag from Gautham R. Shenoy

Changes from v8:
* add commit log for patch 1 and patch 2 (Rafael)
* add missing Perry signed-off-by for new patches #1,#2,#4 (Rafael)
* rebased to latest linux-pm/bleeding-edge

Changes from v7:
* Gautham helped to invole some new improved patches into the patchset.
* Adds comments for cpudata->{min,max}_limit_{perf,freq}, variables [New Patch].
* Clarifies that the units for cpudata->*_freq is in khz via comments [New Patch].
* Implements the unified computation of all cpudata->*_freq

Thanks,

I had explained why the perf is the better words used here than performance in v10.

if you still have concerns for the single word, I can change it in v12 as you want.

PATCH v11 2/8 cpufreq: amd-pstate: Document the units for freq variables in amd_cpudata

In reply to Perry Yuan

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <[email protected]>

The min_limit_freq, max_limit_freq, min_freq, max_freq, nominal_freq and the lowest_nominal_freq members of struct cpudata store the frequency value in khz to be consistent with the cpufreq core. Update the comment to document this.

PATCH v11 3/8 cpufreq: amd-pstate: Unify computation of {max,min,nominal,lowest_nonlinear}_freq

In reply to Perry Yuan

Currently the amd_get_{min, max, nominal, lowest_nonlinear}_freq() helpers computes the values of min_freq, max_freq, nominal_freq and lowest_nominal_freq respectively afresh from cppc_get_perf_caps(). This is not necessary as there are fields in cpudata to cache these values.

To simplify this, add a single helper function named amd_pstate_init_freq() which computes all these frequencies at once, and caches it in cpudata.

Use the cached values everywhere else in the code.

PATCH v11 4/8 cpufreq: amd-pstate: Remove amd_get_{min,max,nominal,lowest_nonlinear}_freq()

In reply to Perry Yuan

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <[email protected]>

amd_get_{min,max,nominal,lowest_nonlinear}_freq() functions merely return cpudata->{min,max,nominal,lowest_nonlinear}_freq values.

There is no loss in readability in replacing their invocations by accesses to the corresponding members of cpudata.

Do so and remove these helper functions.

PATCH v11 5/8 cpufreq: amd-pstate: Bail out if min/max/nominal_freq is 0

In reply to Perry Yuan

The amd-pstate driver cannot work when the min_freq, nominal_freq or the max_freq is zero. When this happens it is prudent to error out early on rather than waiting failing at the time of the governor initialization.

PATCH v11 6/8 cpufreq: amd-pstate: get transition delay and latency value from ACPI tables

In reply to Perry Yuan

Make pstate driver initially retrieve the P-state transition delay and latency values from the BIOS ACPI tables which has more reasonable delay and latency values according to the platform design and requirements.

Previously there values were hardcoded at specific value which may have conflicted with platform and it might not reflect the most accurate or optimized setting for the processor.

PATCH v11 7/8 cppc_acpi: print error message if CPPC is unsupported

In reply to Perry Yuan

The amd-pstate driver can fail when _CPC objects are not supported by the CPU. However, the current error message is ambiguous (see below) and there is no clear way for attributing the failure of the amd-pstate driver to the lack of CPPC support.

[    0.477523] amd_pstate: the _CPC object is not present in SBIOS or ACPI disabled

Fix this by adding an debug message to notify the user if the amd-pstate driver failed to load due to CPPC not be supported by the CPU

PATCH v11 8/8 cpufreq: amd-pstate: Add quirk for the pstate CPPC capabilities missing

In reply to Perry Yuan

Add quirks table to get CPPC capabilities issue fixed by providing correct perf or frequency values while driver loading.

If CPPC capabilities are not defined in the ACPI tables or wrongly defined by platform firmware, it needs to use quick to get those issues fixed with correct workaround values to make pstate driver can be loaded even though there are CPPC capabilities errors.

The workaround will match the broken BIOS which lack of CPPC capabilities nominal_freq and lowest_freq definition in the ACPI table.

In reply to Perry Yuan

The patch series adds some fixes and enhancements to the AMD pstate driver.

It enables CPPC v2 for certain processors in the family 17H, as requested by TR40 processor users who expect improved performance and lower system temperature.

changes latency and delay values to be read from platform firmware firstly
for more accurate timing.

A new quirk is introduced for supporting amd-pstate on legacy processors which either lack CPPC capability, or only only have CPPC v2 capability

Testing done with one APU system while cpb boost on:

amd_pstate_lowest_nonlinear_freq:1701000
amd_pstate_max_freq:3501000
cpuinfo_max_freq:3501000
cpuinfo_min_freq:400000
scaling_cur_freq:3084836

analyzing CPU 6:
driver: amd-pstate-epp
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 6
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 6 maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported. hardware limits: 400 MHz - 3.50 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 400 MHz and 3.50 GHz.
The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use within this range.
current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
current CPU frequency: 3.50 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
boost state support:
Supported: yes

AMD PSTATE Highest Performance: 255. Maximum Frequency: 3.50 GHz.
