Cover letter [PATCH v13 0/9] AMD Pstate Driver Core Performance Boost

Hi all,

This patch series implements the Core Performance Boost (CPB) feature for the AMD pstate driver, including support for passive, guided, and active modes.

Users can change the global core frequency boost control with a new sysfs entry:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost

It also supports updating the individual CPU boost state in the sysfs boost file:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/boost

By default, the global control will override the individual CPU boost state.

1) disable core boost globally:

$ sudo bash -c "echo "disabled" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost
disabled
$ lscpu -ae

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost

Changes from v6:
* reword patch 2 commit log (Gautham)
* update cover letter description(Gautham)

* rework the patchset base on [PATCH v8 0/8] AMD Pstate Fixes And Enhancements which has some intial work done there.

Changes from v4:
* move MSR_K7_HWCR_CPB_DIS_BIT into msr-index.h
* pick RB flag from Gautham R. Shenoy
* add Cc Oleksandr Natalenko <[email protected]>
* rebase to latest linux-pm/bleeding-edge branch
* rebase the patch set on top of [PATCH v7 0/6] AMD Pstate Fixes And Enhancements
* update [PATCH v7 2/6] to use MSR_K7_HWCR_CPB_DIS_BIT

Changes from v3:
* rebased to linux-pm/bleeding-edge v6.8
* rename global to amd_pstate_global_params(Oleksandr Natalenko)

* fix the max frequency value to be KHz when cpb boost disabled(Gautham R. Shenoy)

Changes from v2:
* move global struct to amd-pstate.h
* fix the amd-pstate-ut with new cpb control interface

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
