v3 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.

Additionally, it fixes the initialization of nominal_freq for each cpudata
and changes latency and delay values to be read from platform firmware firstly
for more accurate timing.

A new quirk is also added for legacy processors that lack CPPC capabilities which caused the pstate driver to fail loading.

I would greatly appreciate any feedbacks.

Thank you!

Changes from v2:
* change quirk matching to BIOS version and release (Mario)
* pick up RB flag from Mario

Changes from v1:
* pick up the RB flags from Mario
* address review comment of patch #6 for amd_get_nominal_freq()
* rebased the series to linux-pm/bleeding-edge v6.8.0-rc2
* update debug log for patch #5 as Mario suggested.
* fix some typos and format problems
* tested on 7950X platform

PATCH v3 1/6 ACPI: CPPC: enable AMD CPPC V2 support for family 17h processors

As there are some AMD processors which only support CPPC V2 firmware and BIOS implementation, the amd_pstate driver will be failed to load when system booting with below kernel warning message:

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

To make the amd_pstate driver can be loaded on those TR40 processors, it needs to match x86_model from 0x30 to 0x7F for family 17H. With the change, the system can load amd_pstate driver as expected.

PATCH v3 2/6 cpufreq:amd-pstate: fix the nominal freq value set

In reply to Perry Yuan

Address an untested error where the nominal_freq was returned in KHz instead of the correct MHz units, this oversight led to a wrong nominal_freq set and resued, it will cause the max frequency of core to be initialized with a wrong frequency value.

Fixes ec437d71db7 ("cpufreq: amd-pstate: Introduce a new AMD P-State driver to support future processors")

PATCH v3 3/6 cpufreq:amd-pstate: initialize nominal_freq of each cpudata

In reply to Perry Yuan

Optimizes the process of retrieving the nominal frequency by utilizing 'cpudata->nominal_freq' instead of repeatedly accessing the cppc_acpi interface.

To enhance efficiency and reduce the CPU load, shifted to using 'cpudata->nominal_freq'. It allows for the nominal frequency to be accessed directly from the cached data in 'cpudata' of each CPU.
It will also slightly reduce the frequency change latency while using pstate driver passive mode.

PATCH v3 4/6 cpufreq:amd-pstate: get pstate 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 v3 5/6 cppc_acpi: print error message if CPPC is unsupported

In reply to Perry Yuan

to be more clear what is wrong with CPPC when pstate driver failed to load which has dependency on the CPPC capabilities.

Add one more debug message to notify user if CPPC is not supported by the CPU, then it will be easy to find out what need to fix for pstate driver loading issue.

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

Above message is not clear enough to verify whether CPPC is not supported.

PATCH v3 6/6 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.

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.

I think this is incorrect, and there should be a comma "," instead of semicolon ";" at the end of the string. Otherwise the build will fail.

Good catch, I made a mistake here, I found this after I sent it out, have it fixed in V4. Thanks for the review.

Perry.

I'm still wondering if this is the right level of narrowness. Does the quirk only apply to a single BIOS vendor? Or any other sysfs attributes that can be generic to all affected systems?

Also would it perhaps make sense to rename dmi_matched to dmi_matched_7k62_bios_bug and then in dmi_matched_7k62_bios_bug check the model/family match. In that function you can only set quirks = dmi->driver_data

If the right CPU applies then too.
