Hi all,
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

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

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.
If you would like to test this patchset, it needs to apply the patchset
based on below one latest version patchset.

Changes from v3:
* rebased to linux-pm/bleeding-edge v6.8
* rename global to amd_pstate_global_params(Oleksandr Natalenko)
* remove comments for boot_supported in amd_pstate.h

* use for_each_online_cpu in cpb_boost_store which fix the null pointer
error during testing
* 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
* Fixed some Doc typos and add guide mode info to Doc as well.

From: Perry Yuan <[email protected]>
With this new sysfs entry `cpb_boost`created, user can change CPU boost
state dynamically under `active`, `guided` and `passive` modes.
And the highest perf and frequency will also be updated as the boost
state changing.
0): check current boost state
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost
1): disable CPU boost
sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"
2): enable CPU boost
sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"

2.34.1
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.

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.

so it can remove the legacy set_boost interface from amd-pstate driver
in case of there is conflict with new boost control logic.

Can we move the definition of MSR_K7_HWCR_CPB_DIS from
drivers/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.h to msr-index.h and use it here ?
something like the following:

Could you please elaborate on the need for this new interface when
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost exists and is being used in the
other cpufreq driver namely the acpi-cpufreq driver ?
The semantics of this new interface seems to be identical to the
existing boost interface.
I am ok with the rest of the patch, but please explain the need for a
new interface.

The new cpb_boost can support all amd pstate modes including epp, guide,passive,
the old boost interface only support passive mode which leverage the cpufreq.c
Some customers request to add support for the boost control on epp/guide modes,
The legacy interface is not compatible with the new one, with new interface, it is more flexible
to add AMD specific control logic to the driver.
Meanwhile, putting the cpb_boost into the unified amd_pstate directory, it makes more sense to change
the feature state like status and prefer_core, there will be some other interfaces to be added.
So based on that, a new interface can work well and support customer request.

Why is the legacy boost control restricted only to the passive mode ?
Can we not add .set_boost to amd_pstate_set_boost in
amd_pstate_epp_driver ?

From the code in this patch, what you are trying to do is limit the
max_perf value to the minimum of the highest_perf and nominal_perf
when boost is disabled. A question : Why not unconditionally set the
max_perf to the nominal_perf ?
