Subject: [PATCH v8 0/8] 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.

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.

If someone would like to test this patchset, it would need to apply
another patchset on top of this in case of some unexpected issue found.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
It implements the amd pstate cpb boost feature
the below patch link is old version, please apply the latest version
while you start the testing work.

I would greatly appreciate any feedbacks.


Thank you!


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
* v7 Patch 2/6 was dropped which is not needed any more
* moved the quirk check to the amd_pstate_get_freq() function
* pick up RB flags from Gautham
* After the cleanup in patch 3, we don't need the helpers
amd_get_{min,max,nominal,lowest_nonlinear}_freq(). This
patch removes it [New Patch].
* testing done on APU system as well, no regression found.

Changes from v6:
* add one new patch to initialize capabilities in
amd_pstate_init_perf which can avoid duplicate cppc capabilities read
the change has been tested on APU system.
* pick up RB flags from Gautham
* drop the patch 1/6 which has been merged by Rafael

Changes from v5:
* rebased to linux-pm v6.8
* pick up RB flag from for patch 6(Mario)

Changes from v4:
* improve the dmi matching rule with zen2 flag only

Changes from v3:
* change quirk matching broken BIOS with family/model ID and Zen2
flag to fix the CPPC definition issue
* fix typo in quirk

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

Subject: [PATCH v8 3/8] cpufreq: amd-pstate: Unify computation of {max,min,nominal,lowest_nonlinear}_freq

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.

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.

Subject: [PATCH v8 5/8] cpufreq: amd-pstate: Bail out if min/max/nominal_freq is 0

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.

Subject: [PATCH v8 6/8] cpufreq: amd-pstate: get transition delay and latency value from ACPI tables

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.

Subject: [PATCH v8 8/8] cpufreq: amd-pstate: Add quirk for the pstate CPPC capabilities missing

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.

There are missing changelogs and S-o-b tags in a few messages in this series.

Overall, I would like someone, preferably at AMD, to take
responsibility for the amd-pstate driver, review patches modifying it
and ACK the approved ones.

Huang Rui, who is listed in MAINTAINERS as the official maintainer of
it, does not seem to be interested in it any more.

Can this be addressed, please?

Hi Rafael,

Sorry, I was occupied by other task a couple of months ago. I will talk
with AMD colleagues and figure out the way to make sure the amd-pstate
patches will be actively reviewed and tested. Will give you the feedback.
