Manual PST settings for "unrecognized CPUs"

Manual PST settings for "unrecognized CPUs"

[GoatZilla]

OK, I guess I'll go ahead and jump on the sword here, as I'm sure I'm
not the only one wondering this.

I have a desktop Duron that I've closed off the L5 mobile bridge on,
and unlocked two L6 bridges so I can set the SoftFID back up to at
least startup value.  My intent is actually to underclock the CPU to
reduce power/heat.

I've tested the changes with Windows and CPUMSR, and it works really
well, aside from my inability to change the SoftVID due to lack of
motherboard support.  Oh, I'm using a regular desktop motherboard.

Anyways, now I'd like to attempt the same thing with Linux.  

I'm sure my configuration is going to be completely unrecognized, and
even if it was, I'm not so sure any PST's would come up.  So I guess
I'm going to have to add it in myself.

I saw a patch fly by a short while ago where a user added some
settings for an unrecognized config.  Is this the only way to hack in
a PST?

Actually there were (at least) two patches - Bruno's patch which
implemented additional /proc fs entries to send frequency settings to, and
mine which uses command line parameters for the powernow-k7 module. You can
find them in the ML archive. Internally, they do basically the same thing.
Mine is a little inferior as far as sanity checks. But It Works For Me
[TM]. 

Please be advised that you _could_ potentially fry your CPU if you use them
:-) But IMHO it's quite unlikely. 

What these patches can't do is set the VID on most (?) desktop boards
because of a lack of hardware support. But you should be able to lower the
FID to a certain extent, and the power consumption is linearly proportional
to the frequency, after all.

Mine is a little bit too old btw, and I guess yours should be used
instead for now..

Re: Manual PST settings for "unrecognized CPUs"

Ah, I just found your patch back in June; looks like good stuff.  I'll
give it a try when I get Linux onto my machine.

It's odd that you couldn't get below 9x on the multipliers.  With
CPUMSR I was able to take my Duron all the way down to 3x (I
underclocked the FSB as well to 100MHz).  The curious thing was it was
stable at 3x, locked up at 4x, and was stable again at 5x.  I would
think the core voltage that runs the CPU at full speed should be
acceptable at the lower speeds.

As far as the max FID is concerned, you've probably figured it out by
now, but the max FID that can be set by software is controlled by the
L6 bridges on the CPU package.

RE: Manual PST settings for "unrecognized CPUs"

[Davin Carter]

I was able to get a Mobile Athlon 2400 down to ~300 MHZ (the lowest
multiplier) without any problem.  Unfortuantely, my core voltage is 1.44
volts, there did not seem to be any power savings below 1000 MHZ with my
machine.

Well I'm using it right now on a SUSE 9.1 2.6.5-7.104-default
kernel, together with cpufreqd. Works perfectly fine. The sanity checks
that are missing from the code are presently in my head ... 

Actually I would like to try to mod my board somehow (being an
EE I am not too shy modding stuff :-) in order to change VIDs too. The
A7V8X is infamous for not supporting Vcore < 1.5V which is bad per se. If
I only knew what actually happens electrically-wise when setting the
VIDs. Do CPU pins change their logical level? Any insight is appreciated.

Please give me some feedback as to the usability etc. Further patches, etc. 

> It's odd that you couldn't get below 9x on the multipliers.  With

I suspect it's the Vcore - although I admit it sounds strange. But I can
see no other reason. My Asus A7V8X can't go below 1.5V nominal so I can't
test it for now without modding my board for undervoltage. I'd appreciate
hearing from folks who have boards that can go further down. The URL in the
patch can give a clue which VID corresponds to FID=533M or something.

Yup... for those willing to put their machine on risk,
http://fab51.com/index-e.html is an excellent source of information. 

After all, this is quite useful even for servers that run idle most of
the time and need sheer CPU power only occassionally, like LinVDR servers
(which is exactly what I intend to do).

Are you saying you could get ~300 MHz with 1.44V? Hmmm - interesting. What
board is it? 

After all power consumption goes linear with clock, and by square with
Vcore.

OK, I just installed Linux on the machine and patched 2.6.8
successfully, but I'm getting a a "No such device" because the
powernow_decode_bios routine never finds the "PSB Header".  I have no
idea what a PSB header even is.

Do I need to fake the PSB header information as well?  Or is there a
simpler way around this?


I also attached the dump of x86info.  I'm not sure why it's telling me
FID changes won't work; it's looking at some FIDC bit in an MSR... 
This wouldn't affect cpufreq would it?
