[PATCH v10 0/7] AMD Pstate Driver Core Performance Boost

[Perry Yuan <perry.yuan@amd.com>]

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"


1) globally disable 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
  0    0      0    0 0:0:0:0          yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578
  1    0      0    1 1:1:1:0          yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578
  2    0      0    2 2:2:2:0          yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2583.855
  3    0      0    3 3:3:3:0          yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578
  4    0      0    4 4:4:4:0          yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578

2) globally enable 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
  1    0      0    1 1:1:1:0          yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
  2    0      0    2 2:2:2:0          yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
  3    0      0    3 3:3:3:0          yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
  4    0      0    4 4:4:4:0          yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578


============================================================================
The V9 patches add per CPU boost control, user can enable/disable CPUs boost
as the below command tested on a laptop system.

The patches have been tested with the AMD 7950X processor and many users
would like to get core boost control enabled for power saving.

 * rename global to amd_pstate_global_params(Oleksandr Natalenko)
 * remove comments for boot_supported in amd_pstate.h
 * fix the compiler warning for amd-pstate-ut.ko
 * 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.
