[Rene Rebe]

Dear Meng Li and team,

thank you so much for working on finally bringing AMD preferred core
scheduling to mainline Linux!

> The initial core rankings are set up by AMD Pstate when the

I tested this patch on our Ryzen 7950x and 5950x systems and could
unfortunatlely not find any performance differences. I therefore took
a closer look and as far as I can tell the conditional for the initial
preferred performance priorities appears to be reversed. I marked them
down below. I also attached a patch for the fix. With that fixed I can
measure a 0.7% improvement compiling Firefox on 7950x. I wonder
slightly how this ever past testing before, ...

I think it would be a good idea to always expose the hw perf values in
sysfs to help users debugging hardware issues or BIOS settings even
with percore not enabled and therefore not using the unused 166 or 255
values anyway.

With that fixed, however, Linux is still not always scheduling to
preferred cores, but that appears to be an independant limitation of
the current linux scheduler not strictly using the priority for
scheduling, yet. With manual taskset guidance I could further improve
the Firefox build time by some more seconds to over 1% overall
performance improvement, if the linux scheudler would more reliably
schedule minute long running rust lto link tasks to the preferred
cores and not some mediocre ones.

I will add a new sysfs attribute for the highest performance of preferred core.

The highest_perf is used to calculate the frequency value.
The values between 166 and 255 represent priority, not the highest perf.

[PATCH V4 0/7] AMD Pstate Preferred Core

[Meng Li]

Hi all:

The core frequency is subjected to the process variation in semiconductors.
Not all cores are able to reach the maximum frequency respecting the
infrastructure limits. Consequently, AMD has redefined the concept of
maximum frequency of a part. This means that a fraction of cores can reach
maximum frequency. To find the best process scheduling policy for a given
scenario, OS needs to know the core ordering informed by the platform through
highest performance capability register of the CPPC interface.

Earlier implementations of AMD Pstate Preferred Core only support a static
core ranking and targeted performance. Now it has the ability to dynamically
change the preferred core based on the workload and platform conditions and
accounting for thermals and aging.

AMD Pstate driver utilizes the functions and data structures provided by
the ITMT architecture to enable the scheduler to favor scheduling on cores
which can be get a higher frequency with lower voltage.
We call it AMD Pstate Preferrred Core.

Here sched_set_itmt_core_prio() is called to set priorities and
sched_set_itmt_support() is called to enable ITMT feature.
AMD Pstate driver uses the highest performance value to indicate
the priority of CPU. The higher value has a higher priority.

AMD Pstate driver will provide an initial core ordering at boot time.
It relies on the CPPC interface to communicate the core ranking to the
operating system and scheduler to make sure that OS is choosing the cores
with highest performance firstly for scheduling the process. When AMD Pstate
driver receives a message with the highest performance change, it will
update the core ranking.

[PATCH V4 3/7] cpufreq: amd-pstate: Enable AMD Pstate Preferred Core Supporting.

[Meng Li]

AMD Pstate driver utilizes the functions and data structures
provided by the ITMT architecture to enable the scheduler to
favor scheduling on cores which can be get a higher frequency
with lower voltage. We call it AMD Pstate Preferrred Core.

Here sched_set_itmt_core_prio() is called to set priorities and
sched_set_itmt_support() is called to enable ITMT feature.
AMD Pstate driver uses the highest performance value to indicate
the priority of CPU. The higher value has a higher priority.

The initial core rankings are set up by AMD Pstate when the
system boots.

Add device attribute for preferred core states.

Add one new early parameter `enable` to allow user to
enable the preferred core if the processor and power
firmware can support preferred core feature.

You know, the prefercore is a hardware capacity, so we should have a way to
detect current processor whether it's supported. E.X. whether we can read
highest_perf value is AMD_PSTATE_PREFCORE_THRESHOLD or less than
AMD_PSTATE_MAX_CPPC_PERF, then set the prefcore enabled.

[Meng, Li (Jassmine)]
Yes, you are right.
Here we only provide an interface for users to disable preferred core.
Default platform enables preferred core if HW supports this feature.

When HW doesn't support this feature, the variable "prefcore" will be set false.
Only when Hw support preferred core and users set "enable", , the variable "prefcore" will be set true.
