[PATCH 0/3] Add support for hidden choices to platform_profile

[PATCH 0/3] Add support for hidden choices to platform_profile

[Mario Limonciello]

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

When two drivers provide platform profile handlers but use different
strings to mean (essentially) the same thing the legacy interface won't
export them because it only shows profiles common to multiple drivers.

This causes an unexpected behavior to people who have upgraded from an
earlier kernel because if multiple drivers have bound platform profile
handlers they might not be able to access profiles they were expecting.

Introduce a concept of a "hidden choice" that drivers can register and
the platform profile handler code will utilize when using the legacy
interface.

There have been some other attempts at solving this issue in other ways.
This serves as an alternative to those attempts.

[PATCH 1/3] ACPI: platform_profile: Add support for hidden choices

[Mario Limonciello]

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

When two drivers don't support all the same profiles the legacy interface
only exports the common profiles.

This causes problems for cases where one driver uses low-power but another
uses quiet because the result is that neither is exported to sysfs.

To allow two drivers to disagree, add support for "hidden choices".
Hidden choices are platform profiles that a driver supports to be
compatible with the platform profile of another driver.

[PATCH 2/3] platform/x86/amd: pmf: Add 'quiet' to hidden choices

[Mario Limonciello]

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

When amd-pmf and asus-wmi are both bound no low power option shows
up in sysfs.  Add a hidden choice for amd-pmf to support 'quiet' mode
to let both bind.

[PATCH 3/3] platform/x86/amd: pmf: Add balanced-performance to hidden choices

[Mario Limonciello]

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

Acer's WMI driver uses balanced-performance but AMD-PMF doesn't.
In case a machine binds with both drivers let amd-pmf use
balanced-performance as well.

LGTM. Although patch is a bit more complicated.

I do not have time to test this today. I can try tomorrow.

The patches are all good - but my question is do we really need the whole hidden implementation bit?

If the options are not hidden, and someone chooses quiet or balanced-performance for the amd-pmf driver - does it really matter that it's going to do the same as low-power or performance?

So, same feedback as I had for Antheas's patches. I understand why this is being proposed but for me it is making things unnecessarily complicated.

My personal vote remains that the amd_pmf driver carries the superset to keep everyone happy (sorry - it sucks to be the CPU vendor that has to play nice with everyone).

Well so the problem with having all of them is specifically what happens 
when "only" amd-pmf is bound?

If you advertise both "low power" and "quiet" it's really confusing to 
userspace what the difference is.

The fact that it's actually 100% the same brings me to my personal 
opinion on all of this.  Although I spent time writing up this series to 
do it this way my "preference" is that we permanently alias "low power" 
and "quiet" to one another and update all drivers to use "low power" 
instead.

Granted that doesn't help the case of balance-performance being hidden 
that Antheas mentioned for acer-wmi and legion-wmi but I don't know 
serious of a problem that actually is.

Hi Mark,
So I agree with Mario here on that. I actually made the patch you
suggested last Sunday [1].

But then I looked at it and thought to myself that I can't ship this,
so I did a v2, which is what I sent on Tuesday.

My priority here is to not disrupt the existing ABI with 6.14. This
would allow extending this discussion by a couple of weeks, so a more
permanent solution can be found.

If that would be the case, perhaps my patch series is more preferable
as, since it is smaller, it would be cleaner to revert.

My suggestion is actually more drastic than what you linked.  It's that 
we make a change in the core to special case the aliased strings, and 
then adjust all in-tree drivers to pick one or the other.

Ah - I guess you get platforms without profile support where amd-pmf is the only thing. I hadn't considered that.

FWIW, I believe we (Lenovo) have both low power and quiet on Windows...and they really don't make much difference (which is why the thermal team didn't do them both on Linux). 
I don't know if Windows users are more or less confused (or maybe they've just abandoned all hope and are migrating to Linux...)

You have a better feeling as to how many issues you'll get raised if they behave the same, and have to support a wider ecosystem, so I'm happy to be over-ruled. I just wanted to wave my flag that I think the driver is getting too complicated. I'm slightly dreading having to debug customer issues at this point.

Guaranteed if you do that some vendor will have something that differentiates.

I can see having a 'use as much power as possible without needing fans' for quiet, and 'make the battery last as long as humanely possible whilst keeping the system usable' mode for low-power. Don't think anyone has done it...but they could.

I really have to go play with this on the Legion-Go. I need a time-machine.....

Everything seems to be working as intended. I applied these patches on
top of my lenovo-wmi series modified to always show
balanced-performance and with quiet as the lowest profile. Testing was
done on the Legion Go.
Results:

$ cat /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile_choices
quiet balanced balanced-performance performance
$ for f in *; do cat $f/name; cat $f/choices; done;
lenovo-wmi-gamezone

This approach works really well for the PMF driver because the
profile_get callback retrieves the raw profile that the profile_set
callback cached. However this is not the case for quite a few drivers,
which usually just retrieve the current profile from WMI for example.

This means that writing a profile to the legacy platform_profile
attribute, which a driver has selected as a "hidden choice" may result
in the operation succeeding, but if the user were to immediately read
from platform_profile it would display "custom", because the profiles
for different handlers may be unsynchronized.

This makes me wonder if the added complexity this patch brings, is
really worth it.

IMHO we should do what Armin suggested in the patch proposed by Antheas.
In fact, I would suggest an even simpler version:

  1. The legacy platform_profile_choices should aggregate `choices`
     with bitmap_or instead of bitmap_and. i.e. It should display all
     available choices
  2. When writing a profile to the legacy platform_profile, if a handler
     doesn't support it, we simply ignore it without failing and
     continue to the next

I believe this works well with power-profiles-daemon, but I'm not
entirely sure. Maybe you know more about it.

This of course has the problem that profiles would be unsync and
platform_profile might display "custom" immediately after setting a
profile, but this patch has the same "issue".

For me this "custom" issue, is not really an issue. The legacy interface
should be deprecated in favor of the class interface, and new/old
user-space tools should use/migrate to that instead.

Let me know what you think!

I guess we need to think about how many other drivers would really need 
hidden choices added.

Is it just PMF?

I don't really like that profiles can get out of sync, this is asking 
for a non-deterministic behavior that can be difficult to diagnose 
issues and also difficult for userspace to work with.

I agree with Mario here. Imagine two drivers, one with low-power and
one with quiet. They both begin at performance.

Then, userspace software gets confused (incl. ppd) and sets firmware
profile to low-power. The latter gets left in performance, causing
excess drain.

I do not believe the legacy interface should be deprecated. Right now,
amd-pmf is a NOOP in most devices so there is actually 0 reason for
generic power handlers to move to the new API. Just extra work. So
lets make sure the legacy endpoint works properly for the foreseeable
future.

Also, when power handlers start moving to the new interface, they will
hardcode choices based on the name. As they should. TDP needs to be
customized per device/manufacturer. So moving handlers between
low-power and quiet will not be possible.

@Mario: I do not have a device with an amd-pmf integration. All of
mine have stub handlers. I would expect that a properly configured pmf

I understand your intent, but can you please explicitly type out your

"Most" devices is not accurate.  There are a lot of devices that it does 
enable.  In the gaming space right now it's often behaving as a no-op.

"Power mode" is a concept, it doesn't just apply to configuring sPPT and 
fPPT.  I envisage that a vendor that actively uses PMF and their own 
interface would be changing different things by the different interfaces.

For "example" PMF may reconfigure sPPT, fPPT, STT and STAPM but their 
driver may notify their EC to change a fan curve.

If we really end up with a situation that vendor interface and PMF do 
the same thing we can cross that bridge then.

That would be a fair description. Can you give some examples of
devices that use the interface? Devices with and without vendor
software.

No. If PMF changes these values it also needs to change the fan curve
itself via the BIOS notification. Doing otherwise would lead to
situations where users do not install the vendor driver and cook their
device. So I expect that when PMF controls things it controls
everything. I would expect if vendors fallback to the pmf firmware
notifications while also providing vendor software there would be some
synergy between them, such as changing which fan preset is selected by
the PMF interface.

Off hand the Framework 13 and 16 AMD both use PMF exclusively.  So do a 
bunch of HP commercial laptops.

Mark can keep me honest, but I want to say the Strix Thinkpad laptops 
have both PMF and vendor interface (thinkpad-acpi).

Fan curves are just that; curves.  They just control how quickly fans 
ramp up not whether or not they "work".

But in any case; that's a firmware issue not a platform profile design 
issue.

I can't control what vendors do; it's their decision how to manage their 
systems.  All I can do is provide infrastructure to help.

Hm, yeah that would be interesting to hear about

The APU reaches a similar temperature (Tctl) across a wide TDP range,
so temperature cannot be used on its own to determine fan speed.
Manufacturers that provide different fan curves depending on the TDP
mode usually cap the maximum fan speed on low TDPs. So you can get
funny situations where the device is set to 30W, but the fan runs as
if its using 10W leading to thermal soaking. So it is very important
for those to be inline.

It would be a hypothetical scenario. I do not expect such a device to exist.

This was more of my intuition of how I would expect amd-pmf
integration to be done in Windows where one of the drivers might be
missing.

Since only thinkpads are expected to do both, perhaps Mark can check
out how they work. I have a thinkpad that is 11th gen intel.
