Subject: [PATCH 4/6] ACPI: CPPC: Refactor boost ratio handling
Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 22:55:18 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427035520.1427080-5-superm1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427035520.1427080-1-superm1@kernel.org>
Rename amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator() to amd_get_effective_highest_perf()
to better reflect that it returns the effective highest performance value
for a CPU, accounting for preferred cores and heterogeneous topologies.
Add a new helper amd_get_boost_ratio() for doing both for boost
ratio calculations and update callers to use it.
This refactoring is needed because on some AMD systems (Zen6+),
the boost ratio should be calculated from frequency values rather than
performance values.
