This series fixes correctness and robustness issues found while reviewing
the CPPC control path. They affect malformed _CPC handling, error
propagation, PCC ownership and cleanup, CPC object lifetime, register field
access, cross-processor aliases, and Performance Limited clearing.
Series structure
================
Patches 1-8 are deliberately small, independently useful fixes. They
validate the _CPC encoding consumed by cppc-acpi, propagate control-write
errors, serialize PCC payload updates, correct 64-bit field masks, and fix
descriptor and PCC lifetime handling.
Patches 9-15 are the register-layout hardening portion. Geometry validation
is more substantial because safe RMW and alias handling depend on the
physical access unit, not merely on a logical _CPC entry or _PSD domain.
These patches normalize and validate each supported address space before
building probe-only physical interval registries. Keeping this work in the
same posting gives the complete safety boundary and a single base for
review, while each transport and bug retains its own Fixes provenance.
Feel free to treat the two parts as independent series, I didn't split it
because they're all technically fixes and to get Sashiko review for the
whole lot.
No interval lookup is added to the scheduler hot path. Full-width
SystemMemory writes remain lockless. RMW locking remains necessary only for
a partial field, where we must preserve the other bits in its access
unit. The existing per-descriptor raw lock continues to cover disjoint
partial fields within one _CPC package; probe rejects cross-descriptor
layouts that it cannot protect.
Parsing and control semantics
=============================
The parser now validates the package header before indexing it, bounds the
BYTE and DWORD Integer forms before conversion, and validates the Generic
Register descriptor consumed by cppc-acpi. NumEntries may not exceed the
AML package count, but additional trailing package elements are ignored
because doing so is safe and preserves compatibility with padded firmware.
The parser likewise tolerates trailing ResourceTemplate data instead of
imposing a new EndTag compatibility requirement.
Capability values read from registers must also fit the u32 fields exposed
to CPPC callers. Reject wider values instead of truncating them, which could
otherwise turn Highest Performance into a zero divisor.
Writable controls must be Buffer-encoded registers. Minimum and Maximum
Performance are checked as the pair required by ACPI 6.6 Sections
8.4.6.1.2.1 and 8.4.6.1.2.2. Object presence is kept separate from the
Integer-zero convention for absent optional fields, so Lowest Performance
may retain the valid abstract value zero.
Performance Limited is one deliberate compatibility exception. ACPI lists
it as required, but permits a platform with no limiting indication to
always return zero, and deployed firmware represents that case with a NULL
descriptor. CPPC control does not depend on this status register, so we
continue to accept that encoding. A present _CPC package which otherwise
fails parsing or initialization now emits an error instead of silently
preventing cpufreq registration.
Compound performance and EPP updates propagate errors and perform every
fallible non-PCC write before modifying the PCC payload. Updates across
address spaces cannot be atomic, but a known non-PCC failure can no longer
commit only the PCC portion or leave an unsent value for a later command.
All requested PCC fields are validated before the first payload store, so
a malformed later field cannot leave an earlier value for a subsequent
doorbell to commit. Writable Minimum and Maximum Performance controls are
programmed even when their requested value is zero, because zero can be a
valid abstract performance level rather than an omitted update.
SystemMemory locking and support boundary
=========================================
A partial SystemMemory field requires RMW to preserve the rest of its
access unit. Commit 60949b7b8054 ("ACPI: CPPC: Fix MASK_VAL() usage") used
a per-_CPC lock and noted that a global lock would be needed if physical
registers were shared between packages.
ACPI does not make _PSD a physical-register ownership boundary. Rather than
put a global raw lock or lookup into the scheduler path, this series makes
the cheaper per-descriptor model's assumptions enforceable at probe.
Supported SystemMemory layouts are:
- naturally aligned 8-, 16-, 32-, and 64-bit access units;
- lockless full-width controls;
- read-only aliases;
- exact writable aliases, including partial aliases of the same logical
field, when the complete access is one aligned native transaction;
- disjoint partial writers within one descriptor, serialized by its
rmw_lock, when neither must preserve another write-only field; and
- a partial writer sharing an access unit with a disjoint read-only
field, except Performance Limited.
Probe rejects overlapping logical fields involving a writer, another field
inside a full-width writable access unit, non-identical cross-descriptor
partial writers, writers sharing Performance Limited's access unit, writers
which would preserve a write-only neighbour, unaligned accesses, and exact
writable 64-bit aliases on 32-bit kernels. These layouts were not safely
supported by the old per-descriptor lock or generic writeq(); rejecting them
turns possible corruption into a visible probe failure rather than removing
working support.
PCC access and locking
======================
The PCC protocol requires OSPM to acquire the subspace before changing its
command or payload. Single-register and EPP updates now hold pcc_lock
across ownership acquisition, payload staging, and command submission.
Concurrent Phase-I callers intentionally store the same true value to the
pending-command flag under the shared side of pcc_lock, so that store uses
WRITE_ONCE(); transitions back to false remain exclusively locked.
ACPI 6.6's implementation example places a mandatory 32-bit Delivered
Performance Counter at unaligned PCC offset 0x116. Performance controls may
also use byte-multiple widths such as 24 bits. PCC therefore uses
byte-oriented I/O with explicit little-endian encoding for zero-offset,
byte-multiple fields from 8 through 64 bits. A short per-subspace payload
lock protects concurrent aliased copies made under the shared side of
pcc_lock; it does not replace the protocol ownership lock.
Bit-level PCC fields require RMW and remain unsupported. An unsupported
optional field is marked absent, but a present inaccessible CPPC Enable
fails probe because OSPM must write it before using CPPC. Thus the
ACPI-legal one-bit CPPC Enable used by the specification example is a
documented kernel limitation. The old accessor could not program it
correctly either, so an explicit error is safer than silently proceeding
without enabling CPPC.
Every retained PCC field is bounds checked against the shared-memory
region. A subspace-keyed interval registry permits read-only overlap and
exact same-control aliases while rejecting every other writable overlap
across processors. A lifecycle mutex serializes allocation, reference
updates, first channel setup, and teardown of each shared PCC object.
SystemIO support boundary
=========================
SystemIO supports Bit Offset zero, naturally aligned, full 8-, 16-, or
32-bit accesses ending at or below port 0xffff, including legacy Access
Size zero when Bit Width supplies the size. Partial fields never worked
because the driver neither shifted them nor preserved adjacent bits, so
they now fail visibly instead of being misprogrammed.
On kernels without CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT, SystemIO entries are rejected or
disabled according to the affected control's semantics. Runtime accessors
also return -EOPNOTSUPP rather than treating an I/O port as a
physical-memory address. A global port interval registry rejects
cross-processor writable overlap.
Write-only and Performance Limited controls
===========================================
Between _CPC revisions 3 and 4, Desired Performance changed from
Read/Write to Write, and revision 4 added write-only OSPM Nominal
Performance. ACPI 6.6 Section 4.6.3 says reads from write-only positions
are undefined. Explicit reads of both controls are rejected. Partial
SystemMemory fields remain writable because RMW replaces every bit of the
field and therefore does not propagate its undefined readback, provided no
other writer shares the access unit and would preserve that field.
Performance Limited is sticky, write-zero-to-clear, and requires
interlocked accesses under ACPI 6.6 Section 8.4.6.1.3.2. The old separate
read and write could clear a new event reported between transactions. The
clear path now writes zero only to requested status bits and one to the
other defined bits. Partial SystemMemory forms remain readable but cannot
be cleared because a spinlock cannot interlock an enclosing RMW with
platform updates. Probe also rejects another writable field sharing its
access unit. QWord forms cannot be used on 32-bit kernels, where the MMIO
accessor may be split into two 32-bit operations; naturally aligned,
full-width QWords remain supported on 64-bit kernels. Since CPPC control
does not depend on Performance Limited status, an unreadable description
marks status access unsupported instead of rejecting the processor's
otherwise usable _CPC. Its physical range remains visible to overlap
validation so another writer cannot evade the status-register conflict.
Lifetime and cleanup
====================
CPC descriptors are released through their kobject callback, keeping their
storage and mappings alive for outstanding sysfs references. Every PCC
allocation, reference, and acquired channel is unwound on probe failure,
and the per-CPU PCC index is initialized before every early return. PCC
allocation uses a separate temporary result, so its success cannot turn a
later parse failure into a successful probe return. Shared PCC allocation,
reference updates, channel initialization, and teardown are serialized. A
repeated processor start reuses an already published descriptor instead of
resetting its PCC index and leaking or detaching the existing state.
Changes since v5
================
- Kept Lowest Performance zero valid while starting the arm64 artificial
energy model at its first positive capacity step, and made every
present _CPC initialization failure emit the common CPU/errno
diagnostic.
- Checked completion of a preceding PCC command before writing the direct
half of a mixed-address-space performance request.
- Coalesced exact SystemMemory aliases behind one interval-tree node and
promoted a live alias on teardown, avoiding quadratic probe work on
large systems. Also skipped registry allocations for descriptors with
no entries in the corresponding address space.
- Stopped treating unused Performance Reduction Tolerance and Time Window
entries as writers, and retained disjoint fields when a narrower
full-width write cannot touch the overlapping read-only access unit.
- Preserved inaccessible write-only controls in physical overlap
validation, and tested whether the other writer's access unit actually
covers the write-only field before rejecting an asymmetric layout.
- Restricted writable PCC controls to their DWORD width, coherently
disabled an inaccessible Minimum/Maximum pair, and ordered PCC payload
bytes against completion and doorbell accesses.
- Classified a SystemMemory field as writable during overlap validation
only when both its _CPC semantics and validated access permit writes.
This keeps partial Performance Limited status fields shareable after
their unsafe clear path has been disabled, while still rejecting an
actual writer sharing the status access unit.
- Preserved an inaccessible 64-bit Performance Limited physical range on
32-bit kernels while marking reads and writes unsupported, so a
neighbouring writer remains detectable without mapping a split access.
Changes since v4
================
- Validated all requested PCC control widths before the first payload
store, preventing a later malformed field from leaving an earlier
staged value for a subsequent doorbell to commit.
- Marked the intentional concurrent same-value pending-command store with
WRITE_ONCE().
- Serialized shared PCC allocation, reference updates, channel setup, and
teardown, and published channel readiness only after initializing its
lock and wait queue.
- Rejected another writable field sharing a SystemMemory access unit with
a write-only field, because its RMW would preserve and replay undefined
readback.
- Rejected capability values which do not fit the u32 interface instead
of allowing truncation and a possible zero divisor.
- Programmed writable Minimum and Maximum Performance controls when the
requested value is zero, which is valid when Lowest Performance is zero.
- Reused an existing CPC descriptor on a repeated processor start instead
of resetting its PCC index before a retry could fail.
Changes since v3
================
- Allowed partial SystemMemory Desired and OSPM Nominal controls when RMW
discards their undefined readback, supporting NVIDIA's separate 9-bit
controls in _CPC revision 4.
- Reported an unavailable Desired Performance control as unsupported from
the common getter instead of returning a synthetic zero.
- Required natural alignment for SystemIO access units, preventing faults
on architectures which implement port I/O through Device-memory MMIO.
- Kept partial Performance Limited fields readable but not clearable,
rejected another writer sharing their access unit, reported fully
inaccessible forms as unsupported instead of returning a synthetic
zero, and consolidated each nonfatal fallback into a single warning.
Changes since v2
================
- Relaxed the exact NumEntries/package-count match to tolerate safe
trailing package elements while still rejecting any count that could
cause an out-of-bounds walk.
- Made patch 10 independently preserve immutable-autonomous setups whose
inaccessible Desired Performance register requires RMW, rather than
relying on patch 11 to restore that exception.
Sashiko v2 review not addressed
===============================
- Kept Guaranteed Performance Buffer-only. The suggestion was to accept a
nonzero Integer, but ACPI 6.6 Table 8.23 permits only a Buffer for this
entry.
Sashiko v4/v5 review requiring no code change
=============================================
- Kept nonzero Integers restricted to entries whose object type includes
Integer in ACPI 6.6 Table 8.23. Guaranteed Performance and Energy
Performance Preference are Buffer-only registers.
- Kept Desired Performance optional only when OSPM advertises CPPC2 and
Autonomous Selection Enable is encoded as Integer 1. ACPI 6.6 Section
8.4.6.1.2.3 explicitly requires that immutable encoding; a writable
Buffer does not qualify.
Deferred follow-up work
=======================
Sashiko also identified a broader pre-existing lifetime question which this
series does not attempt to solve. In-kernel accessors read the per-CPU
cpc_desc_ptr without acquiring a reference, while processor teardown can
unpublish and eventually release the descriptor and its PCC data. The
kobject change here fixes the concrete sysfs lifetime bug, but a NULL
pcc_data check would not protect a caller which already holds a stale
pointer. Closing this properly requires defining the kernel accessor
lifetime contract and then using CPU-hotplug serialization / safe
referencing across all callers, therefore will be handled by a follow-up.
ACPI-legal bit-level PCC and SystemIO fields also remain unsupported. In
particular, the ACPI example's one-bit PCC CPPC Enable register cannot be
implemented by the old whole-value accessors. Supporting these
descriptions requires transport-specific field extraction and an RMW
operation which obeys PCC ownership or safely preserves adjacent SystemIO
bits, just accepting the descriptors would silently program the wrong
value. Therefore continue to disable optional inaccessible fields where
safe and reject a present inaccessible CPPC Enable control.
Full support, if even needed, belongs in a separate follow-up.
The review additionally suggested validating the complete AML
ResourceTemplate, including its EndTag. We currently validate the Register
descriptor we consume and tolerate trailing firmware data. I don't really
see the point of ever doing this, but definitely not in this series,
where I'm trying to guarantee that no reasonably working platform is
regressing.

The _CPC NumEntries field includes every package element, including
NumEntries and Revision. acpi_cppc_processor_probe() nevertheless reads
those first two elements before checking that they exist and trusts
NumEntries when walking the remaining elements.
Reject packages with fewer than two elements and NumEntries values which
exceed the package count before accessing Revision or iterating over
register descriptors. Although the specification defines NumEntries as the
number of package elements, tolerate additional trailing elements because
ignoring them is safe and avoids rejecting padded firmware.
Revision is specified as a BYTE, but the parser assigns its 64-bit AML
Integer to an unsigned int before validating it. Reject values above U8_MAX
before conversion so, for example, 0x100000004 cannot truncate to revision
4.

Writable _CPC controls are Register descriptors encoded as Buffer objects.
Integer entries represent fixed values or unsupported optional registers;
Autonomous Selection Integer 1 is the special immutable form which enables
operation without Desired Performance.
The parser accepts arbitrary object types and cpc_write() assumes that its
argument contains a GAS. Malformed firmware can therefore make it interpret
an Integer union member as a register.
Validate the portion of each encoding consumed by the driver: bound Integer
DWORD forms to 32 bits, and require Buffer entries to start with a complete
Generic Register descriptor with the expected header. Continue tolerating
Integer 0 for an absent optional register and retain type checks in
cpc_write() as defense in depth. Reject an attempt to disable immutable
Autonomous Selection instead of silently applying only the EPP part of the
request.
Capability registers are read into u64 temporaries but exposed through u32
fields. Reject values above U32_MAX instead of allowing them to be
truncated. In particular, a truncated Highest Performance value can become
a zero divisor in the performance-to-frequency conversion. Enforce the
required ordering from Highest through Nominal, Lowest Nonlinear, and
Lowest Performance, and constrain a present Guaranteed Performance to the
inclusive Lowest-to-Nominal range. Also reject reversed frequency anchors
and unequal frequency anchors with identical performance anchors. Those
invalid tuples otherwise make affine-conversion differences wrap or divide
by zero.
Check mandatory object presence separately from the Integer-zero convention
for absent optional fields. ACPI does not reserve zero in the abstract
Lowest Performance scale, so accept a present Lowest Performance DWORD of
zero when distinct frequency anchors provide a usable nonzero physical
minimum. Retain the old rejection when that mapping is unavailable and the
fallback conversion would expose a 0 kHz cpufreq endpoint.
Minimum Performance also defines zero as a real no-limit value, but the
exported cppc_set_perf() interface historically used zero to omit a bound.
Add explicit validity flags so callers can request zero without changing
that legacy convention. Populate the flags when reading the controls and
mark the bounds supplied by amd-pstate explicitly.
Performance Limited is listed as a required Buffer, but the interface does
not depend on it to control performance and the specification permits a
platform with no limiting indication to always report zero. Preserve
the compatibility with firmware that represents that case using a NULL
register descriptor instead of disabling CPPC entirely.
Emit an error when a present _CPC package fails parsing or initialization
so such firmware and resource failures no longer silently suppress cpufreq.
Initialize malformed-package failures to -EINVAL and preserve specific
allocation, mapping, and unsupported-access errors in that diagnostic.

cppc_set_perf() can skip malformed controls, discard cpc_write() failures,
and report success without programming the requested performance tuple.
Return every control-write error to the caller and honor the explicit
Minimum and Maximum Performance validity flags, so an explicit zero remains
distinct from a legacy omitted bound. Validate every requested PCC field
before changing either a direct control or the shared payload; after that
check, PCC staging cannot fail partway through a tuple.
Keep the existing shared-lock batching for layouts whose writable
performance controls all use PCC. Multiple Phase-I callers may set the
pending flag to true while holding the shared side of pcc_lock. Mark that
intentional same-value store with WRITE_ONCE(); transitions back to false
remain protected by the exclusive side.
A layout which mixes PCC with directly accessed controls needs stronger
ordering. A fallible direct write cannot safely run alongside another CPU's
staged PCC tuple: if it fails after changing a direct register, neither
submitting nor discarding the shared batch can preserve the other request.
Serialize the complete mixed transaction with the exclusive PCC lock.
Drain an older pending batch before changing a direct control. Check the
preceding PCC command for completion, then program the direct and PCC
portions and submit the new command synchronously. Use the mixed-layout
synchronization even when the current request omits its PCC-backed bounds,
so a direct-only update cannot race a prior PCC command.
Purely direct layouts continue to avoid the PCC lock. Cross-address-space
updates cannot be atomic, but a known write failure no longer submits or
cancels a tuple staged by another caller.

MASK_VAL_READ() and MASK_VAL_WRITE() operate on u64 values but construct
their masks with GENMASK(), whose type is unsigned long. On 32-bit kernels
a field wider than 32 bits therefore produces an invalid shift or loses
its upper bits.
The Generic Address Structure permits QWord access units and the CPPC
accessors implement 64-bit MMIO reads and writes. Use GENMASK_ULL() in both
directions so the mask matches the value and supported access width on
every architecture.

The PCC doorbell protocol requires OSPM to confirm ownership of the shared
subspace before placing a command and its payload there.
cppc_set_reg_val_in_pcc() instead modifies the payload before taking
pcc_lock.
A concurrent command can consequently overwrite or consume the staged
value, and OSPM can write the shared region while the platform still owns
it.
Take the PCC write lock first, wait for the previous command to complete,
and keep the lock held while staging the value and submitting CMD_WRITE.
This follows the ownership sequence in ACPI 6.5 Section 14.5 and the
existing contract documented by send_pcc_cmd().
If ownership acquisition or staging fails, abort any older performance
batch before dropping the exclusive lock. This advances its generation and
wakes cppc_set_perf() callers which otherwise wait indefinitely for a
command this path did not submit.

cppc_set_epp_perf() stages Autonomous Selection and Energy Performance
Preference in the PCC shared region before taking pcc_lock. The platform
may still own the subspace, or a concurrent command may consume or
overwrite only part of the new payload.
Take the PCC write lock and wait for OSPM ownership before staging either
control. Keep the lock held until the complete payload has been submitted
with CMD_WRITE, so firmware cannot observe a mixed transaction.
For a mixed PCC/non-PCC description, complete every fallible non-PCC write
before staging PCC data. Cross-address-space updates cannot be atomic, but
a non-PCC failure can no longer leave an unsent value in shared memory for
a later PCC command to consume.
Classify every probe-validated writable control as either PCC or non-PCC.
This covers SystemIO along with FFH and SystemMemory and avoids repeating a
flexible-address-space _OSC decision that probe has already made.
If ownership acquisition or PCC staging fails, abort any older pending
performance batch before releasing the exclusive lock so its Phase-II
waiters receive the error instead of sleeping indefinitely.
This follows the PCC ownership sequence in ACPI 6.5 Section 14.5.

The CPC descriptor embeds the kobject used for its sysfs directory, but
it has no release callback and processor exit frees the descriptor
immediately after kobject_put(). It also unmaps register resources and
releases PCC state before sysfs removal has drained active attribute
callbacks.
Provide a release callback which unmaps and frees the descriptor, and use
the same cleanup helper before kobject initialization. Once initialized,
let kobject_put() own descriptor cleanup so its error path cannot free the
object twice.
On processor exit, first unpublish the per-CPU descriptor and remove its
sysfs directory, then release PCC state and drop the kobject reference.
This keeps all resources valid while sysfs callbacks are active and also
works with delayed kobject release.

pcc_data_alloc() takes a per-processor reference while parsing the first
PCC register. Every later probe failure currently frees the CPC descriptor
without dropping that reference. Depending on where probe fails, this
leaks an unacquired PCC object, an acquired mailbox channel, or an extra
reference to a shared channel.
Factor the teardown into pcc_data_put() so it handles both acquired and
unacquired state, and invoke it on every failure after allocation.
Allocation, reference updates, channel setup, and teardown of a shared
subspace are also unsynchronized. Concurrent processor probe and removal
can lose a reference update, free a live object, or request and initialize
the same mailbox channel twice. Protect that lifecycle with a mutex and
publish pcc_channel_acquired only after its lock and wait queue have been
initialized.
Do not store the temporary pcc_data_alloc() result in the eventual probe
return value. A successful allocation must not make a later parsing failure
run cleanup and then return success.
A later processor-start step can fail after CPPC probe has published its
descriptor. Reuse that descriptor when processor start is retried instead
of resetting its PCC index and reparsing _CPC. This prevents the live
descriptor from becoming detached from its PCC reference.
The per-CPU PCC subspace index is zero-initialized. If probe returns before
assigning it, a later processor exit can consequently drop the reference
for subspace 0 even though this CPU never acquired one. Initialize the
index to -1 before any probe return and only release it from exit after a
CPC descriptor has been published.

A SystemMemory CPPC field narrower than its access unit needs a
read-modify-write operation. The existing per-CPC-descriptor lock
serializes such fields within one _CPC package, but not access units
described by different processors. Concurrent writers can therefore lose
updates.
The ACPI specification does not make _PSD a physical register-ownership
boundary. It can legally describe shared or packed registers across
processors and performance domains. Supporting every such layout would
require locks keyed by physical access unit.
Retain the deliberately cheaper per-descriptor locking model and enforce
its assumptions at probe instead. Reject overlapping access units from
different descriptors when both contain writable partial fields. Exempt
exact aliases when their complete access is one aligned native transaction.
Such non-identical layouts were never safely writable by Linux, so this
turns possible corruption into a probe error rather than removing support.
Within one descriptor, disjoint partial writable fields remain supported
and share its raw spinlock. Across descriptors, exact writable aliases
remain supported and lockless when the complete access is naturally aligned
and the architecture provides a native access of the declared width. Two
partial aliases update the same logical field, so their requests retain
last-writer-wins semantics. Require alignment even on x86 because an
unaligned instruction may not be one indivisible device transaction. Reject
64-bit writable aliases on 32-bit kernels because generic writeq() may use
two 32-bit stores and is not a portable atomicity guarantee. Read-only
64-bit aliases remain supported on every architecture.
Read-only overlaps also remain supported, as does a partial writable field
sharing an access unit with a read-only field. Reject overlapping logical
fields when both are writable. Reject any other field sharing a full-width
writable access unit. Also reject disjoint partial writers across
descriptors because their locks cannot serialize the shared access unit.
Validate the GAS geometry and require naturally aligned 8-, 16-, 32-, or
64-bit SystemMemory access units on architectures whose MMIO accessors
require it. Preserve unaligned SystemMemory layouts on x86, whose MMIO
accessors support them. Keep an interval tree solely for scalable
probe-time overlap validation; the full-width scheduler path does no lookup
and takes no lock.
Keep validation errors separate from the probe return value. A successful
SystemMemory geometry check must not overwrite the pending negative error,
because a later mapping or address-space failure still needs to make probe
fail.

Between _CPC revision 3 and revision 4, Desired Performance changed from
Read/Write to Write. Revision 4 also added the write-only OSPM Nominal
Performance control. ACPI 6.6 section 4.6.3 says reads of write-only bit
positions produce undefined results.
The public Desired Performance helper already rejects revision-4 readback,
but the common register accessor still permits either write-only control to
be read. Reject both centrally so new callers cannot consume undefined
values.
A partial SystemMemory field still makes cpc_write() read its complete
access unit to preserve bits outside the field. MASK_VAL_WRITE() replaces
every bit of the field being written, so that field's undefined readback is
not propagated. However, another writer sharing the access unit would
preserve and replay the write-only field when performing its own RMW.
Reject such pairs; a partial write-only field may share its access unit
only with disjoint read-only fields. The descriptor lock serializes
supported RMW, and the preceding validation rejects unsafe cross-descriptor
partial writers.
Keep an invalid but locatable write-only SystemMemory descriptor
represented during overlap validation, but mark it unreadable and
unwritable. Otherwise a neighbouring RMW field could evade validation and
replay undefined readback into the hidden control. Conservatively claim the
larger of the declared access unit and logical field span. Check if the
writer access unit covers the write-only field so harmless asymmetric
geometries are not rejected. Preserve a decoded access-unit claim even when
the malformed Bit Width is zero, and use that claimed range when testing
whether another writer's access overlaps the hidden field.
A retained range-only descriptor cannot issue a transaction over that whole
conservative claim. Keep the full-width ownership rule for accessible
descriptors, but reject a full-width writer against a range-only descriptor
only when its access covers the hidden logical field. Likewise, count only
accessible descriptors as writers in the generic writer-conflict rules;
the dedicated write-only-field check still protects a retained descriptor
from an accessible writer's RMW.
Mark an inaccessible OSPM Nominal Performance control unsupported because
it is optional. Do the same for inaccessible Desired Performance while
parsing, then let the post-parse control check accept it only for immutable
autonomous selection. This preserves the autonomous-only exception without
accepting an unusable Desired control in non-autonomous mode.
Do not advertise fast switching or zero transition latency unless Desired
Performance remains writable. An inaccessible descriptor retained only for
overlap validation still carries its original address-space identity, but
cannot service a performance request.

PCC GAS Access Size identifies the subspace, so the accessors use Bit Width
as the field size. Their typed readw/readl/readq operations require natural
alignment and support only 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits. This rejects valid
firmware: ACPI 6.6 shows a mandatory 32-bit Delivered Performance Counter
at unaligned offset 0x116, while read-only fields may use byte-multiple
widths such as 24 bits.
Support zero-offset, byte-multiple fields up to 64 bits with byte-oriented
I/O and explicit little-endian encoding. A short per-subspace raw spinlock
serializes aliased payload copies performed concurrently under the shared
side of pcc_lock. Read-only fields may retain byte widths through 64 bits.
Keep writable fields restricted to the previously supported 8-, 16-, 32-,
and 64-bit geometries until cross-processor overlap validation is installed
later in the series. Most CPPC controls are limited to 32 bits, so reject a
64-bit encoding for them. Retain 64-bit Performance Limited, CPPC Enable,
and Autonomous Selection Enable fields, whose specified sizes have only
lower bounds. Fields with a nonzero bit offset or non-byte width still need
unsupported RMW semantics and are rejected or disabled.
Order completion status before consuming returned payload bytes, and
publish every byte-oriented payload store before another CPU can ring the
doorbell. This preserves the PCC status/payload ordering despite relaxed
MMIO and the short payload lock.
Defer the unsupported-field decision until the entire package is known. A
provided but inaccessible CPPC Enable control fails probe because OSPM must
write it before using CPPC. An inaccessible Desired control can be ignored
only for immutable autonomous operation. If both Minimum and Maximum
controls are inaccessible, disable the pair coherently; a one-sided
inaccessible bound fails probe. The post-sanitization check enforces the
specification requirement that both controls exist or neither does. Other
inaccessible optional controls are marked absent; mandatory controls fail.
Keep the eventual probe result negative while temporary validation helpers
succeed. This prevents a later malformed entry, unsupported address space,
or mapping failure from freeing the descriptor and nevertheless returning
success.
Apply the same control-specific policy to unsupported SystemMemory
geometry. Once the PCC channel is available, verify every retained field
fits after the eight-byte header and within shared memory, and reject
overlapping logical ranges when either is writable.
This deliberately does not implement bit-level PCC RMW. In particular, the
one-bit CPPC Enable field in the specification example now produces an
explicit probe failure instead of being silently treated as absent.

cpc_read() and cpc_write() access SystemIO registers using the complete GAS
access width. cpc_read() does not extract a partial field, while the writer
does not preserve bits outside one. A partial register can therefore return
the wrong value or clobber adjacent fields on write.
Retain valid read-only fields in 8-, 16-, and 32-bit access units. Extract
them after reading the complete port. Continue to require writable controls
to cover the complete access unit at Bit Offset zero. A partial write would
require a serialized RMW. Keep accepting Access Size zero when Bit Width
supplies one of the supported sizes. Require natural alignment on
architectures which implement port I/O through MMIO and may fault on
unaligned Device-memory accesses. Preserve port layouts on x86; its native
port-I/O instructions support them.
When CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT is disabled, report unavailable port-I/O support and
mark SystemIO layouts inaccessible during probe. Also return -EOPNOTSUPP
explicitly in cpc_read() and cpc_write() so a SystemIO entry can never fall
through and treat its port number as a physical-memory address.
Resolve inaccessible entries using the control-specific policy established
for PCC: optional fields can be disabled, while mandatory or semantically
required controls fail probe. Reject overlapping logical port ranges when
either entry is writable; read-only overlaps remain allowed.
Partial writable forms are permitted by ACPI, but never worked with the
existing whole-width Linux writer. Implementing them would require
field-aware I/O and appropriate RMW serialization.

PCC shared-memory offsets are physical within a subspace, but the existing
overlap check stops at one _CPC package. Two processors can therefore pass
probe with writable ranges which overlap in the same PCC subspace.
This is unsafe in the performance path, where CPUs may stage requests
concurrently while holding the shared side of pcc_lock. Partially
overlapping stores can construct a payload which belongs to neither request
before a doorbell submits it.
Index retained PCC byte ranges by subspace and physical interval. Permit
read-only overlap and exact aliases of the same logical CPPC entry. The
per-subspace payload lock serializes exact writable aliases, including
multi-byte fields copied with byte-oriented I/O. Reject every other overlap
involving a writable entry.
With that cross-processor protection in place, enable zero-offset,
byte-multiple writable PCC fields. Ordinary performance controls remain at
most 32 bits, while Performance Limited, CPPC Enable, and Autonomous
Selection Enable may use byte-multiple fields through 64 bits.
The interval tree keeps registration proportional to real overlaps rather
than to the number of processors. Remove entries when processor teardown
unpublishes its CPC descriptor, including every probe-failure path after
registration.

System I/O port space is global, but the overlap check only compares
registers within one _CPC package. Whole-width accesses from different
processors can therefore target partially overlapping port ranges and
clobber each other.
Extend the physical interval registry to SystemIO. Permit read-only
overlap and exact full-width aliases of the same logical CPPC entry.
Reject every other cross-processor overlap involving a writable entry.

The Performance Limited status bits are sticky and write-zero-to-clear.
ACPI 6.6 Section 8.4.6.1.3.2 also requires both entities to use interlocked
accesses.
cppc_set_perf_limited() currently reads the register, computes a new value,
and writes it in a separate transaction. If the platform reports another
excursion between those transactions, the stale write can clear that new
event.
Write zero to the requested bits and one to the other defined status bits
directly. Keep reserved bits zero as required for hardware status registers
by ACPI 6.6 Section 4.6.1. This removes the stale read window.
A partial SystemMemory field would still make the generic writer perform a
read-modify-write to preserve the containing access unit. The
per-descriptor spinlock cannot interlock that RMW with platform updates, so
reject clears of such a field. Keep the descriptor mapped and readable,
because reading the containing access unit once and extracting the field
does not require RMW.
Classify a field as a writer during overlap validation only when its _CPC
semantics permit writes and its validated resource remains writable. This
allows partial Performance Limited fields whose clear path was disabled to
share an access unit with other read-only fields, while still rejecting an
actual writer in that access unit.
Also reject another writable SystemMemory field sharing Performance
Limited's access unit. Its RMW could similarly replay stale status bits,
and an OSPM lock cannot serialize against the platform.
Also reject 64-bit SystemMemory descriptions on 32-bit kernels, where
generic readq()/writeq() may be split into two 32-bit operations and cannot
provide the required portable interlocked access. A naturally aligned
full-width QWord remains supported on 64-bit kernels, where the
architecture provides a native 64-bit MMIO accessor.
Retain any inaccessible Performance Limited descriptor whose conservative
physical range is still locatable, while marking both reads and writes
unsupported. This includes a QWord on a 32-bit kernel. Skip its mapping and
the flexible-address-space capability gate, because Linux will issue no
access, without hiding the asynchronous status range from
neighbouring-writer validation. Both the interval registry and pairwise
overlap test use the larger of the access unit and logical field span, so a
malformed field extending beyond its nominal access unit remains covered.
Performance Limited status is not required for CPPC control. If firmware
describes it without even a locatable physical range, disable that status
register instead of rejecting the processor's otherwise usable _CPC
package. Report reads as unsupported rather than returning a synthetic
zero, and emit a single warning for each nonfatal fallback.

"Does this incorrectly restrict the counter wraparound time to 32 bits?
The ACPI specification allows firmware to provide a 64-bit QWord integer
for the Counter Wraparound Time. The cppc_perf_fb_ctrs structure already
models this as a 64-bit value internally
If firmware provides a valid 64-bit integer exceeding U32_MAX for this
register, cpc_integer_entry_valid() will return false and completely abort
CPPC initialization for the CPU. Can we remove this restriction for
CTR_WRAP_TIME?"
This is true. ACPI spec 6.6 and 6.5 (Table 8.23) describe it as
Integer (DWORD) or Buffer
The 64-bit internal representation is only for the case of firmware
providing it as Buffer.

Sashiko:
"Does this incorrectly restrict the counter wraparound time to 32 bits?
The ACPI specification allows firmware to provide a 64-bit QWord integer
for the Counter Wraparound Time. The cppc_perf_fb_ctrs structure already
models this as a 64-bit value internally.
If firmware provides a valid 64-bit integer exceeding U32_MAX for this
register, cpc_integer_entry_valid() will return false and completely abort
CPPC initialization for the CPU. Can we remove this restriction for
CTR_WRAP_TIME?"
GUARANTEED_PERF and TIME_WINDOW: both are Buffer-only Register descriptors.
Nonzero Integer encodings are invalid and Integer 0 is tolerated because
the previous parser allowed it too. I don't know of any platform describing
this myself.

I've tested this series on top of 7.3-rc1 on a handful of Zen5 and Zen6
client hardware.
It works correctly on Zen5 with this series as is.
With my CPPC patches on top of it for Zen6 it works correctly.

Sashiko is right, the table in the spec is wrong. If it is Integer,
it is 64-bit.
The size of an Integer in ASL cannot be restricted.

Well, its other comment is actually different from the first one. Let
me paste it:
Will this strict rejection break CPPC initialization on compliant firmware
that provides non-zero integers for other optional capabilities?
For capability registers not explicitly listed in the switch statement
above, such as GUARANTEED_PERF or TIME_WINDOW, the ACPI 6.5 specification
explicitly allows platforms to provide fixed non-zero values encoded as
Integer objects.
When firmware provides a valid non-zero integer for these optional
registers, this default case enforces that the value must be zero. Since
acpi_cppc_processor_probe() fails and returns -EINVAL when this returns
false, it will completely disable cpufreq and CPPC support for the CPU.
Should we allow non-zero integer values for these other optional registers?

Strictly speaking Integer 0 is not allowed, see
