[PATCH v2 0/6] AMD Pstate Driver Core Performance Boost

[PATCH v2 0/6] AMD Pstate Driver Core Performance Boost

[Perry Yuan]

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"

The legancy boost interface has been removed due to the function
conflict with new cpb_boost which can support all modes.

1). enable 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

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



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.

[PATCH v2 1/6] cpufreq: amd-pstate: initialize new core precision boost state

[Perry Yuan]

From: Perry Yuan <Perry.Yuan@amd.com>

Add gloal global_params to represent current CPU Performance Boost(cpb)
state for cpu frequency scaling, both active and passive modes all can
support CPU cores frequency boosting control which is based on the BIOS
setting, while BIOS turn on the "Core Performance Boost", it will
allow OS control each core highest perf limitation from OS side.

If core performance boost is disabled while a core is in a boosted P-state,
the core transitions to the highest performance non-boosted P-state,
that is the same as the nominal frequency limit.

[PATCH v2 2/6] cpufreq: amd-pstate: implement cpb_boost sysfs entry for boost control

[Perry Yuan]

From: Perry Yuan <Perry.Yuan@amd.com>

With this new sysfs entry `cpb_boost`created, user can change CPU boost
state dynamically under `active`, `guided` and `passive` modes.
And the highest perf and frequency will also be updated as the boost
state changing.

0): check current boost state
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost

1): disable CPU boost
sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"

2): enable CPU boost
sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"

[PATCH v2 3/6] cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix max_perf calculation for amd_get_max_freq()

[Perry Yuan]

From: Perry Yuan <Perry.Yuan@amd.com>

When CPU core Precision Boost state changed, the max frequency will also
need to be updated according to the current boost state, if boost is
disabled now, the max perf will be limited to nominal perf values.
otherwise the max frequency will be showed wrongly.

From: Perry Yuan <Perry.Yuan@amd.com>

Introduce AMD CPU frequency boosting control sysfs entry which used for
switching boost on and boost off.

If core performance boost is disabled while a core is in a boosted P-state,
the core automatically transitions to the highest performance non-boosted P-state
The highest perf and frequency will be limited by the setting value.

[PATCH v2 6/6] cpufreq: amd-pstate: remove legacy set_boost callback for passive mode

[Perry Yuan]

With new freqency boost interface supported, legacy boost control
doesn't make sense any more which only support passive mode.
so it can remove the legacy set_boost interface from amd-pstate driver
in case of there is conflict with new boost control logic.

This leaves amd_pstate_ut_check_freq() in drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut.c broken. Likely, the whole `if (cpudata->boost_supported) {` hunk should be removed there too.

Also, in the header file, there's kernel-doc before `struct amd_cpudata`, where boost_supported is mentioned. It should be removed too then.
