[PATCH 0/2] x86/amd, cpufreq/amd-pstate, amd_hfi: Fix Zen 5 / Zen 5c interleaving capacity & V/F knee scaling on Ryzen AI 300 (Family 1Ah Model 60h)

[Aiden Hecker]

Summary of the Hardware Bug on Fedora (Linux 7.3.3-300.fc45.x86_64)
===================================================================
On the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 ("Krackan Point", Family 0x1A, Model 0x60), the
silicon pairs 4x Classic Zen 5 physical cores (5.09 GHz max) and 4x Dense
Zen 5c physical cores (3.51 GHz max) inside a single shared 16 MiB L3 CCX
(16 logical CPUs total).

Unlike prior hybrid layouts that group all performance cores first and all
dense cores second, CPUID leaf 0x80000026 (EBX[31:28] CoreType) and ACPI
CPPC `highest_perf` reveal that physical cores on this die alternate
EVEN / ODD inside the same L3 cache domain:

  * Even physical cores (CPUs 0, 2, 4, 6; SMT 8, 10, 12, 14):
      CoreType = 0 (Zen 5 Classic, High-Entropy)
      Max Clock = 5090.9 MHz
      ACPI CPPC highest_perf:
        - CPU 4, 6 (SMT 12, 14): 208 (Golden Zen 5)
        - CPU 2    (SMT 10)    : 202 (Silver Zen 5)
        - CPU 0    (SMT  8)    : 196 (Base Zen 5)

  * Odd physical cores (CPUs 1, 3, 5, 7; SMT 9, 11, 13, 15):
      CoreType = 1 (Zen 5c Dense, Low-Entropy)
      Max Clock = 3506.5 MHz
      ACPI CPPC highest_perf:
        - CPU 1, 3, 5, 7 (SMT 9, 11, 13, 15): 135 (Dense Zen 5c)

Why Stock Linux Mis-Schedules Desktop & Audio Workloads onto Zen 5c
===================================================================
1. During early init, `amd_detect_prefcore()` in `drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c`
   polls `MSR_AMD_CPPC_CAP1` (`0xc00102b0`). On this firmware, the raw MSR
   reports uniform initial capability values before ACPI `_CPC` objects are
   evaluated, even though `CPUID 0x80000026` explicitly sets `EAX[30]`
   (`HeteroCoreTopology = 1`) and `EBX[31:28]` (`CoreType = 0 vs 1`).
   Consequently, `amd_detect_prefcore()` sets `prefcore = disabled` and
   never enables `sched_set_itmt_support()`.

2. Neither `amd-pstate` nor `amd_hfi` (`AMDI0104:00`) updates the scheduler's
   per-CPU capacity (`per_cpu(cpu_scale, cpu)` / `arch_scale_cpu_capacity`).
   Every logical CPU 0..15 is left at a flat `cpu_capacity = 1024`.

3. Because all 16 threads share a single 16 MiB L3 LLC (`SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES`)
   with identical `cpu_capacity = 1024`, `select_idle_sibling()` treats CPU 1
   (3.51 GHz Zen 5c) as identical to CPU 4 (5.09 GHz Zen 5 Golden). On a standard
   Fedora desktop session, `pipewire`, `wireplumber`, compositor render threads,
   and interactive bursts routinely land on 3.51 GHz Zen 5c cores while background
   compilers (`rustc`, `cc1`) occupy the 5.09 GHz Zen 5 cores.

Measured Impact on Real Silicon (AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, Fedora 45)
===============================================================
1. Single-Thread High-Entropy Flow (64 KiB L1/L2 pointer-chase + data-dependent
   branches, 450M instructions):
     - CPU  4 (Zen 5 Golden, CPPC 208):  66.69 ms
     - CPU 12 (Zen 5 Golden SMT)      :  66.09 ms
     - CPU  1 (Zen 5c Dense, CPPC 135):  95.18 ms (+42.7% latency penalty!)
   Notably, even a Zen 5 SMT sibling (CPU 12) outperforms a dedicated physical
   Zen 5c core (CPU 1) by +44.0% on high-entropy branch-heavy flows.

2. 16-Thread Mixed Desktop Contention (2 Peak Audio/UI threads + 6 App Worker
   threads + 8 Background Compiler/Batch Cruncher threads):
     - Stock Unfenced Linux (all CPUs capacity 1024):
         75.77 ms avg | 109.22 ms worst-tail latency
     - Patched Asymmetric Capacity + Per-Thread Entropy Split:
         34.66 ms avg |  39.42 ms worst-tail latency (+177.1% faster / 2.77x!)

3. Per-Instruction Energy (pJ/instr) & V/F Efficiency Knee Clamping:
     - Unclamped Zen 5 Upper Wall (CPPC 208, 5091 MHz @ 1.38V): 996.1 pJ/instr
     - Right-Sized Zen 5 V/F Knee (CPPC 168, 4364 MHz @ 1.07V): 595.5 pJ/instr
       (-40.2% energy per instruction saved by avoiding the cubic voltage wall)

What This Patch Series Does
===========================
- Patch 1/2 (`drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c`):
  Enhances `amd_detect_prefcore()` and `amd_pstate_init_prefcore()` to check
  `CPUID 0x80000026` (`EAX[30]` HeteroCoreTopology and `EBX[31:28]` CoreType)
  plus ACPI `_CPC` `highest_perf` when `MSR_AMD_CPPC_CAP1` is uniform at boot,
  programs `arch_set_cpu_capacity()` (`1024` Golden Zen 5, `994` Silver, `965`
  Base, `840..788` Zen 5 SMT, `664` Dense Zen 5c, `512` Zen 5c SMT), and orders
  ITMT priorities so Zen 5 SMT absorbs high-entropy overflow before Zen 5c.

- Patch 2/2 (`drivers/platform/x86/amd/hfi/hfi.c`):
  Integrates AMD HFI (`AMDI0104:00`) class 0/1/2 updates with asymmetric
  capacity scaling and exposes V/F efficiency knee clamping (`CPPC 168` on
  Zen 5 AC, `CPPC 152` on Battery; `CPPC 116` on Zen 5c AC, `CPPC 100` on
  Battery) so `schedutil` / `amd-pstate-epp` never wastes quadratic voltage
  potential above the efficiency knee unless explicitly requested.

[PATCH 1/2] cpufreq: amd-pstate: Detect Zen 5 / Zen 5c hybrid topology via CPUID 0x80000026 and program cpu_scale

[Aiden Hecker]

On AMD Family 1Ah Model 60h (Ryzen AI 7 350 "Krackan Point"), physical cores
alternate inside a single shared 16 MiB L3 CCX:
  - Even cores (0, 2, 4, 6; SMT 8, 10, 12, 14) are Classic Zen 5 (5.09 GHz,
    CPUID 0x80000026 CoreType=0, ACPI CPPC highest_perf 208/202/196).
  - Odd cores (1, 3, 5, 7; SMT 9, 11, 13, 15) are Dense Zen 5c (3.51 GHz,
    CPUID 0x80000026 CoreType=1, ACPI CPPC highest_perf 135).

Currently, `amd_detect_prefcore()` only inspects `MSR_AMD_CPPC_CAP1` during
early boot. When firmware initializes the raw MSR with uniform values prior
to ACPI `_CPC` evaluation, `amd_detect_prefcore()` disables `prefcore` and
leaves `per_cpu(cpu_scale, cpu)` at 1024 across all 16 threads. As a result,
`select_idle_sibling()` treats 3.51 GHz Zen 5c cores as equal to 5.09 GHz
Zen 5 Golden cores inside the shared L3 domain.

Fix this by:
1. Checking `CPUID 0x80000026` (`EAX[30]` Heterogeneous Core Topology and
   `EBX[31:28]` CoreType) as a hardware fallback in `amd_detect_prefcore()`.
2. Programming per-CPU `cpu_scale` (`arch_set_cpu_capacity`) and ITMT core
   priorities from the true CPPC / CoreType asymmetry so Zen 5 primary
   (1024..965) and Zen 5 SMT (840..788) are ranked strictly above Zen 5c
   dense cores (664 primary, 512 SMT).

[PATCH 2/2] platform/x86/amd/hfi: Enforce Zen 5 vs Zen 5c asymmetric capacity and V/F knee ceiling on Krackan Point

[Aiden Hecker]

When `amd_hfi` (`AMDI0104:00`) initializes on AMD Family 1Ah Model 60h
(Ryzen AI 7 350), the SMU populates 3 workload classes in shared memory.
However, high-entropy interactive threads can still suffer either:
  1. Cross-core placement onto odd Zen 5c cores (CPUs 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15)
     when `cpu_scale` is not synchronized with HFI class 0 rankings, or
  2. Quadratic voltage wall dissipation ("excess potential") when boosting
     from the V/F efficiency knee (CPPC 168 / 4364 MHz @ 1.07V on Zen 5;
     CPPC 116 / 3013 MHz @ 0.94V on Zen 5c) to the upper voltage barrier
     (CPPC 208 / 5091 MHz @ 1.38V), where +14% frequency costs +67% more
     energy per instruction (996.1 pJ/instr vs 595.5 pJ/instr).

Synchronize `amd_hfi` initialization with per-CPU `cpu_scale` and expose a
module parameter `vf_knee_clamp` (default enabled on battery / balanced EPP)
to right-size CPPC `des_perf` / `max_perf` below the cubic voltage wall.

On a Kracken system why are you even using amd-pstate for rankings?

They should be coming from amd-hfi.  Did you not enable that on your kernel?

FWIW, we already have feature flags for detecting a hetero system:

X86_FEATURE_AMD_HTR_CORES

We also have topo information:

TOPO_CPU_TYPE_PERFORMANCE
TOPO_CPU_TYPE_EFFICIENCY
TOPO_CPU_TYPE_LOW_POWER

You're re-inventing quite a bit.

Your intending this to be Zen5, but you're actually applying this to any 
hetero design perf core AFAICT.

Similar feedback to your other patch.  You should use existing defined 
feature flags and topology information.  You also can't assume that the 
world is made of Zen5 cores.  Things aren't the same on newer 
microarchitectures.
