Subject: [PATCH v6 2/2] cpufreq: CPPC: Reflect ospm_nominal_perf in boost and limits
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 03:23:30 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717215330.2215058-3-sumitg@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717215330.2215058-1-sumitg@nvidia.com>

OSPM Nominal Performance lets OSPM request a nominal level below the
platform-reported nominal. Since boost is the range above nominal,
lowering the nominal enlarges the boost range and drops the non-boost
ceiling.

cppc_cpufreq currently uses the platform nominal as the non-boost
ceiling. Changing the OSPM nominal then leaves the policy limits
unchanged, so the boost and non-boost ranges no longer match the
register.

Reflect the OSPM nominal in the cpufreq policy so that boost and the
frequency limits stay consistent with the register:

  - Add cppc_cpufreq_get_effective_nominal(), which yields the OSPM
    Nominal Performance when set and the platform nominal otherwise.
  - Use it to derive cpuinfo.max_freq for the non-boost ceiling in init()
    and in set_boost() while boost is disabled.

The cpufreq core includes a per-policy boost QoS request among the
constraints that cap scaling_max_freq. It updates that request to match
cpuinfo.max_freq, but only when boost is toggled. Writing
ospm_nominal_freq changes cpuinfo.max_freq without toggling boost, so the
request (boost_freq_req) is left stale and keeps scaling_max_freq at the
old nominal. cppc_cpufreq_reflect_nominal() therefore updates the request
directly when the nominal changes while boost is disabled.

At boot, when highest_perf == nominal_perf there is no boost range, but
lowering the OSPM nominal later from sysfs can create one if
highest_perf > lowest_perf. Since the core registers its boost
FREQ_QOS_MAX request at policy setup only when boost_supported is already
set, set boost_supported in init() when the OSPM register is supported
and such a range is possible. Boost can then be enabled once the nominal
is lowered.
