Subject: [PATCH 5/9] amd-pstate: Add support for CPPC_REQ2 and FLOOR_PERF
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 15:27:49 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306095753.17155-6-gautham.shenoy@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306095753.17155-1-gautham.shenoy@amd.com>
Some future AMD processors have feature named "CPPC Performance
Priority" which lets userspace specify different floor performance
levels for different CPUs. The platform firmware takes these different
floor performance levels into consideration while throttling the CPUs
under power/thermal constraints. The presence of this feature is
indicated by bit 16 of the EDX register for CPUID leaf
0x80000007. More details can be found in AMD Publication titled "AMD64
Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) Performance
Priority" Revision 1.10.
The number of distinct floor performance levels supported on the
platform will be advertised through the bits 32:39 of the
MSR_AMD_CPPC_CAP1. Bits 0:7 of a new MSR MSR_AMD_CPPC_REQ2
(0xc00102b5) will be used to specify the desired floor performance
level for that CPU.
Add support for the aforementioned MSR_AMD_CPPC_REQ2, and macros for
parsing and updating the relevant bits from MSR_AMD_CPPC_CAP1 and
MSR_AMD_CPPC_REQ2.
On boot if the default value of the MSR_AMD_CPPC_REQ2[7:0] (Floor
Perf) is lower than CPPC.lowest_perf, and thus invalid, initialize it
to MSR_AMD_CPPC_CAP1.nominal_perf which is a sane default value.
