[PATCH 0/2] x86/topology: Add support for Low Power cpu_type

[PATCH 0/2] x86/topology: Add support for Low Power cpu_type

[Vishal Badole]

This series extends the x86 topology cpu_type classification to support
a Low Power core type, in addition to the existing Performance and
Efficiency types.

AMD heterogeneous parts report the core type via CPUID Fn0x80000026
EBX[31:28] (Extended CPU Topology, Core Type). Value 2 identifies a
low-power core designed for minimal power consumption during background
or idle workloads. Distinguishing it from a regular efficiency core
matters for:

  - user space exposure via /sys/kernel/debug/x86/topo/cpus/*, which
    today reports cpu_type "unknown" for low-power cores

  - amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator(): on every
    X86_FEATURE_AMD_HTR_CORES-capable AMD/Hygon part, low-power cores
    must scale by amd_get_highest_perf() rather than the fixed
    CPPC_HIGHEST_PERF_PERFORMANCE ceiling, matching the existing
    efficiency-core path

The series is structured as:

  1/2 Pre-patch: replace the bare 0/1 in get_topology_cpu_type() with
      named enum amd_cpu_type constants, mirroring the existing Intel
      side. No functional change.

  2/2 Add TOPO_CPU_TYPE_LOW_POWER, wire it through
      get_topology_cpu_type(), get_topology_cpu_type_name() and the
      switch in amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator() so allmodconfig builds
      cleanly under -Werror=switch.

[PATCH 1/2] x86/topology: Name the AMD core-type values

[Vishal Badole]

Replace the bare 0/1 in get_topology_cpu_type() with named constants
that mirror what the AMD APM publishes for CPUID Fn0x80000026
EBX[31:28] (Extended CPU Topology, Core Type):

  0 - Performance core
  1 - Efficient core
  2 - Low-power core (used by a follow-up)

No functional change.

Sashiko says here:

---
  Will this break CPU matching if a driver attempts to target only AMD performance
  cores?
  The x86_cpu_id matching infrastructure treats 0 as the X86_CPU_TYPE_ANY wildcard.
  If a developer uses AMD_CPU_TYPE_PERFORMANCE (which evaluates to 0) in an
  x86_cpu_id match table, the infrastructure will interpret it as a wildcard:
  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/match.c:x86_match_vendor_cpu_type() {
  	...
  	if (m->type == X86_CPU_TYPE_ANY)
  		return true;
  	...
  }
  Could this cause drivers to silently bind to all AMD core types, including
  efficiency and low-power cores, instead of just the performance cores?
---

see https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260629094349.533301-1-Vishal.Badole%40amd.com

And it does make sense to me - x86_match_vendor_cpu_type() is supposed to
receive the *hardware* defined CPU type - not the generic ones. And I think
that was a mistake because the value 0 on AMD means a performance core type
but in the kernel we called it X86_CPU_TYPE_ANY. Which is also not surprising
- all our ANY types are 0.

Now, one fix would be if we define X86_CPU_TYPE_ANY as 0xff and hope that
Intel will never define it.

On AMD that value is guaranteed to be invalid because the core type field is
only 4 bits.

But it can happen that one vendor's core type field can match another core
type of the other vendor. Which would mean that we cannot use X86_VENDOR_ANY
in any of the match_id tables when using a core type.

Or, we do the proper fix and we map all vendor core types to the kernel's,
vendor-agnostic TOPO_CPU_TYPE_* enums and then we're all good - we'd only need
to convert the vendor ones to the generic ones on comparison but we do that
anyway.

Thoughts?

Just do the mapping to vendor-agnostic types _once_ when you enumerate the CPU
and store that information in the per CPU data.

Then you can do proper vendor agnostic matching against that and define
the TYPE_ANY value as you want without ever colliding with vendor
muck.

As a bonus get_topology_cpu_type() goes away too as the translation has
been done already.

Yeah, we should've done it from the very beginning this way. Lemme hack it up
and see how it looks like.

Thanks for the cool idea.

Something like the totally untested below - but it builds at least.

We've allocated a u8 for the struct x86_cpu_id member type and we compare that
to enum x86_topology_cpu_type cpu_type. I guess that's ok for now...

There's potential for more cleanup by removing the ->intel_type and ->amd_type
and converting them all to our internal represenation of CPU_TYPE but that's
for later and other patches anyway.

Thoughts?

Looks reasonable to me and should avoid all the nonsense you had to work
around before.

[PATCH 2/2] x86/topology: Add TOPO_CPU_TYPE_LOW_POWER

[Vishal Badole]

AMD heterogeneous parts report a third core type via CPUID
Fn0x80000026 EBX[31:28] (Extended CPU Topology, Core Type):

  0 - Performance
  1 - Efficiency
  2 - Low Power

get_topology_cpu_type() only translates the first two, so on parts
that ship low-power cores the third type falls through to
TOPO_CPU_TYPE_UNKNOWN. That has two visible effects:

  - /sys/kernel/debug/x86/topo/cpus/* reports cpu_type "unknown" via
    get_topology_cpu_type_name().

  - amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator() hits the default arm of its
    x86_topology_cpu_type switch and uses the
    CPPC_HIGHEST_PERF_PREFCORE fallback instead of scaling by
    amd_get_highest_perf() as efficiency cores do.

Add TOPO_CPU_TYPE_LOW_POWER, translate AMD_CPU_TYPE_LOW_POWER to it
in get_topology_cpu_type(), and expose a "low_power" name via
get_topology_cpu_type_name().

In amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator(), share the efficiency-core arm of
the switch with the new type so low-power cores scale by
amd_get_highest_perf() rather than the performance-core ceiling. The
new case sits under the existing
cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_AMD_HTR_CORES) gate and therefore
applies to every HTR_CORES-capable AMD/Hygon part that reports core
type 2.
