Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] ACPI: CPPC: Reject desired_perf reads on _CPC revision 4+
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 08:28:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908122840.2091786-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090308-padlock-setting-e1ac@gregkh>
From: Christian Loehle <christian.loehle@arm.com>
[ Upstream commit df5a1d4a8cdfda20eb2581a85e81c7d436866534 ]
When CPPC feedback counters cannot provide a usable sample, cppc-cpufreq
calls cppc_get_desired_perf() because some platforms repurpose Desired
Performance to report actual delivered performance.
ACPI 6.5 defines _CPC revision 3 and lists Read/Write as the Optional
Attribute of Desired Performance. ACPI 6.6 advances _CPC to revision 4 and
lists only Write, so invoking that workaround for revision 4 or later would
require a register read that the interface no longer specifies.
Make cppc_get_desired_perf() return -EOPNOTSUPP for _CPC revision 4 or
later. Use the revision retained in the per-CPU CPC descriptor rather than
the platform-wide FADT revision.
The _CPC revision may still not accurately describe the implemented
register semantics. If a nominally revision 3 platform implements a
non-readable Desired Performance register, a read may return zero and make
cppc_cpufreq_get_rate() report 0 kHz. Treat a zero read as unusable and
fall back to the cached OSPM request, just as for a failed read.
Fixes: c47195631960 ("cppc_cpufreq: Use desired perf if feedback ctrs are 0 or unchanged")
