cpufreq: amd-pstate: implement Pstate EPP support for the AMD processors
Add EPP driver support for AMD SoCs which support a dedicated MSR for CPPC. EPP is used by the DPM controller to configure the frequency that a core operates at during short periods of activity. The SoC EPP targets are configured on a scale from 0 to 255 where 0 represents maximum performance and 255 represents maximum efficiency. The amd-pstate driver exports profile string names to userspace that are tied to specific EPP values. The balance_performance string (0x80) provides the best balance for efficiency versus power on most systems, but users can choose other strings to meet their needs as well. $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/energy_performance_available_preferences default performance balance_performance balance_power power $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/energy_performance_preference balance_performance To enable the driver,it needs to add `amd_pstate=active` to kernel command line and kernel will load the active mode epp driver Acked-by: Huang Rui <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Mario Limonciello <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Wyes Karny <[email protected]> Tested-by: Wyes Karny <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Perry Yuan <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
