cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add support for raw EPP writes

2026-04-02T16:29:25+00:00

The energy performance preference field of the CPPC request MSR supports values from 0 to 255, but the strings only offer 4 values. The other values are useful for tuning the performance of some workloads. Add support for writing the raw energy performance preference value to the sysfs file. If the last value written was an integer then an integer will be returned. If the last value written was a string then a string will be returned. Reviewed-by: Gautham R.

cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add support for platform profile class

2026-04-02T16:29:15+00:00

The platform profile core allows multiple drivers and devices to register platform profile support. When the legacy platform profile interface is used all drivers will adjust the platform profile as well. Add support for registering every CPU with the platform profile handler when dynamic EPP is enabled. The end result will be that changing the platform profile will modify EPP accordingly.

cpufreq/amd-pstate: add kernel command line to override dynamic epp

Add `amd_dynamic_epp=enable` and `amd_dynamic_epp=disable` to override the kernel configuration option `CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE_DYNAMIC_EPP` locally. Signed-off-by: Mario Limonciello (AMD) Reviewed-by: Gautham R. Shenoy Signed-off-by: Mario Limonciello (AMD)

cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add dynamic energy performance preference

2026-04-02T16:29:02+00:00

Dynamic energy performance preference changes the EPP profile based on whether the machine is running on AC or DC power. A notification chain from the power supply core is used to adjust EPP values on plug in or plug out events. When enabled, the driver exposes a sysfs toggle for dynamic EPP, blocks manual writes to energy_performance_preference while it "owns" the EPP updates. For non-server systems: * the default EPP for AC mode is `performance`. * the default EPP for DC mode is `balance_performance`. For server systems dynamic EPP is mostly a no-op.
