Documentation: amd-pstate:fix minimum performance state label error

2025-07-16T19:55:58+00:00

In the AMD P-States Performance Scale diagram, the labels for "Max Perf" and "Lowest Perf" were incorrectly used to define the range for "Desired Perf".The "Desired performance target" should be bounded by the "Maximum requested performance" and the "Minimum requested performance", which corresponds to "Max Perf" and "Min Perf", respectively.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "Once again, the changes are dominated by cpufreq updates, but this time the majority of them are cpufreq core changes, mostly related to the introduction of policy locking guards and __free() usage, and fixes related to boost handling. Still, there is also a significant update of the intel_pstate driver making it register an energy model when running on a hybrid platform which is used for enabling energy-aware scheduling (EAS) if the driver operates in the passive mode (and schedutil is used as the cpufreq governor for all CPUs which is the passive mode default). There are some amd-pstate driver updates too, for a good measure, including the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option support and new online/offline callbacks. In the cpuidle space, the most significant change is the addition of a C1 demotion on/off sysfs knob to intel_idle which should help some users to configure their systems more precisely. There is also the conversion of the PSCI cpuidle driver to a faux device one and there are two small updates of cpuidle governors. Device power management is also modified quite a bit, especially the handling of devices with asynchronous suspend and resume enabled during system transitions. They are now going to be handled more asynchronously during suspend transitions and somewhat less aggressively during resume transitions. Apart from the above, the operating performance points (OPP) library is now going to use mutex locking guards and scope-based cleanup helpers and there is the usual bunch of assorted fixes and code cleanups. Specifics: - Fix potential division-by-zero error in em_compute_costs() (Yaxiong Tian) - Fix typos in energy model documentation and example driver code (Moon Hee Lee, Atul Kumar Pant) - Rearrange the energy model management code and add a new function for adjusting a CPU energy model after adjusting the capacity of the given CPU to it (Rafael Wysocki) - Refactor cpufreq_online(), add and use cpufreq policy locking guards, use __free() in policy reference counting, and clean up core cpufreq code on top of that (Rafael Wysocki) - Fix boost handling on CPU suspend/resume and sysfs updates (Viresh Kumar) - Fix des_perf clamping with max_perf in amd_pstate_update() (Dhananjay Ugwekar) - Add offline, online and suspend callbacks to the amd-pstate driver, rename and use the existing amd_pstate_epp callbacks in it (Dhananjay Ugwekar) - Add support for the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option to the amd-pstate driver (Dhananjay Ugwekar) - Reset amd-pstate driver mode after running selftests (Swapnil Sapkal) - Avoid shadowing ret in amd_pstate_ut_check_driver() (Nathan Chancellor) - Add helper for governor checks to the schedutil cpufreq governor and move cpufreq-specific EAS checks to cpufreq (Rafael Wysocki) - Populate the cpu_capacity sysfs entries from the intel_pstate driver after registering asym capacity support (Ricardo Neri) - Add support for enabling Energy-aware scheduling (EAS) to the intel_pstate driver when operating in the passive mode on a hybrid platform (Rafael Wysocki) - Drop redundant cpus_read_lock() from store_local_boost() in the cpufreq core (Seyediman Seyedarab) - Replace sscanf() with kstrtouint() in the cpufreq code and use a symbol instead of a raw number in it (Bowen Yu) - Add support for autonomous CPU performance state selection to the CPPC cpufreq driver (Lifeng Zheng) - OPP: Add dev_pm_opp_set_level() (Praveen Talari) - Introduce scope-based cleanup headers and mutex locking guards in OPP core (Viresh Kumar) - Switch OPP to use kmemdup_array() (Zhang Enpei) - Optimize bucket assignment when next_timer_ns equals KTIME_MAX in the menu cpuidle governor (Zhongqiu Han) - Convert the cpuidle PSCI driver to a faux device one (Sudeep Holla) - Add C1 demotion on/off sysfs knob to the intel_idle driver (Artem Bityutskiy) - Fix typos in two comments in the teo cpuidle governor (Atul Kumar Pant) - Fix denying of auto suspend in pm_suspend_timer_fn() (Charan Teja Kalla) - Move debug runtime PM attributes to runtime_attrs[] (Rafael Wysocki) - Add new devm_ functions for enabling runtime PM and runtime PM reference counting (Bence Csókás) - Remove size arguments from strscpy() calls in the hibernation core code (Thorsten Blum) - Adjust the handling of devices with asynchronous suspend enabled during system suspend and resume to start resuming them immediately after resuming their parents and to start suspending such a device immediately after suspending its first child (Rafael Wysocki) - Adjust messages printed during tasks freezing to avoid using pr_cont() (Andrew Sayers, Paul Menzel) - Clean up unnecessary usage of !! in pm_print_times_init() (Zihuan Zhang) - Add missing wakeup source attribute relax_count to sysfs and remove the space character at the end ofi the string produced by pm_show_wakelocks() (Zijun Hu) - Add configurable pm_test delay for hibernation (Zihuan Zhang) - Disable asynchronous suspend in ucsi_ccg_probe() to prevent the cypd4226 device on Tegra boards from suspending prematurely (Jon Hunter) - Unbreak printing PM debug messages during hibernation and clean up some related code (Rafael Wysocki) - Add a systemd service to run cpupower and change cpupower binding's Makefile to use -lcpupower (John B.
