cpufreq: amd-pstate: change amd-pstate driver to be built-in type

2022-11-22T18:57:15+00:00

Currently when the amd-pstate and acpi_cpufreq are both built into kernel as module driver, amd-pstate will not be loaded by default in this case. Change amd-pstate driver as built-in type, it will resolve the loading sequence problem to allow user to make amd-pstate driver as the default cpufreq scaling driver.

cpufreq: amd-pstate: Add explanation for X86_AMD_PSTATE_UT

2022-10-05T17:05:18+00:00

This kernel module is used for testing. It's safe to say M here. It can also be built-in without X86_AMD_PSTATE enabled. Currently, only tests for amd-pstate are supported. If X86_AMD_PSTATE is set disabled, it can tell the users test can only run on amd-pstate driver, please set X86_AMD_PSTATE enabled. In the future, comparison tests will be added. It can set amd-pstate disabled and set acpi-cpufreq enabled to run test cases, then compare the test results.

cpufreq: amd-pstate: Introduce a new AMD P-State driver to support future processors

2021-12-30T17:51:39+00:00

AMD P-State is the AMD CPU performance scaling driver that introduces a new CPU frequency control mechanism on AMD Zen based CPU series in Linux kernel. The new mechanism is based on Collaborative processor performance control (CPPC) which is finer grain frequency management than legacy ACPI hardware P-States. Current AMD CPU platforms are using the ACPI P-states driver to manage CPU frequency and clocks with switching only in 3 P-states. AMD P-State is to replace the ACPI P-states controls, allows a flexible, low-latency interface for the Linux kernel to directly communicate the performance hints to hardware. AMD P-State leverages the Linux kernel governors such as *schedutil*, *ondemand*, etc. to manage the performance hints which are provided by CPPC hardware functionality. The first version for AMD P-State is to support one of the Zen3 processors, and we will support more in future after we verify the hardware and SBIOS functionalities. There are two types of hardware implementations for AMD P-State: one is full MSR support and another is shared memory support. It can use X86_FEATURE_CPPC feature flag to distinguish the different types. Using the new AMD P-State method + kernel governors (*schedutil*, *ondemand*, ...) to manage the frequency update is the most appropriate bridge between AMD Zen based hardware processor and Linux kernel, the processor is able to adjust to the most efficiency frequency according to the kernel scheduler loading.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

cpufreq: intel_pstate: Select schedutil as the default governor

2020-03-26T19:32:49+00:00

Modify cpufreq Kconfig to select schedutil as the default governor if the intel_pstate driver has been selected and SMP support is enabled (because schedutil depends on SMP). Also select schedutil as well as the performance governor from the intel_pstate Kconfig section to ensure the equivalence of the passive and active mode governor configuration options.
