platform/x86/amd/pmf: Move debug helper functions to UAPI header

2026-07-10T12:13:47+00:00

These debug helper functions convert enumerated values to appropriate message and can be useful for userspace tools and other kernel components that need to interpret AMD PMF state values. By making them inline functions in the UAPI header, they become available to both kernel and userspace without code duplication. Also, prefix the function names with amd_pmf_. Also, include a case to cover unused enum entries.

platform/x86/amd/pmf: Store commonly used enums in the header file

2026-07-10T12:13:46+00:00

Relocate commonly used enums from multiple source files into a shared header file to simplify code structure, improve readability, and enhance maintainability. Also, remove the initialization of the first enum member, since it is not needed. Add the AMD_PMF_ prefix to the laptop_placement and platform_type enums since these names are overly generic for inclusion in a UAPI header Co-developed-by: Sanket Goswami Signed-off-by: Sanket Goswami Signed-off-by: Shyam Sundar S K Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260609081044.2416731-4-Shyam-sundar.S-k@amd.com Reviewed-by: Ilpo Järvinen Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen

platform/x86/amd/pmf: store BIOS output values for user-space metrics via util IOCTL

2026-07-10T12:13:44+00:00

Add a bios_output[] to amd_pmf_dev struct and store the latest values for BIOS output policies when applying PMF policies. This enables the AMD PMF util layer to expose these BIOS outputs alongside selected thermal and power metrics to user space via /dev/amdpmf_interface and a new IOCTL, supporting real-time monitoring tools such as SystemDeck.

platform/x86/amd/pmf: Add util layer and userspace character device interface

2026-07-10T12:13:42+00:00

Add a util layer to AMD PMF that exposes a minimal userspace interface via a character device for metrics monitoring and feature discovery. This creates /dev/amdpmf_interface with basic ioctl support to retrieve PMF metrics such as: * Power source and power slider position * Platform type, lid state, and user presence * Skin temperature and ambient light * BIOS input parameters (1-10) * Graphics workload metrics * CPU C-state residency (average and maximum) * Socket power consumption * Auto Mode: Automatic power profile switching based on system activity * Static Power Slider: User-selectable power profiles * Policy Builder (Smart PC): Action based policy management * Dynamic Power Slider AC: Adaptive power profiles when on AC power * Dynamic Power Slider DC: Adaptive power profiles when on battery The interface enables smoother integration with userspace tools such as AMD SystemDeck [1], which is widely used for monitoring and controlling power and thermal behavior on AMD platforms. These tools help designers keep major components within thermal limits to ensure proper operation and enhance overall system stability and reliability. The feature is gated behind the CONFIG_AMD_PMF_UTIL_SUPPORT Kconfig option, allowing it to be disabled if not needed. The implementation uses existing PMF infrastructure to populate data from the TA (Trusted Application) shared memory buffer.
