[PATCH v5 0/6] amd_pstate: Add guided autonomous mode support

[PATCH v5 0/6] amd_pstate: Add guided autonomous mode support

[Wyes Karny]

From ACPI spec[1] below 3 modes for CPPC can be defined:
1. Non autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies operating frequency/
   performance level through `Desired Performance` register and platform
follows that.
2. Guided autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies min and max
   frequencies/ performance levels through `Minimum Performance` and
`Maximum Performance` register, and platform can autonomously select an
operating frequency in this range.
3. Fully autonomous: OS only hints (via EPP) to platform for the required
   energy performance preference for the workload and platform autonomously
scales the frequency.

Currently (1) is supported by amd_pstate as passive mode, and (3) is
implemented by EPP support[2]. This change is to support (2).

In guided autonomous mode the min_perf is based on the input from the
scaling governor. For example, in case of schedutil this value depends
on the current utilization. And max_perf is set to max capacity.

To activate guided auto mode ``amd_pstate=guided`` command line
parameter has to be passed in the kernel.

Below are the results (normalized) of benchmarks with this patch:
System: Genoa 96C 192T

[PATCH v5 1/6] acpi: cppc: Add min and max perf reg writing support

[Wyes Karny]

Currently writing of min and max perf register is deferred in
cppc_set_perf function. In CPPC guided mode, these registers needed to
be written to guide the platform about min and max perf levels. Add this support
to make guided mode work properly on AMD shared memory systems.

[PATCH v5 2/6] acpi: cppc: Add auto select register read/write support

[Wyes Karny]

For some AMD shared memory based systems, the autonomous selection bit
needed to be set explicitly. Add autonomous selection register related
APIs to acpi driver, which amd_pstate driver uses later.

[PATCH v5 3/6] cpufreq: amd_pstate: Add guided autonomous mode

[Wyes Karny]

From ACPI spec below 3 modes for CPPC can be defined:
1. Non autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies operating frequency/
   performance level through `Desired Performance` register and platform
follows that.
2. Guided autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies min and max
   frequencies/ performance levels through `Minimum Performance` and
`Maximum Performance` register, and platform can autonomously select an
operating frequency in this range.
3. Fully autonomous: OS only hints (via EPP) to platform for the required
   energy performance preference for the workload and platform autonomously
scales the frequency.

Currently (1) is supported by amd_pstate as passive mode, and (3) is
implemented by EPP support. This change is to support (2).

In guided autonomous mode the min_perf is based on the input from the
scaling governor. For example, in case of schedutil this value depends
on the current utilization. And max_perf is set to max capacity.

To activate guided auto mode ``amd_pstate=guided`` command line
parameter has to be passed in the kernel.

[PATCH v5 5/6] cpufreq: amd_pstate: Add guided mode control support via sysfs

[Wyes Karny]

amd_pstate driver's `status` sysfs entry helps to control the driver's
mode dynamically by user. After the addition of guided mode the
combinations of mode transitions have been increased (16 combinations).
Therefore optimise the amd_pstate_update_status function by implementing
a state transition table.

There are 4 states amd_pstate supports, namely: 'disable', 'passive',
'active', and 'guided'.  The transition from any state to any other
state is possible after this change. Only if the state requested matches
with the current state then -EBUSY value is returned.

Sysfs interface:

To disable amd_pstate driver:
 # echo disable > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/status

To enable passive mode:
 # echo passive > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/status

To change mode to active:
 # echo active > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/status

To change mode to guided:
 # echo guided > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/status

I tested "active" mode on a Zen2, using EPP v12 and this series on top.

Here is the output of 'cpupower frequency-info' run as root under full load:

   analyzing CPU 0:
     driver: amd_pstate_epp
     CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
     CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
     maximum transition latency:  Cannot determine or is not supported.
     hardware limits: 550 MHz - 4.67 GHz
     available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
     current policy: frequency should be within 550 MHz and 4.67 GHz.
                   The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
                   within this range.
     current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
     current CPU frequency: 4.18 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
     boost state support:
       Supported: yes
       Active: yes
       Boost States: 0
       Total States: 3
       Pstate-P0:  3800MHz
       Pstate-P1:  2800MHz
       Pstate-P2:  2200MHz

Changing EPP mode via sysfs works.

----

Live-switching to "guided" mode via sysfs also seems to work fine:

   analyzing CPU 0:
     driver: amd-pstate
     CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
     CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
     maximum transition latency: 20.0 us
     hardware limits: 550 MHz - 4.67 GHz
     available cpufreq governors: ondemand powersave performance schedutil
     current policy: frequency should be within 550 MHz and 4.67 GHz.
                   The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                   within this range.
     current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
     current CPU frequency: 3.71 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
     boost state support:
       Supported: yes
       Active: yes
       AMD PSTATE Highest Performance: 166. Maximum Frequency: 4.67 GHz.
       AMD PSTATE Nominal Performance: 135. Nominal Frequency: 3.80 GHz.
       AMD PSTATE Lowest Non-linear Performance: 62. Lowest Non-linear 
Frequency: 1.74 GHz.
     AMD PSTATE Lowest Performance: 20. Lowest Frequency: 550 MHz.

----

Seems to work fine so far.
Hope this helps.
I can test more in detail and give you a Tested-by tag if wanted.

Thanks,
