[PATCH 0/7] AMD Pstate Driver Core Performance Boost

[Perry Yuan <perry.yuan@amd.com>]

The patchset series add core performance boost feature for AMD pstate
driver including passisve and active mode support.

User can change core frequency boost control with a new sysfs entry:

"/sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"

The legancy boost interface has been removed due to the function
conflict with new cpb_boost which can support actrive and passive mode.

1. enable core boost:
$ sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"
$ lscpu -ae
CPU NODE SOCKET CORE L1d:L1i:L2:L3 ONLINE    MAXMHZ   MINMHZ      MHZ
  0    0      0    0 0:0:0:0          yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578

  4    0      0    4 4:4:4:0          yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578

2. disabble core boost:
$ sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"
$ lscpu -ae
   0    0      0    0 0:0:0:0          yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
  1    0      0    1 1:1:1:0          yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
  2    0      0    2 2:2:2:0          yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
  3    0      0    3 3:3:3:0          yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
  4    0      0    4 4:4:4:0          yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578


The patches have been tested with the AMD 7950X processor and many users
would like to get core boost control enabled for power saving.
