[PATCH v3 0/6] amd_pstate: Add guided autonomous mode support

[PATCH v3 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
Kernel: 6.2.0-rc2 + EPP v11 + patch

[PATCH v3 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.

[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 v3 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 v3 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

The "active" mode seems to be broken here on a Zen2 3900X running Linux 6.1.
Frequency remains stuck at minimum which is +-500 MHz.

Some queries of the new /sys devices lead to I/O error:

   # LANG=C cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/amd_pstate_*
   166
   cat: 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/amd_pstate_lowest_nonlinear_freq: 
Input/output error
   cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/amd_pstate_max_freq: 
Input/output error

The "guided" mode seems to work fine with no stuck frequency, but also 
produces I/O error on some /sys files.

I haven't tested "passive".

Cheers,

Tor Vic
