[AMD Official Use Only - General] Hi all: Do you have any other review comments? Hi Rafael: If there are no other issues, can you merge it to linux-next? > -----Original Message----- > From: Meng, Li (Jassmine) <Li.Meng@amd.com> > Sent: Monday, October 30, 2023 2:34 PM > To: Rafael J .

Consequently, AMD has redefined the concept of > maximum frequency of a part. This means that a fraction of cores can reach > maximum frequency. To find the best process scheduling policy for a given > scenario, OS needs to know the core ordering informed by the platform > through highest performance capability register of the CPPC interface. > > Earlier implementations of amd-pstate preferred core only support a static > core ranking and targeted performance. Now it has the ability to dynamically > change the preferred core based on the workload and platform conditions > and accounting for thermals and aging. > > Amd-pstate driver utilizes the functions and data structures provided by the > ITMT architecture to enable the scheduler to favor scheduling on cores which > can be get a higher frequency with lower voltage. > We call it amd-pstate preferred core. > > Here sched_set_itmt_core_prio() is called to set priorities and > sched_set_itmt_support() is called to enable ITMT feature. > Amd-pstate driver uses the highest performance value to indicate the > priority of CPU. The higher value has a higher priority. > > Amd-pstate driver will provide an initial core ordering at boot time. > It relies on the CPPC interface to communicate the core ranking to the > operating system and scheduler to make sure that OS is choosing the cores > with highest performance firstly for scheduling the process.
