Hi all:

The core frequency is subjected to the process variation in semiconductors.
Not all cores are able to reach the maximum frequency respecting the
infrastructure limits. 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. When amd-pstate
driver receives a message with the highest performance change, it will
update the core ranking.

You've got the tag order wrong I believe for this.  Did checkpatch not 
make noise?

I think it's supposed to be:

I think you should use prefcore which embeds into cpudata structure instead
of global variable. Here, actually, you walked through all online cpus, the
last cpu's status will overwrite the previous one.

Is there any requirement from user space (cpupower or other tool) to query
the capacity at runtime?  In fact, we can simplify the codes that use a
print in the kernel to let user know whether current cpu supports prefcore
in hardware side.

As mentioned in the v3, this should be checking hw_prefcore.

For example: Let's consider a cap1 value for a CPU is: e752380d and the
system can go to freq 3.5 GHz. The system supports preferred core but
user added prefcore=disable command line option.

Therefore below will be the perf values after amd_pstate init:

lowest_perf: 13
lowest_nonlinear_perf: 56
nominal_perf: 82
highest_perf: 231

Let's say user selected userspace governor and tries to set frequency
2.8 Ghz. Then des_perf calculation would be as below:

des_perf = 2800000 * 231 / 3500000 = 184

Which is wrong. Because HW only allows des_perf upto 166 (because HW
supports preferred core).

If we restrict highest_perf to 166 in preferred core supported (by HW)
system, even when we disable preferred core from SW, then the des_perf
calculation stays correct.

des_perf = 2800000 * 166 / 3500000 = 132

Therefore when user disables preferred core with prefcore=disable
command line in a preferred core supported system, the highest_perf
should be AMD_PSTATE_PREFCORE_THRESHOLD (166).

Same here.

The variable "prefcore" is an early kernel param.
User can set it status to enabled or disabled.
I think it cannot be embedded into "cpudata" structure.

I will modify it to pr_debug() message.

There is no such function... ?

I'm confused,...  you call amd_pstate_init_prefcore() at
device_initcall(). Once per boot.

Then it iterates all online CPUs..

But what if you boot with some CPUs offline and bring then online later?
