[PATCH v2 5/5] x86/amd: Use heterogeneous core topology for identifying boost numerator

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



AMD heterogeneous designs include two types of cores:
 * Performance
 * Efficiency

Each core type has different highest performance values configured by the
platform.  Drivers such as `amd_pstate` need to identify the type of
core to correctly set an appropriate boost numerator to calculate the
maximum frequency.

X86_FEATURE_AMD_HETEROGENEOUS_CORES is used to identify whether the SoC
supports heterogeneous core type by reading CPUID leaf Fn_0x80000026.

On performance cores the scaling factor of 196 is used.  On efficiency
cores the scaling factor is the value reported as the highest perf.
Efficiency cores have the same preferred core rankings.
