When applied on top of v6.5.3 this breaks turbo on my 5950X after suspend/resume cycle. Please see the scenario description below.

If I boot v6.5.3 + this patchset, then `turbostat` reports ~4.9 GHz on core 0 where `taskset -c 0 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null` is being run.

After I suspend the machine and then resume it, and run `dd` again, `turbostat` reports the core to be capped to a stock frequency of ~3.4 GHz. Rebooting the machine fixes this, and the CPU can boost again.

If this patchset is reverted, then the CPU can turbo after suspend/resume cycle just fine.

I'm using `amd_pstate=guided`.

Is this behaviour expected?

To help confirm where the issue is, can I ask you to do three experiments with the patch series applied:

1) 'amd_pstate=active' on your kernel command line.
2) 'amd_pstate=active amd_prefcore=disable' on your kernel command line.
3) 'amd_pstate=guided amd_prefcore=disable' on your kernel command line.

Looking through the code, I anticipate from your report that it reproduces on "1" but not "2" and "3".

Meng,

Can you try to repro?

I think that it's probably a call to amd_pstate_init_prefcore() missing
from amd_pstate_cpu_resume() and also amd_pstate_epp_resume().
