Add 8BAD to the list of boards which have thermal profile selection
available. This allows the CPU to draw more power than the default TDP
barrier defined by the 'balanced' thermal profile (around 50W), hence
allowing it to perform better without being throttled by the embedded
controller (around 130W).
We first need to set the HP_OMEN_EC_THERMAL_PROFILE_TIMER_OFFSET to zero.
This prevents the timer countdown from reaching zero, making the embedded
controller "force-switch" the system's thermal profile back to 'balanced'
automatically.
We also need to put a number of specific flags in
HP_OMEN_EC_THERMAL_PROFILE_FLAGS_OFFSET when we're switching to another
thermal profile:
- for 'performance', we need to set both HP_OMEN_EC_FLAGS_TURBO and
HP_OMEN_EC_FLAGS_NOTIMER;
- for 'balanced' and 'powersave', we clear out the register to notify
the system that we want to lower the TDP barrier as soon as possible.
The third flag defined in the hp_thermal_profile_omen_flags enum,
HP_OMEN_EC_FLAGS_JUSTSET, is present for completeness.
To prevent potential behaviour breakage with other Omen models, a
separate omen_timed_thermal_profile_boards array has been added to list
which boards expose this behaviour.
Performance benchmarking was done with the help of silver.urih.com and
Google Chrome 120.0.6099.129, on Gnome 45.2, with the 'performance'
thermal profile set:
| | Performance | Stress | TDP |
|------------------|-------------|------------|-------|
| with my patch | P84549 | S0.1891 | 131W |
| without my patch | P44084 | S0.1359 | 47W |
The TDP measurements were done with the help of the s-tui utility,
during the load.
There is still work to be done:
- tune the CPU and GPU fans to better cool down and enhance
performance at the right time; right now, it seems that the fans are
not properly reacting to thermal/performance events, which in turn
either causes thermal throttling OR makes the fans spin way too long,
even though the temperatures have lowered down
- expose the CPU and GPU fan curves to user-land so that they can be
controlled just like what the Omen Gaming Hub utility proposes to
its users;
