* cpufreq: Add module aliases for acpi-cpufreqMatthew Garrett2013-01-221-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The acpi core will call request_module("acpi-cpufreq") on subsystem init, but this will fail if the module isn't available at that stage of boot. Add some module aliases to ensure that udev can load the module on Intel and AMD systems with the appropriate feature bits - I /think/ that this will also work on VIA systems, but haven't verified that.

* acpi-cpufreq: Add compatibility for legacy AMD cpb sysfs knobAndre Przywara2012-09-091-2/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The powernow-k8 driver supported a sysfs knob called "cpb", which was instantiated per CPU, but actually acted globally for the whole system. To keep some compatibility with this feature, we re-introduce this behavior here, but: a) only enable it on AMD CPUs and b) protect it with a Kconfig switch I'd like to consider this feature obsolete. Lets keep it around for some kernel versions and then phase it out. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
* acpi-cpufreq: Add support for disabling dynamic overclockingAndre Przywara2012-09-091-0/+177
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One feature present in powernow-k8 that isn't present in acpi-cpufreq is support for enabling or disabling AMD's core performance boost technology. This patch adds support to acpi-cpufreq, but also includes support for Intel's dynamic acceleration. The original boost disabling sysfs file was per CPU, but acted globally. Also the naming (cpb) was at least not intuitive. So lets introduce a single file simply called "boost", which sits once in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq. This should be the only way of using this feature, so add documentation about the rationale and the usage. A following patch will re-introduce the cpb knob for compatibility reasons on AMD CPUs. Per-CPU boost switching is possible, but not trivial and is thus postponed to a later patch series. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* acpi-cpufreq: Add quirk to disable _PSD usage on all AMD CPUsAndre Przywara2012-09-091-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To workaround some Windows specific behavior, the ACPI _PSD table on AMD desktop boards advertises all cores as dependent, meaning that they all can only use the same P-state. acpi-cpufreq strictly obeys this description, instantiating one CPU only and symlinking the others. But the hardware can have distinct frequencies for each core and powernow-k8 did it that way. So, in order to use the hardware to its full potential and keep the original powernow-k8 behavior, lets override the _PSD table setting on AMD hardware. We use the siblings table, as it matches the current hardware behavior. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
* acpi-cpufreq: Add support for modern AMD CPUsMatthew Garrett2012-09-091-6/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | The programming model for P-states on modern AMD CPUs is very similar to that of Intel and VIA. It makes sense to consolidate this support into one driver rather than duplicating functionality between two of them. This patch adds support for AMDs with hardware P-state control to acpi-cpufreq.

* [CPUFREQ] Handle CPUs with different capabilities in acpi-cpufreqMatthew Garrett2011-07-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | acpi-cpufreq checks each CPU for aperf/mperf support, but only sets a global flag. This will cause errors if some CPUs in the system don't support the feature. Check boot_cpu_has() instead in order to make sure that all CPUs support it. Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
