| | || AMD P-States and ACPI hardware P-States always can be supported in one processor. |
| | | But AMD P-States has the higher priority and if it is enabled with |
| | | :c:macro:`MSR_AMD_CPPC_ENABLE` or ``cppc_set_enable``, it will respond to the |
| | | request from AMD P-States. |

+ 2). Tbench test
+
+ Test and monitor the cpu changes when running tbench benchmark under the specified governor.
+ These changes include desire performance, frequency, load, performance, energy etc.
+ The specified governor is ondemand or schedutil.
+ Tbench can also be tested on the acpi-cpufreq kernel driver for comparison.
+
+ 3). Gitsource test
+
+ Test and monitor the cpu changes when running gitsource benchmark under the specified governor.
+ These changes include desire performance, frequency, load, time, energy etc.
+ The specified governor is ondemand or schedutil.
+ Gitsource can also be tested on the acpi-cpufreq kernel driver for comparison.
+
#. How to execute the tests

We use test module in the kselftest frameworks to implement it.
We create amd-pstate-ut module and tie it into kselftest.(for
details refer to Linux Kernel Selftests [4]_).

+ 1). Build

+ open the :c:macro:`CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE` configuration option.
