[PATCH v2 1/6] cpufreq: amd-pstate: initialize new core precision boost state

From: Perry Yuan
Date: Sun Feb 04 2024 - 07:13:44 EST


From: Perry Yuan <Perry.Yuan@xxxxxxx>

Add gloal global_params to represent current CPU Performance Boost(cpb)
state for cpu frequency scaling, both active and passive modes all can
support CPU cores frequency boosting control which is based on the BIOS
setting, while BIOS turn on the "Core Performance Boost", it will
allow OS control each core highest perf limitation from OS side.

If core performance boost is disabled while a core is in a boosted P-state,
the core transitions to the highest performance non-boosted P-state,
that is the same as the nominal frequency limit.
