Hi Morgan,

Please apply these 3 commits:

commit 12753d71e8c5 ("ACPI: CPPC: Add helper to get the highest performance value")
commit ed429c686b79 ("cpufreq: amd-pstate: Enable amd-pstate preferred core support")
commit 3d291fe47fe1 ("cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix the highest frequency issue which limits performance")

The first two should help your system, the third will prevent introducing a regression on a different one.

Assuming that works we should ask @stable to pull all 3 in to fix this regression.

Thanks,

Morgan,

I was referring specfiically to the version that landed in Linus' tree:
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/8164f7433264

But yeah it's effectively the same thing.  In any case, it's not the solution.

We had some internal discussion and suspect this is due to missing prefcore patches in 6.6 as that feature landed in 6.9.  We'll try to reproduce this on a Rome system and come back with our findings and suggestions what to do.

Thanks,
