[PATCH 0/2] Add support for "Requested CPU Min Frequency" BIOS option
From: Dhananjay Ugwekar
Date: Tue Apr 15 2025 - 06:24:03 EST
Zen 4 AMD EPYC systems and above have a "Requested CPU Min Frequency"
BIOS option which allows the user to set an initial lower frequency
limit. This limit can later be overridden by the user by writing to the
sysfs file "scaling_min_freq".
Initialize lower frequency limit to the "Requested CPU Min frequency"
BIOS option (if it is set) value as part of the driver->init()
callback. The BIOS specified value is passed as min_perf in the CPPC_REQ
MSR. To ensure that we don't mistake a stale min_perf value in CPPC_REQ
value as the "Requested CPU Min frequency" during a kexec wakeup, reset
the CPPC_REQ.min_perf value back to the BIOS specified one in the offline,
exit and suspend callbacks.
amd_pstate_target() and amd_pstate_epp_update_limit() which are invoked
as part of the resume() and online() callbacks will take care of restoring
the CPPC_REQ back to the last sane values.

cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add offline, online and suspend callbacks for
amd_pstate_driver
cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add support for the "Requested CPU Min frequency"
BIOS option
