[PATCH v2] ACPI: RISC-V: CPPC: Implement cpc_read_ffh_fb_ctrs()
From: Yufan Dou
Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 03:17:30 EST
On RISC-V, reading FFH feedback counters on a remote hart through
cpc_read_ffh() requires a separate IPI for each register.
cppc_get_perf_ctrs() therefore samples the delivered and reference
counters in two separate IPIs. Variation in the delay between these
reads distorts the delivered/reference ratio and thus the frequency
reported by cpufreq.
Implement cpc_read_ffh_fb_ctrs() to read both counters back-to-back
in a single callback on the target hart. For remote reads, this
reduces two IPIs to one and narrows the separation between the
counter samples. Support CSR-type, SBI-type and mixed-type pairs.
Pairing SBI reads does not reduce the number of SBI calls, but
still avoids a separate IPI for each counter.
Factor the execution-context handling into cppc_ffh_read_on_cpu(),
shared by cpc_read_ffh() and cpc_read_ffh_fb_ctrs(). CPPC frequency
invariance (FIE) reads non-PCC counters directly from the scheduler
tick, with local interrupts disabled. Unconditionally rejecting
such reads prevents the frequency scale from being updated.
Following arm64's counters_read_on_cpu(), invoke the callback
directly when interrupts are disabled and the target is the current
CPU. Reject remote reads in that context. Otherwise, use
smp_call_function_single() and propagate its return value before
accessing the callback results.
Frequency accuracy testing used CSR-type delivered and reference
counters, with CPU1 kept busy by:
# stress-ng --cpu 1 --taskset 1
On a CPU with cpuinfo_max_freq of 3000000 kHz:
Before:
Maximum observed cpuinfo_cur_freq: 3201369 kHz
Maximum observed deviation: +201369 kHz (+6.71%)
After:
Maximum observed cpuinfo_cur_freq: 3009646 kHz
Maximum observed deviation: +9646 kHz (+0.32%)
The maximum observed deviation from cpuinfo_max_freq decreased
by 95.2%.
Additional testing covered the CPPC FIE tick path and SBI-type
FFH register reads.

Changes in v2:
- Support SBI-type and mixed-type counter pairs in a single callback
on the target hart, reducing remote reads to one IPI.
- Factor out cppc_ffh_read_on_cpu() for both FFH read interfaces.
Allow local reads with interrupts disabled and reject remote reads
in that context, following arm64's counters_read_on_cpu().
- Propagate synchronous cross-CPU call errors in cpc_read_ffh().
- Test the CPPC FIE tick path and SBI-type FFH register reads.
