[PATCH v9 0/7] AMD Pstate Driver Core Performance Boost
From: Perry Yuan
Date: Mon May 06 2024 - 06:22:30 EST
Hi all,
The patchset series add core performance boost feature for AMD pstate
driver including passisve ,guide and active mode support.
User can change core frequency boost control with a new sysfs entry:
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"
1) disable core boost:
$ sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"
$ lscpu -ae
CPU NODE SOCKET CORE L1d:L1i:L2:L3 ONLINE MAXMHZ MINMHZ MHZ
0 0 0 0 0:0:0:0 yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578
1 0 0 1 1:1:1:0 yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578
2 0 0 2 2:2:2:0 yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2583.855
3 0 0 3 3:3:3:0 yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578
4 0 0 4 4:4:4:0 yes 4201.0000 400.0000 2983.578
2) enable core boost:
$ sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost"
$ lscpu -ae
0 0 0 0 0:0:0:0 yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
1 0 0 1 1:1:1:0 yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
2 0 0 2 2:2:2:0 yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
3 0 0 3 3:3:3:0 yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
4 0 0 4 4:4:4:0 yes 5759.0000 400.0000 2983.578
============================================================================
The V9 patches add per CPU boost control, user can enable/disable CPUs boost
as the below command tested on a laptop system.

The patches have been tested with the AMD 7950X processor and many users
would like to get core boost control enabled for power saving.
