Introduces an optimization to the AMD-Pstate driver by implementing
a heterogeneous core topology for the initialization of the highest
performance value while driver loading.
There are two type cores designed including performance core and
efficiency Core. each core type has different highest performance value
Capitalize the "E" in each.
and highest frequency initialized by power firmware, `amd_pstate` driver
Three things:
1. Rather than "power firmware" you should just say "platform".
2. I would use "configured" instead of "initialized"
3. This is a run on sentence.
Here's my proposed change.
Each core type has different highest performance and frequency values
configured by the platform. The `amd_pstate` driver needs to identify
the type of core to correctly set an appropriate highest perf value.
need to identify the core types and set correct highest perf value.
X86_FEATURE_HETERO_CORE_TOPOLOGY is used to identify whether the
processor support heterogeneous core type by reading CPUID leaf
Fn_0x80000026_EAX and bit 30. if the bit is set as one, then amd_pstate
driver will check EBX 30:28 bits to get the core type.
Value Description:
0h Performance Core.
1h Efficiency Core.

Does this really need a static function calling a static function just
to set a variable?
I would think that you can simplify it something like this:
int amd_get_core_type(void *data)
{
int *type = data;
if (!type)
return -EINVAL;
if (!cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_HETERO_CORE_TOPOLOGY)) {
*type = -1;
return -ENODEV;
}
*type = cpuid_ebx(0x80000026) >> X86_CPU_TYPE_ID_SHIFT;
}
And then amd_pstate_get_cpu_type() can call:
smp_call_function_single(cpu, amd_get_core_type, &cpu_type, 1);
