Enhanced autonomous selection and API

[PATCH v2 0/7] Enhanced autonomous selection and API
Posted by Sumit Gupta 1 month, 1 week ago
This patch series enhances the ACPI CPPC CPUFREQ driver with
comprehensive support for autonomous selection, expanded runtime
control interfaces and improved API naming.

It adds support for below:
- Expose sysfs to read/write the Mininum/Maximum Performance Register
  and update the policy min/max accordingly.
    /sys/.../cpufreq/policy*/min_perf and max_perf

- Expose sysfs to read/write the Performance Limited Register.
    /sys/.../cpufreq/policy*/perf_limited

- When toggling autonomous selection, synchronize the policy limits
  by updating the policy min/max.

- System-wide autonomous mode configuration via 'auto_sel_mode' boot
  parameter. Mode can be switched dynamically on individual CPUs.

- Rename APIs to improve the inconsistent naming for clarity.

The patches are grouped as below:
- Patch 1: Improvement for clarity. Can be applied independently.
- Patch 2: Extend existing APIs. Can be applied independently.
- Patch 3: Sysfs to update min/max_perf. Can be applied independently.
- Patch 4: Sysfs to update perf_limited. Can be applied independently.
- Patch 5: Update policy min/max on auto_select. Depends on 'Patch 3'.
- Patch 6: add syfs documentation. Depends on 'Patch 3 and 4'.
- Patch 7: Boot Parameter Support. Depends on 'Patch 3 and 5'.

v1[1] -> v2:
- Move CPC register set sysfs from acpi_cppc to cpufreq directory.
- No sysfs to set auto_sel and epp. They were merged from diff series.
- Remove 'cppc_cpufreq_epp' instance of the 'cppc_cpufreq' driver.
- Synchronize perf_min/max with policy min/max.
- Update policy min/max Toggling auto_select.
- add sysfs to update the perf_limited register.
