cppc check script
Hi There, Could you run the script to capture the CPPC capabilities to check the detail? Perry Created attachment 306194 [details]
Output of CPCC script (on 6.8.0-rc5 kernel)
Output of cppc_attr_values_check.sh script.
BTW, it is exactly the same when ran on 'older' 6.8.7 kernel
Anything else i could do that might help pinpoint or reproduce the issue ? (In reply to Gaha from comment #4) > Anything else i could do that might help pinpoint or reproduce the issue ? Hi Gaha, Sorry to reply late, could you please try the below two patchset ? 1. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1713858800.git.perry.yuan@amd.com/ 2. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1713861200.git.perry.yuan@amd.com/ then switch to amd pstate EPP driver mode, then provide "lscpu -ae" output with "tbench -t 100 2" then we could see what it changed. Perry. hi, I've applied patches to 6.9.0-rc5 and built kernel with those. With kernel command line being either "passive", "guided" or "active" result is the same - single core never goes above 4.35Ghz. with 6.8 kernel it does go all the way to 5.1Ghz. here is the output of lscpu -ae when running Geekbench (during single core load) and it is the same with 'cat /dev/zero > /dev/null' . As for the 'tbench -t 100 2' - on my ubuntu system tbench is part of diskbench. If you were referring to tbench as part of kernel testing suite (https://docs.kernel.org/6.8/admin-guide/pm/amd-pstate.html) - i tried building it, it produces errors as scripts are looking for amd-pstate driver not amd-pstate-epp driver etc... However, am 100% certain that frequencies never boost above 4.35Ghz.(went back to 6.8.7 kernel and all is good). Here is the (hopefully useful output) showing that new 'cpp_boost' flag is there etc as well as lspci -ae outputs during single core loading: zh@muc:~/kselftest/amd-pstate$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/cpb_boost 1 zh@muc:~/kselftest/amd-pstate$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_driver amd-pstate-epp zh@muc:~$ lscpu -ae CPU NODE SOCKET CORE L1d:L1i:L2:L3 ONLINE MAXMHZ MINMHZ MHZ 0 0 0 0 0:0:0:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 400.0000 1 0 0 1 1:1:1:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 4309.2700 2 0 0 2 2:2:2:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 2416.1770 3 0 0 3 3:3:3:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 400.0000 4 0 0 4 4:4:4:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 1722.2209 5 0 0 5 5:5:5:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 400.0000 6 0 0 6 6:6:6:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 400.0000 7 0 0 7 7:7:7:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 400.0000 8 0 0 0 0:0:0:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 1480.4850 9 0 0 1 1:1:1:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 4307.9858 10 0 0 2 2:2:2:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 1751.6750 11 0 0 3 3:3:3:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 1722.3180 12 0 0 4 4:4:4:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 400.0000 13 0 0 5 5:5:5:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 400.0000 14 0 0 6 6:6:6:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 400.0000 15 0 0 7 7:7:7:0 yes 4350.0000 400.0000 400.0000 Are there any other tests i could run to help figure out root cause of problem with 6.9 kernel ? FYI - sorry if obvious to you & the team - i tried manually compiling 6.8.7 and it works fine. I tried to see if these patches can be applied to it, but that is not the case. Therefore am certain that whatever is causing scaling in single core workloads not to work it is result of the changes made between 6.8 and 6.9 Appreciate this may not help but here it is. thank you Can you please try with preferred core disabled? amd_prefcore=disable hi , thank you for the suggestions (@Mario),
I've just tried that as well. Single core workloads still do not go above 'basic' speeds. In addition to adding 'amd_prefcore=disable' below i've also tried adding explicitly to kernel command line amd_pstate various parameters (active, guided, passive) 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="amd_pstate=guided amd_prefcore=disable iommu=pt quiet " with no change in behaviour

I hope this helps ?
In that case, would you be able to bisect perhaps? I think you can *probably* focus the bisect on drivers/cpufreq directory so it should be relatively quick. Even if that is indeterminate you'll at least have a bunch of function hashes you can use to reduce the number of steps for a full kernel tree bisect.

Hi, tx but am not sure I'd know how to do that. Just wanted to report a bug and help to the best of my abilities to get it sorted out as it may impact more people down the road. This should help you get started on a bisect: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/bug-bisect.html If you can build a kernel you basically take a good and bash hash and then pick a point in between and keep going at half way points until you found the broken commit. FWIW, a more verbose bisection guide can be found here: https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/verify-bugs-and-bisect-regressions.html While at it, let me add this to the regression tracking: #regzbot introduced: v6.8..v6.9-rc5 #regzbot summary: Ryzen 7840HS CPU single core never boosts to max frequency Hi all, I have got issue root cause and working on new fix patch， there is one power firmware change on this generation CPU. will share the testing patch once I got it done. Perry. :thumbs-up: :) (In reply to Perry Yuan(AMD) from comment #14) > I have got issue root cause and working on new fix patch， What's the status? 6.9 might be released in 9 days and it would be good to have this fixed. Perry is on leave right now for Labor Day so I'll update the status. The fix is developed but under internal code review at the moment. I don't expect it to make 6.9 but it's small enough we can aim for it to go to 6.9.y. thx for the update, Mario! Hi, Please try this patchset for the issue https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1715065568.git.perry.yuan@amd.com/ hi, i tried applying the batch to linux rcX tree and i can not get it to apply the patch. Have tried v6.9-rc7, -rc6 , -rc5 and -rc1 - all fail with the same msg: zh@muc:~/git/linus-kernel$ git am ./20240507_perry_yuan_amd_pstate_driver_fixes_and_improvements.mbx Applying: cpufreq: amd-pstate: optimiza the initial frequency values verification error: patch failed: drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c:873 error: drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c: patch does not apply Patch failed at 0001 cpufreq: amd-pstate: optimiza the initial frequency values verification hint: Use 'git am --show-current-patch=diff' to see the failed patch When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue". If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead. To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort". should I apply this to a different 'base' kernel code ?

(In reply to Perry Yuan(AMD) from comment #19) > https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1715065568.git.perry.yuan@amd.com/ Correct me if I'm wrong, but from Mario's earlier comment, the number of patches, and number of changed lines this does sounds like this won't be applied for 6.9 this late; there are no Fixes or stable tags either. So what's the plan to prevent this regression from entering 6.9? Do we know which commit caused this? Can we revert that one and reapply it for 6.10 (together with these changes, once reviewed). Also: how many users do we suspect will run into this? It's one patch in the series that was added to the series that helps, but a lot of this code is intertwined. I'll look whether it can move to front of the series if reordered. Try to apply just patch 10 in that above link. But that might need patch 9 too, we'll have to see what really makes sense for stable. (In reply to Mario Limonciello (AMD) from comment #26) > But that might need patch 9 too, we'll have to see what really makes sense > for stable. Thank you Mario! I tried applying only 10 or 9&10 (git am -i ./patchfromperry.mbx) and it fails in the same way. Have even played with previous other pstate patches (latest versions of those mentioned at the top of this thread that Perry mentioned may help) - with no avail. So my question is please the same: *** to which source version these patches correspond to and what are the prerequiste patches (if any) ? *** Everything should be based off the bleeding-edge branch for linux-pm which is code headed to 6.10. (In reply to Mario Limonciello (AMD) from comment #28) > Everything should be based off the bleeding-edge branch for linux-pm which > is code headed to 6.10. Thank you Mario - not so simple for not-kernel-developers :( Appreciate the response and clarity though :) Was hoping to be able to test and report but will need to wait a month or so i guess for 6.10-rc1 to be able to do that. Pity 6.9 will limit single core performance on loads of AMD Ryzen CPUs ... unless Perry manages to address that issue w/o requiring all the other patches ... still not clear which change from 6.8 to 6.9 caused this to go 'wrong' Thank you all !

Can you see if that helps you? hi Mario - FANTASTIC job - Thank you :) ! Applied to -rc7 - recompiled - all good. When running single core tasks on my Ryzen 7840HS single core does go to almost 5.1GHz as it used to... Geekbench scores are great. I tried only with 'amd_pstate=active' as kernel parameter - should i test with 'guided' and/or 'passive' , or it is a waste of time as this fix addressed all scenarios ? Great! It should apply equally to all modes. If there is a regression with any other mode it should be a different root cause. If you feel comfortable doing so please add a "Tested-by" tag publicly on the link I posted, instructions at bottom of the page.

Can you see if that helps you? In kernel 6.8 and below, I have some cpu cores that can goes above 5.1GHz. I'm not sure if I read the cpu info correctly: https://preview.redd.it/hp-845-g10-7840hs-32-gb-ddr5-cpu-frequency-mystery-v0-oaorgqghrl1c1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=ab7281dbbeeed86a70f5de23a6db85337d2c900e That's also match the data in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/amd_pstate_max_freq If the clock freq reported by the system above is correct, does your patch limit the clock freq of all cpu core at 5.13Ghz? Here is cpu max freq that I got from /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/amd_pstate_max_freq https://preview.redd.it/hp-845-g10-7840hs-32-gb-ddr5-cpu-frequency-mystery-v0-tlmlpomdrl1c1.png?width=673&format=png&auto=webp&s=12eb2184e83bba7628bd28c59515b78549a04547 (In reply to Thong Pham from comment #38) > Here is cpu max freq that I got from > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/amd_pstate_max_freq > > https://preview.redd.it/hp-845-g10-7840hs-32-gb-ddr5-cpu-frequency-mystery- > v0-tlmlpomdrl1c1. > png?width=673&format=png&auto=webp&s=12eb2184e83bba7628bd28c59515b78549a04547 please run "lscpu -ae" which will tell you the frequency range and current each cpu frequency running. maybe you need to run some workloads to trigger the frequency level up. Perry. With 6.8.9 kernel values 'reported' are not correct. With the patch provided above against 6.9 kernel values reported are correct. However with either kernel CPU is boosting correctly (both in single core and multicore workloads). Geekbench scores are same... I am not sure which bug with 6.8 is causing wrong reporting of the actual frequencies but 7840HS does not boost to 6.080 GHz but rather only to 5.1 (on my system it shows 5.13GHz) which seems accurate reviewing AMD's documentation. Therefore I think there is a bug when it comes to reporting actual core frequency with 6.8 kernel BUT in spite of that it works 'correctly'. 6.9 kernel w/o the patch does not boost single core to 5.1GHz (stays at 4.3GHz range) but reports frequencies correctly ... with the patch both boost and reporting is accurate.

Hi, Perry, yes - I think with the fix correct/accurate frequencies are shown. However, as you see - it shows the same max single core frequency for all the cores though in my experimenting some cores boost more then the others. With kernel 6.8 though system worked well reporting showed incorrect max frequencies BUT it had correctly guessed max single core frequency for each of the cores. I think with the patch, maximum value is taken for ALL the cores... I don't think it impacts ME but some folks (and maybe some other CPUs) depend on scheduler making the best possible decision on which core to put a thread on and it does that probably based on number of factors o/w one might be - how fast can this core run. With this patch - all cores look equally good ... so I am not an expert nor familier with intricacies - this patch DOES fix the bug where CPU is not able to boost any of the cores ... so that is fixed and max frequency shown is also accurate :) hope this comment helps, rather then bring more confusion !

The 5.1GHz is the max frequency each core can reach, even the core can boost frequency sometimes, the max still is 5.1GHz, the different highest perf values of cores are not used for cpufreq boosting, it is used for other design purpose, so the frequency works well now. please send test-by flags to the patch set if possible. thanks.

Thank you ! Yeah it got merged already in 6.10, no concerns now. (In reply to Mario Limonciello (AMD) from comment #45) > Yeah it got merged already in 6.10, no concerns now. Not sure if important - but saw it was not in 6.9.1 ... would be great to get it into 6.9.2 as it's a regression ... I am ok with custom compiling 6.9.x and applying patch to it but maybe number of linux distros will use 6.9.x and out of the box it won't work for them as well as it should ? It's in the stable queue and will be in an upcoming 6.9.y release. (In reply to Mario Limonciello (AMD) from comment #47) > It's in the stable queue and will be in an upcoming 6.9.y release. Thumbs-up !!! :) Thank you all !!!

If I am running 6.8, I can run higher clock speeds on some cores as shown above. Additionally I can pin work to those cores forcing to run at 6076Mhz. Its been stable without issues. I have been staying on 6.8 waiting for fix but it seems one won't be coming ? Sorry 5132Mhz, not 5312Mhz It seems Ryzen AI 9 processors also need this patch. My HX 365 can theoretically boost to 5.0 GHz, but the maximum frequency shown is only 4.32 GHz. If anyone still has problems, please open a new ticket that works stand-alone (short references to this one are fine) and afterwards drop a link to it here, as this one has become confusing[1]; when doing so, also mention if things worked in earlier kernel versions -- and please CC me if they did.

There is a change from 6.8 kernel to 6.9-rc which causes AMD Ryzen 7840HS CPU not to be able to boost single core CPU. Geekbench single core score is approx 15% lower (2265 vs 2538). The problem does not show with kernel 6.8 or 6.7. It is irrelevant whether kernel command line has amd-pstate-epp driver loaded as active or passive or guide. Simple loading of single core with: cat /dev/zero > /dev/null Shows both in 'htop' as well as with 'turbostat' that in the case of kernel 4.9-rc5 (as well as previous rcX) that CPU boosts single core only to 4.35GHz where with previous kernels it goes as high as 5.1GHz. Here are the outputs of lscpu, and turbopower while running 'cat /dev/zero > /dev/null' 1st with 6.8 kernel (working ok) and than with 6.9-rc5 kernel which has a problem Hint if it helps - lscpu already shows maximum frequency as 4350Mhz with 6.9-rc kernels ----- zh@muc:~$ uname -a Linux muc 6.8.7-060807-generic #202404170934 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Apr 17 09:46:48 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux zh@muc:~$ sudo lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Address sizes: 48 bits physical, 48 bits virtual Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 16 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-15 Vendor ID: AuthenticAMD BIOS Vendor ID: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
