Subject: [PATCH v6 10/11] Documentation: introduce amd pstate active mode kernel command line options
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2022 15:47:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221202074719.623673-11-perry.yuan@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221202074719.623673-1-perry.yuan@amd.com>

AMD Pstate driver support another firmware based autonomous mode
with "amd_pstate=active" added to the kernel command line.
In autonomous mode SMU firmware decides frequencies at 1 ms timescale
based on workload utilization, usage in other IPs, infrastructure
limits such as power, thermals and so on.
