Subject: [PATCH v6 1/2] ACPI: CPPC: Add ospm_nominal_perf support
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 03:23:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717215330.2215058-2-sumitg@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717215330.2215058-1-sumitg@nvidia.com>

Expose the OSPM Nominal Performance register (ACPI 6.6, Section
8.4.6.1.2.6), which conveys the desired nominal performance level
at which the platform may run. Unlike the existing read-only
Nominal Performance register, it is writable and lets OSPM
request a lower nominal level than the platform-reported nominal.
The platform classifies performance above this level as boosted
and below as throttled for its power/thermal decisions.

It is exposed as a per-policy cpufreq sysfs attribute in kHz, to
match the cpufreq sysfs unit convention:

  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/ospm_nominal_freq

The attribute is documented in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu.

Writes are converted to perf via cppc_khz_to_perf(), validated
against [Lowest Performance, Nominal Performance], and applied to
the policy->cpu. The register is assumed shared across the
policy->cpus.

On read, the current register value is returned, or
"<unsupported>" if the platform does not implement the register.

Also add the register to the OSPM-set register save/restore
table, so its value survives CPU hotplug and reverts to the
firmware value on driver unload, like the other registers in
the table.

+Description:	OSPM Nominal Performance (kHz)
+
+		OSPM uses this attribute to request a nominal performance
+		level lower than the platform-reported nominal. The
+		platform treats performance above this level as boost
+		and below as throttle for power and thermal decisions.
+
+		Read returns the current value in kHz, or "<unsupported>"
+		if the platform does not implement the register. Write a
+		kHz value in the range [lowest_freq, nominal_freq].
+
+		Note that tasks may be migrated from one CPU to another
+		by the scheduler's load-balancing algorithm, and if
+		different OSPM Nominal Performance values are set for
+		those CPUs (through different cpufreq policies), that may
+		lead to undesirable outcomes. To avoid such issues it is
+		better to set the same value across all policies, or to
+		pin every task potentially sensitive to it to a specific
+		CPU.
