Subject: [PATCH v3] cpufreq/amd-pstate: Skip auto_sel write when it already matches the mode
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:09:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918090909.86544-1-guanwentao@uniontech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <c3eb86bd-70a6-4bb2-8eff-b2a3c0817514@amd.com>
Since commit 9dfd13f80c85 ("cpufreq/amd-pstate: Toggle auto_sel in active
mode on shared memory systems"), shmem_init_perf() programs
AUTONOMOUS_SELECTION_ENABLE unconditionally, including in active mode.
Platforms that exclusively support autonomous selection report this field
as an Integer of 1, as required by the ACPI specification, instead of as a
register descriptor. cppc_get_reg_val() reads such a field back
successfully, but cppc_set_reg_val() rejects the write with -EOPNOTSUPP
because the entry is not an ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER.
shmem_init_perf() propagates that error, so every amd_pstate_epp_cpu_init()
fails, cpufreq_register_driver() ends up with an empty policy list and
returns -ENODEV, and amd-pstate refuses to load at all:
amd_pstate: failed to set auto_sel, ret: -95
amd_pstate: Failed to initialize CPU 0: -95
...
amd_pstate: failed to register with return -19
Skip the write when the register already holds the value the requested mode
needs. Active and guided mode are fixed on these platforms, which report
auto_sel as 1, while passive mode still fails to load on a platform that
cannot disable autonomous selection, exactly as it did before the
offending commit.
