Subject: [PATCH v6 2/2] cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: report filtered-out P-states in extract_msr()
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 22:07:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114140724.2336-3-lirongqing@baidu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114140724.2336-1-lirongqing@baidu.com>

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com>

extract_msr() maps the status value read from the hardware to a
frequency by walking policy->freq_table.  freq_table[] is built by
filtering out _PSS entries that are not lower in frequency than the
previous one, so firmware may autonomously switch the CPU to a P-state
that has no freq_table entry.  The status of such a P-state cannot be
matched and extract_msr() falls back to freq_table[0].frequency.

get_cur_freq_on_cpu() is the ->get() callback for the
ACPI_ADR_SPACE_FIXED_HARDWARE case.  When firmware has changed the
P-state behind the OS's back, it sets data->resume so that the next
->target() call rewrites the control register even if the requested
P-state equals perf->state.  However, acpi_cpufreq_target() is reached
only if the cpufreq core sees a difference between the requested
frequency and policy->cur, because __cpufreq_driver_target() and
__target_index() return early when target_freq == policy->cur.
policy->cur is resynchronized from the ->get() value by
cpufreq_verify_current_freq(), so the frequency returned by ->get()
has to differ from policy->cur for data->resume to be acted upon in
the ->target_index() path.

If the OS is at the P-state corresponding to freq_table[0] and firmware
switches the CPU to a filtered-out P-state, the fallback makes ->get()
return the same frequency as policy->cur and cached_freq.  data->resume
is left clear, policy->cur is not updated, and the CPU stays at the
firmware-selected P-state while the cpufreq core believes it is at
freq_table[0].

Look the status up in all of perf->states[] instead and return the
frequency of the matching ACPI P-state.  For P-states retained in
freq_table[] this returns the same value as before, because the
frequency of each freq_table entry is perf->states[driver_data]
.core_frequency converted to kHz.  For a filtered-out P-state whose
frequency differs from policy->cur, get_cur_freq_on_cpu() now sets
data->resume and the cpufreq core updates policy->cur through
cpufreq_out_of_sync(), so the next request for the expected P-state
reaches acpi_cpufreq_target() and rewrites the control register.

The fallback to freq_table[0].frequency is kept for a status that
matches no _PSS entry at all, since returning 0 from ->get() makes
cpufreq_online() fail and triggers a warning in cpufreq_update_policy().
A filtered-out P-state with the same frequency as policy->cur is still
not detected through the ->target_index() path, but in that case the
CPU runs at the frequency the cpufreq core expects.

extract_io() is not changed: for ACPI_ADR_SPACE_SYSTEM_IO no ->get()
callback is registered and extract_io() is only used by check_freqs().
