cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut: Disable dynamic_epp after the mode switch

2026-05-26T10:39:28+00:00

Dan reported a possible NULL pointer dereference in amd-pstate-ut.c from
static analysis and sure enough, running amd-pstate-ut in active mode
with amd_dynamic_epp=enable results in a crash as a reult of the policy
reference being set to NULL early, before disabling dynamic EPP.

Kalpana also reported seeing amd-pstate-ut error out with -EBUSY for
"amd_pstate_ut_epp" test when starting from the passive mode and
amd_dynamic_epp=enable in the command line. The reason for the failure
is that the command line enables dynamic_epp by default after the mode
switch and the modifications to EPP values are blocked when running in
dynamic EPP mode.

Solution to both problems is to toggle off dynamic_epp *after* the mode
switch when the driver grabs the policy reference again since the unit
test is in full control of the policy after that point.

The final restoration step will reset the dynamic_epp state via mode
switch based on the initial conditions of the system.

cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut: Drop policy reference before driver switch

2026-05-08T05:30:50+00:00

Recent changes to the EPP unit test tries to perform a driver switch
with a cpufreq_policy reference held when the driver is loaded into
anything but the active mode which leads to a circular dependency and
the unit test hanging indefinitely.

Drop the reference before driver switch and grab it back once the driver
mode is stabilized for the test.

The EPP writes are only possible with CPUFREQ_POLICY_POWERSAVE policy.
Temporarily switch the cpudata->policy (while holding the write end of
the policy->rwsem) to CPUFREQ_POLICY_POWERSAVE and restore the original
policy once tests are done. To ensure the final EPP is correct in case
the driver started with CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE, EPP performance is
tested last.

The __free() based cleanup for cpufreq_policy is lost in the process.

cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut: Add a unit test for raw EPP

2026-04-02T16:30:19+00:00

Ensure that all supported raw EPP values work properly.

Export the driver helpers used by the test module so the test can drive
raw EPP writes and temporarily disable dynamic EPP while it runs.

amd-pstate-ut: Add a testcase to validate the visibility of driver attributes

2026-04-02T16:28:40+00:00

amd-pstate driver has per-attribute visibility functions to
dynamically control which sysfs freq_attrs are exposed based on the
platform capabilities and the current amd_pstate mode. However, there
is no test coverage to validate that the driver's live attribute list
matches the expected visibility for each mode.

Add amd_pstate_ut_check_freq_attrs() to the amd-pstate unit test
module. For each enabled mode (passive, active, guided), the test
independently derives the expected visibility of each attribute:
  - Core attributes (max_freq, lowest_nonlinear_freq, highest_perf)
    are always expected.
  - Prefcore attributes (prefcore_ranking, hw_prefcore) are expected
    only when cpudata->hw_prefcore indicates platform support.
  - EPP attributes (energy_performance_preference,
    energy_performance_available_preferences) are expected only in
    active mode.
  - Floor frequency attributes (floor_freq, floor_count) are expected
    only when X86_FEATURE_CPPC_PERF_PRIO is present.

Compare these independent expectations against the live driver's attr
array, catching bugs such as attributes leaking into wrong modes or
visibility functions checking incorrect conditions.

amd-pstate-ut: Add module parameter to select testcases

2026-04-02T16:28:35+00:00

Currently when amd-pstate-ut test module is loaded, it runs all the
tests from amd_pstate_ut_cases[] array.

Add a module parameter named "test_list" that accepts a
comma-delimited list of test names, allowing users to run a
selected subset of tests. When the parameter is omitted or empty, all
tests are run as before.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Once again, the changes are dominated by cpufreq updates, but this
  time the majority of them are cpufreq core changes, mostly related to
  the introduction of policy locking guards and __free() usage, and
  fixes related to boost handling.

  Still, there is also a significant update of the intel_pstate driver
  making it register an energy model when running on a hybrid platform
  which is used for enabling energy-aware scheduling (EAS) if the driver
  operates in the passive mode (and schedutil is used as the cpufreq
  governor for all CPUs which is the passive mode default).

  There are some amd-pstate driver updates too, for a good measure,
  including the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option support and
  new online/offline callbacks.

  In the cpuidle space, the most significant change is the addition of a
  C1 demotion on/off sysfs knob to intel_idle which should help some
  users to configure their systems more precisely. There is also the
  conversion of the PSCI cpuidle driver to a faux device one and there
  are two small updates of cpuidle governors.

  Device power management is also modified quite a bit, especially the
  handling of devices with asynchronous suspend and resume enabled
  during system transitions. They are now going to be handled more
  asynchronously during suspend transitions and somewhat less
  aggressively during resume transitions.

  Apart from the above, the operating performance points (OPP) library
  is now going to use mutex locking guards and scope-based cleanup
  helpers and there is the usual bunch of assorted fixes and code
  cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Fix potential division-by-zero error in em_compute_costs() (Yaxiong
     Tian)

   - Fix typos in energy model documentation and example driver code
     (Moon Hee Lee, Atul Kumar Pant)

   - Rearrange the energy model management code and add a new function
     for adjusting a CPU energy model after adjusting the capacity of
     the given CPU to it (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Refactor cpufreq_online(), add and use cpufreq policy locking
     guards, use __free() in policy reference counting, and clean up
     core cpufreq code on top of that (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Fix boost handling on CPU suspend/resume and sysfs updates (Viresh
     Kumar)

   - Fix des_perf clamping with max_perf in amd_pstate_update()
     (Dhananjay Ugwekar)

   - Add offline, online and suspend callbacks to the amd-pstate driver,
     rename and use the existing amd_pstate_epp callbacks in it
     (Dhananjay Ugwekar)

   - Add support for the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option to
     the amd-pstate driver (Dhananjay Ugwekar)

   - Reset amd-pstate driver mode after running selftests (Swapnil
     Sapkal)

   - Avoid shadowing ret in amd_pstate_ut_check_driver() (Nathan
     Chancellor)

   - Add helper for governor checks to the schedutil cpufreq governor
     and move cpufreq-specific EAS checks to cpufreq (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Populate the cpu_capacity sysfs entries from the intel_pstate
     driver after registering asym capacity support (Ricardo Neri)

   - Add support for enabling Energy-aware scheduling (EAS) to the
     intel_pstate driver when operating in the passive mode on a hybrid
     platform (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Drop redundant cpus_read_lock() from store_local_boost() in the

     CPPC cpufreq driver (Lifeng Zheng)

   - OPP: Add dev_pm_opp_set_level() (Praveen Talari)

cpufreq/amd-pstate: Avoid shadowing ret in amd_pstate_ut_check_driver()

2025-05-13T16:12:44+00:00

Clang warns (or errors with CONFIG_WERROR=y):

  drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut.c:262:6: error: variable 'ret' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
    262 |         if (ret)
        |             ^~~

ret is declared at the top of the function and in the for loop so the
initialization of ret is local to the loop. Remove the declaration in
the for loop so that ret is always used initialized.
