===============================================
``intel_pstate`` CPU Performance Scaling Driver
===============================================
::
Copyright (c) 2017 Intel Corp., Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
General Information
===================
``intel_pstate`` is a part of the
:doc:`CPU performance scaling subsystem <cpufreq>` in the Linux kernel
(``CPUFreq``). It is a scaling driver for the Sandy Bridge and later
generations of Intel processors. Note, however, that some of those processors
may not be supported. [To understand ``intel_pstate`` it is necessary to know
how ``CPUFreq`` works in general, so this is the time to read :doc:`cpufreq` if
you have not done that yet.]
For the processors supported by ``intel_pstate``, the P-state concept is broader
than just an operating frequency or an operating performance point (see the
`LinuxCon Europe 2015 presentation by Kristen Accardi <LCEU2015_>`_ for more
information about that). For this reason, the representation of P-states used
by ``intel_pstate`` internally follows the hardware specification (for details
refer to `Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual
Volume 3: System Programming Guide <SDM_>`_). However, the ``CPUFreq`` core
uses frequencies for identifying operating performance points of CPUs and
frequencies are involved in the user space interface exposed by it, so
``intel_pstate`` maps its internal representation of P-states to frequencies too
(fortunately, that mapping is unambiguous). At the same time, it would not be
practical for ``intel_pstate`` to supply the ``CPUFreq`` core with a table of
available frequencies due to the possible size of it, so the driver does not do
that. Some functionality of the core is limited by that.
Since the hardware P-state selection interface used by ``intel_pstate`` is
available at the logical CPU level, the driver always works with individual
CPUs. Consequently, if ``intel_pstate`` is in use, every ``CPUFreq`` policy
object corresponds to one logical CPU and ``CPUFreq`` policies are effectively
equivalent to CPUs. In particular, this means that they become "inactive" every
time the corresponding CPU is taken offline and need to be re-initialized when
it goes back online.
``intel_pstate`` is not modular, so it cannot be unloaded, which means that the
only way to pass early-configuration-time parameters to it is via the kernel
command line. However, its configuration can be adjusted via ``sysfs`` to a
great extent. In some configurations it even is possible to unregister it via
``sysfs`` which allows another ``CPUFreq`` scaling driver to be loaded and
registered (see `below <status_attr_>`_).
Operation Modes
===============
``intel_pstate`` can operate in three different modes: in the active mode with
or without hardware-managed P-states support and in the passive mode. Which of
them will be in effect depends on what kernel command line options are used and
on the capabilities of the processor.
Active Mode
-----------
This is the default operation mode of ``intel_pstate``. If it works in this
mode, the ``scaling_driver`` policy attribute in ``sysfs`` for all ``CPUFreq``
policies contains the string "intel_pstate".
In this mode the driver bypasses the scaling governors layer of ``CPUFreq`` and
provides its own scaling algorithms for P-state selection. Those algorithms
can be applied to ``CPUFreq`` policies in the same way as generic scaling
governors (that is, through the ``scaling_governor`` policy attribute in
``sysfs``). [Note that different P-state selection algorithms may be chosen for
different policies, but that is not recommended.]
They are not generic scaling governors, but their names are the same as the
names of some of those governors. Moreover, confusingly enough, they generally
do not work in the same way as the generic governors they share the names with.
For example, the ``powersave`` P-state selection algorithm provided by
``intel_pstate`` is not a counterpart of the generic ``powersave`` governor
(roughly, it corresponds to the ``schedutil`` and ``ondemand`` governors).
There are two P-state selection algorithms provided by ``intel_pstate`` in the
active mode: ``powersave`` and ``performance``. The way they both operate
depends on whether or not the hardware-managed P-states (HWP) feature has been
enabled in the processor and possibly on the processor model.
Which of the P-state selection algorithms is used by default depends on the
:c:macro:`CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE` kernel configuration option.
Namely, if that option is set, the ``performance`` algorithm will be used by
default, and the other one will be used by default if it is not set.
Active Mode With HWP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the processor supports the HWP feature, it will be enabled during the
processor initialization and cannot be disabled after that. It is possible
to avoid enabling it by passing the ``intel_pstate=no_hwp`` argument to the
kernel in the command line.
If the HWP feature has been enabled, ``intel_pstate`` relies on the processor to
select P-states by itself, but still it can give hints to the processor's
internal P-state selection logic. What those hints are depends on which P-state
selection algorithm has been applied to the given policy (or to the CPU it
corresponds to).
Even though the P-state selection is carried out by the processor automatically,
``intel_pstate`` registers utilization update callbacks with the CPU scheduler
in this mode. However, they are not used for running a P-state selection
algorithm, but for periodic updates of the current CPU frequency information to
be made available from the ``scaling_cur_freq`` policy attribute in ``sysfs``.
HWP + ``performance``
.....................
In this configuration ``intel_pstate`` will write 0 to the processor's
Energy-Performance Preference (EPP) knob (if supported) or its
Energy-Performance Bias (EPB) knob (otherwise), which means that the processor's
internal P-state selection logic is expected to focus entirely on performance.
This will override the EPP/EPB setting coming from the ``sysfs`` interface
(see `Energy vs Performance Hints`_ below).
Also, in this configuration the range of P-states available to the processor's
internal P-state selection logic is always restricted to the upper boundary
(that is, the maximum P-state that the driver is allowed to use).
HWP + ``powersave``
...................
In this configuration ``intel_pstate`` will set the processor's
Energy-Performance Preference (EPP) knob (if supported) or its
Energy-Performance Bias (EPB) knob (otherwise) to whatever value it was
previously set to via ``sysfs`` (or whatever default value it was
set to by the platform firmware). This usually causes the processor's
internal P-state selection logic to be less performance-focused.
Active Mode Without HWP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the default operation mode for processors that do not support the HWP
feature. It also is used by default with the ``intel_pstate=no_hwp`` argument
in the kernel command line. However, in this mode ``intel_pstate`` may refuse
to work with the given processor if it does not recognize it. [Note that
``intel_pstate`` will never refuse to work with any processor with the HWP
feature enabled.]
In this mode ``intel_pstate`` registers utilization update callbacks with the
CPU scheduler in order to run a P-state selection algorithm, either
``powersave`` or ``performance``, depending on the ``scaling_cur_freq`` policy
setting in ``sysfs``. The current CPU frequency information to be made
available from the ``scaling_cur_freq`` policy attribute in ``sysfs`` is
periodically updated by those utilization update callbacks too.
``performance``
...............
Without HWP, this P-state selection algorithm is always the same regardless of
the processor model and platform configuration.
It selects the maximum P-state it is allowed to use, subject to limits set via
``sysfs``, every time the P-state selection computations are carried out by the
driver's utilization update callback for the given CPU (that does not happen
more often than every 10 ms), but the hardware configuration will not be changed
if the new P-state is the same as the current one.
This is the default P-state selection algorithm if the
:c:macro:`CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE` kernel configuration option
is set.
``powersave``
.............
Without HWP, this P-state selection algorithm generally depends on the
processor model and/or the system profile setting in the ACPI tables and there
are two variants of it.
One of them is used with processors from the Atom line and (regardless of the
processor model) on platforms with the system profile in the ACPI tables set to
"mobile" (laptops mostly), "tablet", "appliance PC", "desktop", or
"workstation". It is also used with processors supporting the HWP feature if
that feature has not been enabled (that is, with the ``intel_pstate=no_hwp``
argument in the kernel command line). It is similar to the algorithm
implemented by the generic ``schedutil`` scaling governor except that the
utilization metric used by it is based on numbers coming from feedback
registers of the CPU. It generally selects P-states proportional to the
current CPU utilization, so it is referred to as the "proportional" algorithm.
The second variant of the ``powersave`` P-state selection algorithm, used in all
of the other cases (generally, on processors from the Core line, so it is
referred to as the "Core" algorithm), is based on the values read from the APERF
and MPERF feedback registers and the previously requested target P-state.
It does not really take CPU utilization into account explicitly, but as a rule
it causes the CPU P-state to ramp up very quickly in response to increased
utilization which is generally desirable in server environments.
Regardless of the variant, this algorithm is run by the driver's utilization
update callback for the given CPU when it is invoked by the CPU scheduler, but
not more often than every 10 ms (that can be tweaked via ``debugfs`` in `this
particular case <Tuning Interface in debugfs_>`_). Like in the ``performance``
case, the hardware configuration is not touched if the new P-state turns out to
be the same as the current one.
This is the default P-state selection algorithm if the
:c:macro:`CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE` kernel configuration option
is not set.
Passive Mode
------------
This mode is used if the ``intel_pstate=passive`` argument is passed to the
kernel in the command line (it implies the ``intel_pstate=no_hwp`` setting too).
Like in the active mode without HWP support, in this mode ``intel_pstate`` may
refuse to work with the given processor if it does not recognize it.
If the driver works in this mode, the ``scaling_driver`` policy attribute in
``sysfs`` for all ``CPUFreq`` policies contains the string "intel_cpufreq".
Then, the driver behaves like a regular ``CPUFreq`` scaling driver. That is,
it is invoked by generic scaling governors when necessary to talk to the
hardware in order to change the P-state of a CPU (in particular, the
``schedutil`` governor can invoke it directly from scheduler context).
While in this mode, ``intel_pstate`` can be used with all of the (generic)
scaling governors listed by the ``scaling_available_governors`` policy attribute
in ``sysfs`` (and the P-state selection algorithms described above are not
used). Then, it is responsible for the configuration of policy objects
corresponding to CPUs and provides the ``CPUFreq`` core (and the scaling
governors attached to the policy objects) with accurate information on the
maximum and minimum operating frequencies supported by the hardware (including
the so-called "turbo" frequency ranges). In other words, in the passive mode
the entire range of available P-states is exposed by ``intel_pstate`` to the
``CPUFreq`` core. However, in this mode the driver does not register
utilization update callbacks with the CPU scheduler and the ``scaling_cur_freq``
information comes from the ``CPUFreq`` core (and is the last frequency selected
by the current scaling governor for the given policy).
.. _turbo:
Turbo P-states Support
======================
In the majority of cases, the entire range of P-states available to
``intel_pstate`` can be divided into two sub-ranges that correspond to
different types of processor behavior, above and below a boundary that
will be referred to as the "turbo threshold" in what follows.
The P-states above the turbo threshold are referred to as "turbo P-states" and
the whole sub-range of P-states they belong to is referred to as the "turbo
range". These names are related to the Turbo Boost technology allowing a
multicore processor to opportunistically increase the P-state of one or more
cores if there is enough power to do that and if that is not going to cause the
thermal envelope of the processor package to be exceeded.
Specifically, if software sets the P-state of a CPU core within the turbo range
(that is, above the turbo threshold), the processor is permitted to take over
performance scaling control for that core and put it into turbo P-states of its
choice going forward. However, that permission is interpreted differently by
different processor generations. Namely, the Sandy Bridge generation of
processors will never use any P-states above the last one set by software for
the given core, even if it is within the turbo range, whereas all of the later
processor generations will take it as a license to use any P-states from the
turbo range, even above the one set by software. In other words, on those
processors setting any P-state from the turbo range will enable the processor
to put the given core into all turbo P-states up to and including the maximum
supported one as it sees fit.
One important property of turbo P-states is that they are not sustainable. More
precisely, there is no guarantee that any CPUs will be able to stay in any of
those states indefinitely, because the power distribution within the processor
package may change over time or the thermal envelope it was designed for might
be exceeded if a turbo P-state was used for too long.
In turn, the P-states below the turbo threshold generally are sustainable. In
fact, if one of them is set by software, the processor is not expected to change
it to a lower one unless in a thermal stress or a power limit violation
situation (a higher P-state may still be used if it is set for another CPU in
the same package at the same time, for example).
Some processors allow multiple cores to be in turbo P-states at the same time,
but the maximum P-state that can be set for them generally depends on the number
of cores running concurrently. The maximum turbo P-state that can be set for 3
cores at the same time usually is lower than the analogous maximum P-state for
2 cores, which in turn usually is lower than the maximum turbo P-state that can
be set for 1 core. The one-core maximum turbo P-state is thus the maximum
supported one overall.
The maximum supported turbo P-state, the turbo threshold (the maximum supported
non-turbo P-state) and the minimum supported P-state are specific to the
processor model and can be determined by reading the processor's model-specific
registers (MSRs). Moreover, some processors support the Configurable TDP
(Thermal Design Power) feature and, when that feature is enabled, the turbo
threshold effectively becomes a configurable value that can be set by the
platform firmware.
Unlike ``_PSS`` objects in the ACPI tables, ``intel_pstate`` always exposes
the entire range of available P-states, including the whole turbo range, to the
``CPUFreq`` core and (in the passive mode) to generic scaling governors. This
generally causes turbo P-states to be set more often when ``intel_pstate`` is
used relative to ACPI-based CPU performance scaling (see `below <acpi-cpufreq_>`_
for more information).
Moreover, since ``intel_pstate`` always knows what the real turbo threshold is
(even if the Configurable TDP feature is enabled in the processor), its
``no_turbo`` attribute in ``sysfs`` (described `below <no_turbo_attr_>`_) should
work as expected in all cases (that is, if set to disable turbo P-states, it
always should prevent ``intel_pstate`` from using them).
Processor Support
=================
To handle a given processor ``intel_pstate`` requires a number of different
pieces of information on it to be known, including:
* The minimum supported P-state.
* The maximum supported `non-turbo P-state <turbo_>`_.
* Whether or not turbo P-states are supported at all.
* The maximum supported `one-core turbo P-state <turbo_>`_ (if turbo P-states
are supported).
* The scaling formula to translate the driver's internal representation
of P-states into frequencies and the other way around.
Generally, ways to obtain that information are specific to the processor model
or family. Although it often is possible to obtain all of it from the processor
itself (using model-specific registers), there are cases in which hardware
manuals need to be consulted to get to it too.
For this reason, there is a list of supported processors in ``intel_pstate`` and
the driver initialization will fail if the detected processor is not in that
list, unless it supports the `HWP feature <Active Mode_>`_. [The interface to
obtain all of the information listed above is the same for all of the processors
supporting the HWP feature, which is why they all are supported by
``intel_pstate``.]
User Space Interface in ``sysfs``
=================================
Global Attributes
-----------------
``intel_pstate`` exposes several global attributes (files) in ``sysfs`` to
control its functionality at the system level. They are located in the
``/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/intel_pstate/`` directory and affect all
CPUs.
Some of them are not present if the ``intel_pstate=per_cpu_perf_limits``
argument is passed to the kernel in the command line.
``max_perf_pct``
Maximum P-state the driver is allowed to set in percent of the
maximum supported performance level (the highest supported `turbo
P-state <turbo_>`_).
This attribute will not be exposed if the
``intel_pstate=per_cpu_perf_limits`` argument is present in the kernel
command line.
``min_perf_pct``
Minimum P-state the driver is allowed to set in percent of the
maximum supported performance level (the highest supported `turbo
P-state <turbo_>`_).
This attribute will not be exposed if the
``intel_pstate=per_cpu_perf_limits`` argument is present in the kernel
command line.
``num_pstates``
Number of P-states supported by the processor (between 0 and 255
inclusive) including both turbo and non-turbo P-states (see
`Turbo P-states Support`_).
The value of this attribute is not affected by the ``no_turbo``
setting described `below <no_turbo_attr_>`_.
This attribute is read-only.
``turbo_pct``
Ratio of the `turbo range <turbo_>`_ size to the size of the entire
range of supported P-states, in percent.
This attribute is read-only.
.. _no_turbo_attr:
``no_turbo``
If set (equal to 1), the driver is not allowed to set any turbo P-states
(see `Turbo P-states Support`_). If unset (equalt to 0, which is the
default), turbo P-states can be set by the driver.
[Note that ``intel_pstate`` does not support the general ``boost``
attribute (supported by some other scaling drivers) which is replaced
by this one.]
This attrubute does not affect the maximum supported frequency value
supplied to the ``CPUFreq`` core and exposed via the policy interface,
but it affects the maximum possible value of per-policy P-state limits
(see `Interpretation of Policy Attributes`_ below for details).
.. _status_attr:
``status``
Operation mode of the driver: "active", "passive" or "off".
"active"
The driver is functional and in the `active mode
<Active Mode_>`_.
"passive"
The driver is functional and in the `passive mode
<Passive Mode_>`_.
"off"
The driver is not functional (it is not registered as a scaling
driver with the ``CPUFreq`` core).
This attribute can be written to in order to change the driver's
operation mode or to unregister it. The string written to it must be
one of the possible values of it and, if successful, the write will
cause the driver to switch over to the operation mode represented by
that string - or to be unregistered in the "off" case. [Actually,
switching over from the active mode to the passive mode or the other
way around causes the driver to be unregistered and registered again
with a different set of callbacks, so all of its settings (the global
as well as the per-policy ones) are then reset to their default
values, possibly depending on the target operation mode.]
That only is supported in some configurations, though (for example, if
the `HWP feature is enabled in the processor <Active Mode With HWP_>`_,
the operation mode of the driver cannot be changed), and if it is not
supported in the current configuration, writes to this attribute with
fail with an appropriate error.
Interpretation of Policy Attributes
-----------------------------------
The interpretation of some ``CPUFreq`` policy attributes described in
:doc:`cpufreq` is special with ``intel_pstate`` as the current scaling driver
and it generally depends on the driver's `operation mode <Operation Modes_>`_.
First of all, the values of the ``cpuinfo_max_freq``, ``cpuinfo_min_freq`` and
``scaling_cur_freq`` attributes are produced by applying a processor-specific
multiplier to the internal P-state representation used by ``intel_pstate``.
Also, the values of the ``scaling_max_freq`` and ``scaling_min_freq``
attributes are capped by the frequency corresponding to the maximum P-state that
the driver is allowed to set.
If the ``no_turbo`` `global attribute <no_turbo_attr_>`_ is set, the driver is
not allowed to use turbo P-states, so the maximum value of ``scaling_max_freq``
and ``scaling_min_freq`` is limited to the maximum non-turbo P-state frequency.
Accordingly, setting ``no_turbo`` causes ``scaling_max_freq`` and
``scaling_min_freq`` to go down to that value if they were above it before.
However, the old values of ``scaling_max_freq`` and ``scaling_min_freq`` will be
restored after unsetting ``no_turbo``, unless these attributes have been written
to after ``no_turbo`` was set.
If ``no_turbo`` is not set, the maximum possible value of ``scaling_max_freq``
and ``scaling_min_freq`` corresponds to the maximum supported turbo P-state,
which also is the value of ``cpuinfo_max_freq`` in either case.
Next, the following policy attributes have special meaning if
``intel_pstate`` works in the `active mode <Active Mode_>`_:
``scaling_available_governors``
List of P-state selection algorithms provided by ``intel_pstate``.
``scaling_governor``
P-state selection algorithm provided by ``intel_pstate`` currently in
use with the given policy.
``scaling_cur_freq``
Frequency of the average P-state of the CPU represented by the given
policy for the time interval between the last two invocations of the
driver's utilization update callback by the CPU scheduler for that CPU.
The meaning of these attributes in the `passive mode <Passive Mode_>`_ is the
same as for other scaling drivers.
Additionally, the value of the ``scaling_driver`` attribute for ``intel_pstate``
depends on the operation mode of the driver. Namely, it is either
"intel_pstate" (in the `active mode <Active Mode_>`_) or "intel_cpufreq" (in the
`passive mode <Passive Mode_>`_).
Coordination of P-State Limits
------------------------------
``intel_pstate`` allows P-state limits to be set in two ways: with the help of
the ``max_perf_pct`` and ``min_perf_pct`` `global attributes
<Global Attributes_>`_ or via the ``scaling_max_freq`` and ``scaling_min_freq``
``CPUFreq`` policy attributes. The coordination between those limits is based
on the following rules, regardless of the current operation mode of the driver:
1. All CPUs are affected by the global limits (that is, none of them can be
requested to run faster than the global maximum and none of them can be
requested to run slower than the global minimum).
2. Each individual CPU is affected by its own per-policy limits (that is, it
cannot be requested to run faster than its own per-policy maximum and it
cannot be requested to run slower than its own per-policy minimum).
3. The global and per-policy limits can be set independently.
If the `HWP feature is enabled in the processor <Active Mode With HWP_>`_, the
resulting effective values are written into its registers whenever the limits
change in order to request its internal P-state selection logic to always set
P-states within these limits. Otherwise, the limits are taken into account by
scaling governors (in the `passive mode <Passive Mode_>`_) and by the driver
every time before setting a new P-state for a CPU.
Additionally, if the ``intel_pstate=per_cpu_perf_limits`` command line argument
is passed to the kernel, ``max_perf_pct`` and ``min_perf_pct`` are not exposed
at all and the only way to set the limits is by using the policy attributes.
Energy vs Performance Hints
---------------------------
If ``intel_pstate`` works in the `active mode with the HWP feature enabled
<Active Mode With HWP_>`_ in the processor, additional attributes are present
in every ``CPUFreq`` policy directory in ``sysfs``. They are intended to allow
user space to help ``intel_pstate`` to adjust the processor's internal P-state
selection logic by focusing it on performance or on energy-efficiency, or
somewhere between the two extremes:
``energy_performance_preference``
Current value of the energy vs performance hint for the given policy
(or the CPU represented by it).
The hint can be changed by writing to this attribute.
``energy_performance_available_preferences``
List of strings that can be written to the
``energy_performance_preference`` attribute.
They represent different energy vs performance hints and should be
self-explanatory, except that ``default`` represents whatever hint
value was set by the platform firmware.
Strings written to the ``energy_performance_preference`` attribute are
internally translated to integer values written to the processor's
Energy-Performance Preference (EPP) knob (if supported) or its
Energy-Performance Bias (EPB) knob.
[Note that tasks may by migrated from one CPU to another by the scheduler's
load-balancing algorithm and if different energy vs performance hints are
set for those CPUs, that may lead to undesirable outcomes. To avoid such
issues it is better to set the same energy vs performance hint for all CPUs
or to pin every task potentially sensitive to them to a specific CPU.]
.. _acpi-cpufreq:
``intel_pstate`` vs ``acpi-cpufreq``
====================================
On the majority of systems supported by ``intel_pstate``, the ACPI tables
provided by the platform firmware contain ``_PSS`` objects returning information
that can be used for CPU performance scaling (refer to the `ACPI specification`_
for details on the ``_PSS`` objects and the format of the information returned
by them).
The information returned by the ACPI ``_PSS`` objects is used by the
``acpi-cpufreq`` scaling driver. On systems supported by ``intel_pstate``
the ``acpi-cpufreq`` driver uses the same hardware CPU performance scaling
interface, but the set of P-states it can use is limited by the ``_PSS``
output.
On those systems each ``_PSS`` object returns a list of P-states supported by
the corresponding CPU which basically is a subset of the P-states range that can
be used by ``intel_pstate`` on the same system, with one exception: the whole
`turbo range <turbo_>`_ is represented by one item in it (the topmost one). By
convention, the frequency returned by ``_PSS`` for that item is greater by 1 MHz
than the frequency of the highest non-turbo P-state listed by it, but the
corresponding P-state representation (following the hardware specification)
returned for it matches the maximum supported turbo P-state (or is the
special value 255 meaning essentially "go as high as you can get").
The list of P-states returned by ``_PSS`` is reflected by the table of
available frequencies supplied by ``acpi-cpufreq`` to the ``CPUFreq`` core and
scaling governors and the minimum and maximum supported frequencies reported by
it come from that list as well. In particular, given the special representation
of the turbo range described above, this means that the maximum supported
frequency reported by ``acpi-cpufreq`` is higher by 1 MHz than the frequency
of the highest supported non-turbo P-state listed by ``_PSS`` which, of course,
affects decisions made by the scaling governors, except for ``powersave`` and
``performance``.
For example, if a given governor attempts to select a frequency proportional to
estimated CPU load and maps the load of 100% to the maximum supported frequency
(possibly multiplied by a constant), then it will tend to choose P-states below
the turbo threshold if ``acpi-cpufreq`` is used as the scaling driver, because
in that case the turbo range corresponds to a small fraction of the frequency
band it can use (1 MHz vs 1 GHz or more). In consequence, it will only go to
the turbo range for the highest loads and the other loads above 50% that might
benefit from running at turbo frequencies will be given non-turbo P-states
instead.
One more issue related to that may appear on systems supporting the
`Configurable TDP feature <turbo_>`_ allowing the platform firmware to set the
turbo threshold. Namely, if that is not coordinated with the lists of P-states
returned by ``_PSS`` properly, there may be more than one item corresponding to
a turbo P-state in those lists and there may be a problem with avoiding the
turbo range (if desirable or necessary). Usually, to avoid using turbo
P-states overall, ``acpi-cpufreq`` simply avoids using the topmost state listed
by ``_PSS``, but that is not sufficient when there are other turbo P-states in
the list returned by it.
Apart from the above, ``acpi-cpufreq`` works like ``intel_pstate`` in the
`passive mode <Passive Mode_>`_, except that the number of P-states it can set
is limited to the ones listed by the ACPI ``_PSS`` objects.
Kernel Command Line Options for ``intel_pstate``
================================================
Several kernel command line options can be used to pass early-configuration-time
parameters to ``intel_pstate`` in order to enforce specific behavior of it. All
of them have to be prepended with the ``intel_pstate=`` prefix.
``disable``
Do not register ``intel_pstate`` as the scaling driver even if the
processor is supported by it.
``passive``
Register ``intel_pstate`` in the `passive mode <Passive Mode_>`_ to
start with.
This option implies the ``no_hwp`` one described below.
``force``
Register ``intel_pstate`` as the scaling driver instead of
``acpi-cpufreq`` even if the latter is preferred on the given system.
This may prevent some platform features (such as thermal controls and
power capping) that rely on the availability of ACPI P-states
information from functioning as expected, so it should be used with
caution.
This option does not work with processors that are not supported by
``intel_pstate`` and on platforms where the ``pcc-cpufreq`` scaling
driver is used instead of ``acpi-cpufreq``.
``no_hwp``
Do not enable the `hardware-managed P-states (HWP) feature
<Active Mode With HWP_>`_ even if it is supported by the processor.
``hwp_only``
Register ``intel_pstate`` as the scaling driver only if the
`hardware-managed P-states (HWP) feature <Active Mode With HWP_>`_ is
supported by the processor.
``support_acpi_ppc``
Take ACPI ``_PPC`` performance limits into account.
If the preferred power management profile in the FADT (Fixed ACPI
Description Table) is set to "Enterprise Server" or "Performance
Server", the ACPI ``_PPC`` limits are taken into account by default
and this option has no effect.
``per_cpu_perf_limits``
Use per-logical-CPU P-State limits (see `Coordination of P-state
Limits`_ for details).
Diagnostics and Tuning
======================
Trace Events
------------
There are two static trace events that can be used for ``intel_pstate``
diagnostics. One of them is the ``cpu_frequency`` trace event generally used
by ``CPUFreq``, and the other one is the ``pstate_sample`` trace event specific
to ``intel_pstate``. Both of them are triggered by ``intel_pstate`` only if
it works in the `active mode <Active Mode_>`_.
The following sequence of shell commands can be used to enable them and see
their output (if the kernel is generally configured to support event tracing)::
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# echo 1 > events/power/pstate_sample/enable
# echo 1 > events/power/cpu_frequency/enable
# cat trace
gnome-terminal--4510 [001] ..s. 1177.680733: pstate_sample: core_busy=107 scaled=94 from=26 to=26 mperf=1143818 aperf=1230607 tsc=29838618 freq=2474476
cat-5235 [002] ..s. 1177.681723: cpu_frequency: state=2900000 cpu_id=2
If ``intel_pstate`` works in the `passive mode <Passive Mode_>`_, the
``cpu_frequency`` trace event will be triggered either by the ``schedutil``
scaling governor (for the policies it is attached to), or by the ``CPUFreq``
core (for the policies with other scaling governors).
``ftrace``
----------
The ``ftrace`` interface can be used for low-level diagnostics of
``intel_pstate``. For example, to check how often the function to set a
P-state is called, the ``ftrace`` filter can be set to to
:c:func:`intel_pstate_set_pstate`::
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# cat available_filter_functions | grep -i pstate
intel_pstate_set_pstate
intel_pstate_cpu_init
...
# echo intel_pstate_set_pstate > set_ftrace_filter

Tuning Interface in ``debugfs``
-------------------------------
The ``powersave`` algorithm provided by ``intel_pstate`` for `the Core line of
processors in the active mode <powersave_>`_ is based on a `PID controller`_
whose parameters were chosen to address a number of different use cases at the
same time. However, it still is possible to fine-tune it to a specific workload
and the ``debugfs`` interface under ``/sys/kernel/debug/pstate_snb/`` is
provided for this purpose. [Note that the ``pstate_snb`` directory will be
present only if the specific P-state selection algorithm matching the interface
in it actually is in use.]
The following files present in that directory can be used to modify the PID
controller parameters at run time:
| ``deadband``
| ``d_gain_pct``
| ``i_gain_pct``
| ``p_gain_pct``
| ``sample_rate_ms``
| ``setpoint``
Note, however, that achieving desirable results this way generally requires
expert-level understanding of the power vs performance tradeoff, so extra care
is recommended when attempting to do that.

Intel P-State driver
--------------------
This driver provides an interface to control the P-State selection for the
SandyBridge+ Intel processors.
The following document explains P-States:
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/LinuxConEurope_2015.pdf
As stated in the document, P-State doesn’t exactly mean a frequency. However, for
the sake of the relationship with cpufreq, P-State and frequency are used
interchangeably.
Understanding the cpufreq core governors and policies are important before
discussing more details about the Intel P-State driver. Based on what callbacks
a cpufreq driver provides to the cpufreq core, it can support two types of
drivers:
- with target_index() callback: In this mode, the drivers using cpufreq core
simply provide the minimum and maximum frequency limits and an additional
interface target_index() to set the current frequency. The cpufreq subsystem
has a number of scaling governors ("performance", "powersave", "ondemand",
etc.). Depending on which governor is in use, cpufreq core will call for
transitions to a specific frequency using target_index() callback.
- setpolicy() callback: In this mode, drivers do not provide target_index()
callback, so cpufreq core can't request a transition to a specific frequency.
The driver provides minimum and maximum frequency limits and callbacks to set a
policy. The policy in cpufreq sysfs is referred to as the "scaling governor".
The cpufreq core can request the driver to operate in any of the two policies:
"performance" and "powersave". The driver decides which frequency to use based
on the above policy selection considering minimum and maximum frequency limits.
The Intel P-State driver falls under the latter category, which implements the
setpolicy() callback. This driver decides what P-State to use based on the
requested policy from the cpufreq core. If the processor is capable of
selecting its next P-State internally, then the driver will offload this
responsibility to the processor (aka HWP: Hardware P-States). If not, the
driver implements algorithms to select the next P-State.
Since these policies are implemented in the driver, they are not same as the
cpufreq scaling governors implementation, even if they have the same name in
the cpufreq sysfs (scaling_governors). For example the "performance" policy is
similar to cpufreq’s "performance" governor, but "powersave" is completely
different than the cpufreq "powersave" governor. The strategy here is similar
to cpufreq "ondemand", where the requested P-State is related to the system load.
Sysfs Interface
In addition to the frequency-controlling interfaces provided by the cpufreq
core, the driver provides its own sysfs files to control the P-State selection.
These files have been added to /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/.
Any changes made to these files are applicable to all CPUs (even in a
multi-package system, Refer to later section on placing "Per-CPU limits").
max_perf_pct: Limits the maximum P-State that will be requested by
the driver. It states it as a percentage of the available performance. The
available (P-State) performance may be reduced by the no_turbo
setting described below.
min_perf_pct: Limits the minimum P-State that will be requested by
the driver. It states it as a percentage of the max (non-turbo)
performance level.
no_turbo: Limits the driver to selecting P-State below the turbo
frequency range.
turbo_pct: Displays the percentage of the total performance that
is supported by hardware that is in the turbo range. This number
is independent of whether turbo has been disabled or not.
num_pstates: Displays the number of P-States that are supported
by hardware. This number is independent of whether turbo has
been disabled or not.
For example, if a system has these parameters:
Max 1 core turbo ratio: 0x21 (Max 1 core ratio is the maximum P-State)
Max non turbo ratio: 0x17
Minimum ratio : 0x08 (Here the ratio is called max efficiency ratio)
Sysfs will show :
max_perf_pct:100, which corresponds to 1 core ratio
min_perf_pct:24, max_efficiency_ratio / max 1 Core ratio
no_turbo:0, turbo is not disabled
num_pstates:26 = (max 1 Core ratio - Max Efficiency Ratio + 1)
turbo_pct:39 = (max 1 core ratio - max non turbo ratio) / num_pstates
Refer to "Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual
Volume 3: System Programming Guide" to understand ratios.
There is one more sysfs attribute in /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/
that can be used for controlling the operation mode of the driver:
status: Three settings are possible:
"off" - The driver is not in use at this time.
"active" - The driver works as a P-state governor (default).
"passive" - The driver works as a regular cpufreq one and collaborates
with the generic cpufreq governors (it sets P-states as
requested by those governors).
The current setting is returned by reads from this attribute. Writing one
of the above strings to it changes the operation mode as indicated by that
string, if possible. If HW-managed P-states (HWP) are enabled, it is not
possible to change the driver's operation mode and attempts to write to
this attribute will fail.
cpufreq sysfs for Intel P-State
Since this driver registers with cpufreq, cpufreq sysfs is also presented.
There are some important differences, which need to be considered.
scaling_cur_freq: This displays the real frequency which was used during
the last sample period instead of what is requested. Some other cpufreq driver,
like acpi-cpufreq, displays what is requested (Some changes are on the
way to fix this for acpi-cpufreq driver). The same is true for frequencies
displayed at /proc/cpuinfo.
scaling_governor: This displays current active policy. Since each CPU has a
cpufreq sysfs, it is possible to set a scaling governor to each CPU. But this
is not possible with Intel P-States, as there is one common policy for all
CPUs. Here, the last requested policy will be applicable to all CPUs. It is
suggested that one use the cpupower utility to change policy to all CPUs at the
same time.
scaling_setspeed: This attribute can never be used with Intel P-State.
scaling_max_freq/scaling_min_freq: This interface can be used similarly to
the max_perf_pct/min_perf_pct of Intel P-State sysfs. However since frequencies
are converted to nearest possible P-State, this is prone to rounding errors.
This method is not preferred to limit performance.
affected_cpus: Not used
related_cpus: Not used
For contemporary Intel processors, the frequency is controlled by the
processor itself and the P-State exposed to software is related to
performance levels. The idea that frequency can be set to a single
frequency is fictional for Intel Core processors. Even if the scaling
driver selects a single P-State, the actual frequency the processor
will run at is selected by the processor itself.
Per-CPU limits
The kernel command line option "intel_pstate=per_cpu_perf_limits" forces
the intel_pstate driver to use per-CPU performance limits. When it is set,
the sysfs control interface described above is subject to limitations.
- The following controls are not available for both read and write
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
- The following controls can be used to set performance limits, as far as the
architecture of the processor permits:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
- User can still observe turbo percent and number of P-States from
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/turbo_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/num_pstates
- User can read write system wide turbo status
/sys/devices/system/cpu/no_turbo
Support of energy performance hints
It is possible to provide hints to the HWP algorithms in the processor
to be more performance centric to more energy centric. When the driver
is using HWP, two additional cpufreq sysfs attributes are presented for
each logical CPU.
These attributes are:
- energy_performance_available_preferences
- energy_performance_preference
To get list of supported hints:
$ cat energy_performance_available_preferences
default performance balance_performance balance_power power
The current preference can be read or changed via cpufreq sysfs
attribute "energy_performance_preference". Reading from this attribute
will display current effective setting. User can write any of the valid
preference string to this attribute. User can always restore to power-on
default by writing "default".
Since threads can migrate to different CPUs, this is possible that the
new CPU may have different energy performance preference than the previous
one. To avoid such issues, either threads can be pinned to specific CPUs
or set the same energy performance preference value to all CPUs.
Tuning Intel P-State driver
When the performance can be tuned using PID (Proportional Integral
Derivative) controller, debugfs files are provided for adjusting performance.
They are presented under:
/sys/kernel/debug/pstate_snb/
The PID tunable parameters are:
deadband
d_gain_pct
i_gain_pct
p_gain_pct
sample_rate_ms
setpoint
To adjust these parameters, some understanding of driver implementation is
necessary. There are some tweeks described here, but be very careful. Adjusting
them requires expert level understanding of power and performance relationship.
These limits are only useful when the "powersave" policy is active.
-To make the system more responsive to load changes, sample_rate_ms can
be adjusted (current default is 10ms).
-To make the system use higher performance, even if the load is lower, setpoint
can be adjusted to a lower number. This will also lead to faster ramp up time
to reach the maximum P-State.
If there are no derivative and integral coefficients, The next P-State will be
equal to:
current P-State - ((setpoint - current cpu load) * p_gain_pct)
For example, if the current PID parameters are (Which are defaults for the core
processors like SandyBridge):
deadband = 0
d_gain_pct = 0
i_gain_pct = 0
p_gain_pct = 20
sample_rate_ms = 10
setpoint = 97
If the current P-State = 0x08 and current load = 100, this will result in the
next P-State = 0x08 - ((97 - 100) * 0.2) = 8.6 (rounded to 9). Here the P-State
goes up by only 1. If during next sample interval the current load doesn't
change and still 100, then P-State goes up by one again. This process will
continue as long as the load is more than the setpoint until the maximum P-State
is reached.
For the same load at setpoint = 60, this will result in the next P-State
= 0x08 - ((60 - 100) * 0.2) = 16
So by changing the setpoint from 97 to 60, there is an increase of the
next P-State from 9 to 16. So this will make processor execute at higher
P-State for the same CPU load. If the load continues to be more than the
setpoint during next sample intervals, then P-State will go up again till the
maximum P-State is reached. But the ramp up time to reach the maximum P-State
will be much faster when the setpoint is 60 compared to 97.
Debugging Intel P-State driver
Event tracing
To debug P-State transition, the Linux event tracing interface can be used.
There are two specific events, which can be enabled (Provided the kernel
configs related to event tracing are enabled).
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# echo 1 > events/power/pstate_sample/enable
# echo 1 > events/power/cpu_frequency/enable
# cat trace

cat-5235 [002] ..s. 1177.681723: cpu_frequency: state=2900000 cpu_id=2
Using ftrace
If function level tracing is required, the Linux ftrace interface can be used.
For example if we want to check how often a function to set a P-State is
called, we can set ftrace filter to intel_pstate_set_pstate.
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# cat available_filter_functions | grep -i pstate
intel_pstate_set_pstate
intel_pstate_cpu_init
