Subject: [PATCH 0/8] enable x86_energy_perf_policy for AMD CPU


Hi all,
This patch series introduces support for the x86_energy_perf_policy utility on AMD processors that
utilize the CPPC (Collaborative Processor Performance Control) interface for frequency scaling,
using the amd_pstate driver module. AMD processors already support various
Energy Performance Preference (EPP) profiles. With this utility, users can now seamlessly
switch between these EPP profiles using the provided commands. And check the CPPC capabilities
with this tool.
This enhancement aims to improve power efficiency and performance management for AMD processors,
providing users with more control over their system's energy-performance behavior.

There are some EPP profile already support by AMD processors, user can
switch EPP profile listed below with the utility commands.

User can change EPP profile like this:
$ sudo x86_energy_perf_policy --hwp-epp performance
$ sudo x86_energy_perf_policy --hwp-epp balance-performance
$ sudo x86_energy_perf_policy --hwp-epp balance_power
$ sudo x86_energy_perf_policy --hwp-epp power

0 performance
128 balance_performance (default)
192 balance_power
255 power


It also supports to check CPPC capabilities and change EPP profiles
at runtime.
