Why is this needed: Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited. People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have happened by: - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq - thermal limitations - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to: - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits frequency - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs. While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations. All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch: - powernow-k8 - powernow-k7 - acpi-cpufreq Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1) via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit: # echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 2600000 2600000 2200000 2200000 # #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations # cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit 2600000 2600000 2800000 2800000 # #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation CC: Pallipadi Venkatesh CC: Len Brown CC: davej@codemonkey.org.uk CC: linux@dominikbrodowski.net Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Dave Jones diff --git a/Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt b/Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt index 2a5b850..04f6b32 100644 --- a/Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt +++ b/Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt @@ -203,6 +203,17 @@ scaling_cur_freq : Current frequency of the CPU as determined by the frequency the kernel thinks the CPU runs at. +bios_limit : If the BIOS tells the OS to limit a CPU to + lower frequencies, the user can read out the + maximum available frequency from this file. + This typically can happen through (often not + intended) BIOS settings, restrictions + triggered through a service processor or other + BIOS/HW based implementations. + This does not cover thermal ACPI limitations + which can be detected through the generic + thermal driver. + If you have selected the "userspace" governor which allows you to set the CPU operating frequency to a specific value, you can read out the current frequency in diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c index 8b581d3..d2e7c77 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c @@ -764,14 +764,15 @@ static struct freq_attr *acpi_cpufreq_attr[] = { };
