From 73860c6b2fd159a35637e233d735e36887c266ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 21:56:42 +0200 Subject: powernow-k8: Add core performance boost support Starting with F10h, revE, AMD processors add support for a dynamic core boosting feature called Core Performance Boost. When a specific condition is present, a subset of the cores on a system are boosted beyond their P0 operating frequency to speed up the performance of single-threaded applications. In the normal case, the system comes out of reset with core boosting enabled. This patch adds a sysfs knob with which core boosting can be switched on or off for benchmarking purposes. While at it, make the CPB code hotplug-aware so that taking cores offline wouldn't interfere with boosting the remaining online cores. Furthermore, add cpu_online_mask hotplug protection as suggested by Andrew. Finally, cleanup the driver init codepath and update copyrights.
