qemu-system-ppc64 can handle both big and little endian kernels.
While some setups, like Debian, provide a symlink to execute
qemu-system-ppc64 as qemu-system-ppc64le, others, like ArchLinux, do not.
So always use qemu-system-ppc64 directly.

Hi all:
The core frequency is subjected to the process variation in semiconductors.
Not all cores are able to reach the maximum frequency respecting the
infrastructure limits. Consequently, AMD has redefined the concept of
maximum frequency of a part. This means that a fraction of cores can reach
maximum frequency. To find the best process scheduling policy for a given
scenario, OS needs to know the core ordering informed by the platform through
highest performance capability register of the CPPC interface.
Earlier implementations of amd-pstate preferred core only support a static
core ranking and targeted performance. Now it has the ability to dynamically
change the preferred core based on the workload and platform conditions and
accounting for thermals and aging.
Amd-pstate driver utilizes the functions and data structures provided by
the ITMT architecture to enable the scheduler to favor scheduling on cores
which can be get a higher frequency with lower voltage.
We call it amd-pstate preferred core.
Here sched_set_itmt_core_prio() is called to set priorities and
sched_set_itmt_support() is called to enable ITMT feature.
Amd-pstate driver uses the highest performance value to indicate
the priority of CPU. The higher value has a higher priority.
Amd-pstate driver will provide an initial core ordering at boot time.
It relies on the CPPC interface to communicate the core ranking to the
operating system and scheduler to make sure that OS is choosing the cores
with highest performance firstly for scheduling the process. When amd-pstate
driver receives a message with the highest performance change, it will
update the core ranking.

2.34.1
Hi all,
This series implements the Permission Overlay Extension introduced in 2022
VMSA enhancements [1]. It is based on v6.6-rc3.
The Permission Overlay Extension allows to constrain permissions on memory
regions. This can be used from userspace (EL0) without a system call or TLB
invalidation.
POE is used to implement the Memory Protection Keys [2] Linux syscall.
The first few patches add the basic framework, then the PKEYS interface is
implemented, and then the selftests are made to work on arm64.
There was discussion about what the 'default' protection key value should be,
I used disallow-all (apart from pkey 0), which matches what x86 does.
Patch 15 contains a call to cpus_have_const_cap(), which I couldn't avoid
until Mark's patch to re-order when the alternatives were applied [3] is
committed.
The KVM part isn't tested yet.
I have tested the modified protection_keys test on x86_64 [4], but not PPC.
Hopefully I have CC'd everyone correctly.
Thanks,
Joey

2.25.1
Write_schemata() uses fprintf() to write a bitmask into a schemata file
inside resctrl FS. It checks fprintf() return value but it doesn't check
fclose() return value. Error codes from fprintf() such as write errors,
are buffered and flushed back to the user only after fclose() is executed
which means any invalid bitmask can be written into the schemata file.
Rewrite write_schemata() to use syscalls instead of stdio file
operations to avoid the buffering.
The resctrlfs.c defines functions that interact with the resctrl FS
while resctrl_val.c defines functions that perform measurements on
the cache. Run_benchmark() fits logically into the second file before
resctrl_val() that uses it.
Move run_benchmark() from resctrlfs.c to resctrl_val.c and remove
redundant part of the kernel-doc comment. Make run_benchmark() static
and remove it from the header file.
Patch series is based on [1] which is based on [2] which are based on
kselftest next branch.
