Re: [PATCH V5 3/7] cpufreq: amd-pstate: Enable amd-pstate preferred core supporting.

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 preferrred 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.

The initial core rankings are set up by amd-pstate when the system boots.

Add device attribute for hardware preferred core. It will check if the processor and power firmware support preferred core feature.

Add device attribute for preferred core. Only when hardware supports preferred core and user set `enabled` in early parameter, it can be set to enabled.

Add one new early parameter `disable` to allow user to disable the preferred core.

I think you should use prefcore which embeds into cpudata structure instead of global variable. Here, actually, you walked through all online cpus, the last cpu's status will overwrite the previous one.

Is there any requirement from user space (cpupower or other tool) to query the capacity at runtime? In fact, we can simplify the codes that use a print in the kernel to let user know whether current cpu supports prefcore in hardware side.

Thanks, Ray
