acpi-cpufreq vs amd-pstate

[Grey]

So, I compiled kernel 5.17.1 with amd-pstate support. I found the CPPC setting in the BIOS.

Here I realized that the module is disabled by default. However, I really wanted to try But it didn't work out. I tried to give priority to one module over another, then I tried to add amd_pstate.enable=1 amd_pstate.shared_mem=1 parameters to Grub.

It didn't work. It gives out as before:

Code: Select all

root# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver
acpi-cpufreq

If someone succeeds, please tell me how

You do have AMD CPU right? As well it looks for this _CPC entry, so if it doesn't exist it will fallback to the one you did not want. It may also be that acpi-cpufreq starts up faster than amd-pstate meaning you need to add this:

Code: Select all

initcall_blacklist=acpi_cpufreq_init

I read the article and looked at the tests from Michael.
In principle, everything is as I expected. At the moment, amd_pstate is no better than its "acpi colleague".
