            Bug ID: 78111
           Summary: APU turbo core boost not working when radeon.dpm=1
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.14.6
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)
          Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: bgz.marko@gmail.com
        Regression: No

I am testing with A6-1450 APU on Arch Linux. If I pass radeon.dpm=1 parameter
at boot and start a single core workload then turbostat will report max
frequency of about 1000 MHz:

    Core     CPU Avg_MHz Bzy_MHz TSC_MHz   time 
       -       -     262     998     998      5**
       0       0      12     998     998      5**
       1       1     998     998     998
       2       2      16     998     998
       3       3      21     998     998

"cpupower frequency-info" reports that boost state support is supported, but
not active:

  boost state support:
    Supported: yes
    Active: no


However, when dynamic power management is disabled (radeon.dpm=0), turbostat
reports higher frequencies for single core load, up to 1300 Mhz:

    Core     CPU Avg_MHz Bzy_MHz TSC_MHz   time 
       -       -     320    1214     998      5**
       0       0       9    1226     998      5**
       1       1      13    1194     998
       2       2      41    1143     998
       3       3    1216    1216     998

"cpupower frequency-info" confirms that boost is now active.

  boost state support:
    Supported: yes
    Active: yes

enable bapm

The attached patch will allow the GPU and CPU to share TDP, but note that this
is disabled by default at the moment.

I reported basicalle the same thing in bug #62861.
How dangerous can this change be?
As in would i have to worry about frying the APU?

You may get system or GPU hangs, but it shouldn't fry anything.

Thanks Alex. The patch that enables bapm works. Boost state is now active.
Frequency gets boosted in single core workloads. 

Are there any plans to make 'bapm' tunable via boot parameters or /sys?

We can probably enable it by default on KV/KB systems at some point.  It had
some stability issues on trinity APUs so I disabled it across the board, so it
remains to be seen if there are any problems with newer APUs.

Does plugging/unplugging the AC adapter cause any problems with bapm enabled? 
The reason it was disabled on TN/RL parts is because there were hangs on some
systems when switching to/from AC power.

I've been using enable_bapm for a day now, here are my observations:

* There are no issues regarding lockups. Not even when plugging/unplugging AC
adapter or sleeping/resuming.

* Boost state is active on boot regardless of AC begin plugged or not. However,
boost will get deactivated if at a later time AC is deplugged, and get
activated again on plugging. While this may make sense in some situations, I
prefer boost being always active, so for the time being I just changed the
relevant code so it's always on. I guess it would make sense for it to be an
option that could be tuned.

* There is some strange behaviour associated with this particular APU
(A6-1450). This is probably not Linux specific as I've seen reports on it for
Windows too. After boot turbo would only work for a single core and up to
1.3Ghz. But after doing a sleep/resume cycle turbo works for all 4 cores and up
to full 1.4Ghz (the difference is also quite audible since the fans go wild).
As if available TDP would somehow get much bigger after sleep/resume.
