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 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.
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
All packets in the same flow (L3/L4 depending on multipath hash policy)
should be directed to the same target, but after [0]/[1] we see stray
packets directed towards other targets. This, for instance, causes RST
to be sent on TCP connections.
The first two patches solve the problem by ignoring route hints for
destinations that are part of multipath group, by using new SKB flags
for IPv4 and IPv6. The third patch is a selftest that tests the
scenario.
Thanks to Ido, for reviewing and suggesting a way forward in [2] and
also suggesting how to write a selftest for this.

- Add NULL check for skb in fib6_select_path (Ido Schimmel)
- Use fib_tests.sh for selftest instead of the forwarding suite (Ido

Use "static_keys" (name of the test itself) consistently instead of mixing
"static_key" and "static_keys" at the beginning of the messages in the
test_static_keys script.

This single-patch series fixes a minor inconsistency in the
'test_static_keys' script from the static_keys selftest. As a general
rule, the selftest name is provided at the beginning of every log
message.
Apply the selftest name for all log messages consequently.

Now we have memory space available to a kunit test case log exposed via
debugfs limited to 2048 bytes, while some parametrized test cases, e.g.,
drm_framebuffer.drm_test_framebuffer_create, need more. For this reason,
debugfs results from affected test cases get truncated silently, and
external tools that rely on parsing of debugfs results can fail.
Increase kunit test case log size limit to 4096 bytes.

This was prompted by the discussion about output directory support with
O=.
It seems sometimes we were pulling in system headers making testing
annoying and unreliable.

Hello everyone,
This patch series adds a test attributes framework to KUnit.
There has been interest in filtering out "slow" KUnit tests. Most notably,
a new config, CONFIG_MEMCPY_SLOW_KUNIT_TEST, has been added to exclude a
particularly slow memcpy test
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230118200653.give.574-kees@kernel.org/).
This attributes framework can be used to save and access test associated
data, including whether a test is slow. These attributes are reportable
(via KTAP and command line output) and are also filterable.
This framework is designed to allow for the addition of other attributes in
the future. These attributes could include whether the test can be run
concurrently, test file path, etc.
To try out the framework I suggest running:
"./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --filter speed!=slow"
This patch series was originally sent out as an RFC. Here is a link to the
RFC v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230707210947.1208717-1-rmoar@google.com/
Thanks!
