From 964209202ebe1569c858337441e87ef0f9d71416 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Rui rui.zhang@intel.com Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2025 15:13:40 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] powercap: intel_rapl: Do not change CLAMPING bit if ENABLE bit cannot be changed
PL1 cannot be disabled on some platforms. The ENABLE bit is still set after software clears it. This behavior leads to a scenario where, upon user request to disable the Power Limit through the powercap sysfs, the ENABLE bit remains set while the CLAMPING bit is inadvertently cleared.
According to the Intel Software Developer's Manual, the CLAMPING bit, "When set, allows the processor to go below the OS requested P states in order to maintain the power below specified Platform Power Limit value."
Thus this means the system may operate at higher power levels than intended on such platforms.
Enhance the code to check ENABLE bit after writing to it, and stop further processing if ENABLE bit cannot be changed.
