x86/cpufeatures: Add AMD CPPC Performance Priority feature.

2026-04-02T16:28:21Z

Some future AMD processors have feature named "CPPC Performance Priority" which lets userspace specify different floor performance levels for different CPUs. The platform firmware takes these different floor performance levels into consideration while throttling the CPUs under power/thermal constraints. The presence of this feature is indicated by bit 16 of the EDX register for CPUID leaf 0x80000007. More details can be found in AMD Publication titled "AMD64 Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) Performance Priority" Revision 1.10. Define a new feature bit named X86_FEATURE_CPPC_PERF_PRIO to map to CPUID 0x80000007.EDX[16]. Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

tools/x86/kcpuid: Update bitfields to x86-cpuid-db v3.0

2026-03-28T16:28:35Z

Update kcpuid's CSV to version 3.0, as generated by x86-cpuid-db. Summary of the v2.5 changes: - Reduce the verbosity of leaf and bitfields descriptions, as formerly requested by Boris. - Leaf 0x8000000a: Add Page Modification Logging (PML) bit. Summary of the v3.0 changes: - Leaf 0x23: Introduce subleaf 2, Auto Counter Reload (ACR) - Leaf 0x23: Introduce subleaf 4/5, PEBS capabilities and counters - Leaf 0x1c: Return LBR depth as a bitmask instead of individual bits - Leaf 0x0a: Use more descriptive PMU bitfield names - Leaf 0x0a: Add various missing PMU events - Leaf 0x06: Add missing IA32_HWP_CTL flag - Leaf 0x0f: Add missing non-CPU (IO) Intel RDT bits Thanks to Dave Hansen for reporting multiple missing bits.
