platform/x86: hfi: Introduce AMD Hardware Feedback Interface Driver The AMD Heterogeneous core design and Hardware Feedback Interface (HFI) provide behavioral classification and a dynamically updated ranking table for the scheduler to use when choosing cores for tasks. There are two CPU core types defined: Classic and Dense. Classic cores are the standard performance cores, while Dense cores are optimized for area and efficiency. Heterogeneous compute refers to CPU implementations that are comprised of more than one architectural class, each with two capabilities. This means each CPU reports two separate capabilities: "perf" and "eff". Each capability lists all core ranking numbers between 0 and 255, where a higher number represents a higher capability. Heterogeneous systems can also extend to more than two architectural classes. The purpose of the scheduling feedback mechanism is to provide information to the operating system scheduler in real time, allowing the scheduler to direct threads to the optimal core during task scheduling. All core ranking data are provided by the PMFW via a shared memory ranking table, which the driver reads and uses to update core capabilities to the scheduler. When the hardware updates the table, it generates a platform interrupt to notify the OS to read the new ranking table.

help
Select this option to enable the AMD Heterogeneous Core Hardware
Feedback Interface. If selected, hardware provides runtime thread
classification guidance to the operating system on the performance and
energy efficiency capabilities of each heterogeneous CPU core. These
capabilities may vary due to the inherent differences in the core types
and can also change as a result of variations in the operating
conditions of the system such as power and thermal limits.
