Unit Tests for amd-pstate
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
``amd-pstate-ut`` is a test module for testing the ``amd-pstate`` driver.
|
||||
|
||||
* It can help all users to verify their processor support (SBIOS/Firmware or Hardware).
|
||||
|
||||
* Kernel can have a basic function test to avoid the kernel regression during the update.
|
||||
|
||||
* We can introduce more functional or performance tests to align the result together, it will benefit power and performance scale optimization.

| | || AMD P-States and ACPI hardware P-States always can be supported in one processor. |
|
||||
| | | But AMD P-States has the higher priority and if it is enabled with |
|
||||
| | | :c:macro:`MSR_AMD_CPPC_ENABLE` or ``cppc_set_enable``, it will respond to the |

#. How to execute the tests
|
||||
|
||||
We use test module in the kselftest frameworks to implement it.
|
||||
We create amd-pstate-ut module and tie it into kselftest.(for
|
||||
details refer to Linux Kernel Selftests [4]_).
|
||||
|
||||
1. Build
|
||||
|
||||
+ open the :c:macro:`CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE` configuration option.
|
||||
+ set the :c:macro:`CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE_UT` configuration option to M.
|
||||
+ make project
|
||||
+ make selftest ::
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd linux
|
||||
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests
|
||||
|
||||
#. Installation & Steps ::
|
||||
|
||||
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests install INSTALL_PATH=~/kselftest
|
||||
$ sudo ./kselftest/run_kselftest.sh -c amd-pstate
