![]() An SoC can contain multiple power domains with individual or collection of mesh partitions. This partition is called fabric cluster. Certain type of meshes will need to run at the same frequency, they will be placed in the same fabric cluster. Benefit of fabric cluster is that it offers a scalable mechanism to deal with partitioned fabrics in a SoC. The current sysfs interface supports control at package and die level. This interface is not enough to support more granular control at fabric cluster level. SoCs with the support of TPMI (Topology Aware Register and PM Capsule Interface), can have multiple power domains. Each power domain can contain one or more fabric clusters. To support such granular controls, enhance uncore common to optionally create new directories to provide controls at fabric cluster level. It is also important to have flexibility to change granularity for future version of SoCs. If the directory name contains scope like: "package_*_die_*_power_domain_*_cluster_*", then this is not expandable. The cpufreq policies also have different scopes. There the scope of the policy (affected_cpus) specified by attributes inside each policy. So, follow the same model for uncore frequency scaling sysfs as: "sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*" Allow client drivers to optionally support granular control for each fabric cluster. Here, the directory name will be "uncore" suffixed with an unique instance number. For example: uncore00, uncore01 etc. Attributes in the directory identify package id, power domain and fabric cluster id. This interface is expandable even if some new level of granularity is introduced. A new sysfs attribute can identify new level. For compatibility with the existing sysfs and provide easy way to set limits for each fabric cluster in the package/die, the existing control at package/die levels are still provided. For majority of users, this is an easy approach. For example: On a single package/die system, with three power domains and one fabric cluster per power domain: $tree -L 2 /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_uncore_frequency/ /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_uncore_frequency/ ├── package_00_die_00 │ ├── current_freq_khz │ ├── initial_max_freq_khz │ ├── initial_min_freq_khz │ ├── max_freq_khz │ └── min_freq_khz ├── uncore00 │ ├── current_freq_khz │ ├── domain_id │ ├── fabric_cluster_id │ ├── initial_max_freq_khz │ ├── initial_min_freq_khz │ ├── max_freq_khz │ ├── min_freq_khz │ └── package_id ├── uncore01 │ ├── current_freq_khz │ ├── domain_id │ ├── fabric_cluster_id │ ├── initial_max_freq_khz │ ├── initial_min_freq_khz │ ├── max_freq_khz │ ├── min_freq_khz │ └── package_id └── uncore02 ├── current_freq_khz ├── domain_id ├── fabric_cluster_id ├── initial_max_freq_khz ├── initial_min_freq_khz ├── max_freq_khz ├── min_freq_khz └── package_id The attribute for cluster id is "fabric_cluster_id" instead of just "cluster_id" is to avoid confusion with usage of term clusters in other part of the Linux kernel.
