Introduction
------------

Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework (DPTF) is a platform
level hardware/software solution for power and thermal management.

As a container for multiple power/thermal technologies, DPTF provides
a coordinated approach for different policies to effect the hardware
state of a system.

Since it is a platform level framework, this has several components.
Some parts of the technology is implemented in the firmware and uses
ACPI and PCI devices to expose various features for monitoring and
control. Linux has a set of kernel drivers exposing hardware interface
to user space. This allows user space thermal solutions like
"Linux Thermal Daemon" to read platform specific thermal and power
tables to deliver adequate performance while keeping the system under
thermal limits.

DPTF Processor thermal RFIM interface
--------------------------------------------

RFIM interface allows adjustment of FIVR (Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator),
DDR (Double Data Rate) and DLVR (Digital Linear Voltage Regulator)
frequencies to avoid RF interference with WiFi and 5G.

Switching voltage regulators (VR) generate radiated EMI or RFI at the
fundamental frequency and its harmonics. Some harmonics may interfere
with very sensitive wireless receivers such as Wi-Fi and cellular that
are integrated into host systems like notebook PCs.  One of mitigation
methods is requesting SOC integrated VR (IVR) switching frequency to a
small % and shift away the switching noise harmonic interference from
radio channels.  OEM or ODMs can use the driver to control SOC IVR
operation within the range where it does not impact IVR performance.

Some products use DLVR instead of FIVR as switching voltage regulator.
In this case attributes of DLVR must be adjusted instead of FIVR.

While shifting the frequencies additional clock noise can be introduced,
which is compensated by adjusting Spread spectrum percent. This helps
to reduce the clock noise to meet regulatory compliance. This spreading
% increases bandwidth of signal transmission and hence reduces the
effects of interference, noise and signal fading.

DRAM devices of DDR IO interface and their power plane can generate EMI
at the data rates. Similar to IVR control mechanism, Intel offers a
mechanism by which DDR data rates can be changed if several conditions
are met: there is strong RFI interference because of DDR; CPU power
management has no other restriction in changing DDR data rates;
PC ODMs enable this feature (real time DDR RFI Mitigation referred to as
DDR-RFIM) for Wi-Fi from BIOS.

Workload Type Hints
----------------------------------------

The firmware in Meteor Lake processor generation is capable of identifying
workload type and passing hints regarding it to the OS. A special sysfs
interface is provided to allow user space to obtain workload type hints from
the firmware and control the rate at which they are provided.

User space can poll attribute "workload_type_index" for the current hint or
can receive a notification whenever the value of this attribute is updated.

file:`/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:04.0/workload_hint/`
Segment 0, bus 0, device 4, function 0 is reserved for the processor thermal
device on all Intel client processors. So, the above path doesn't change
based on the processor generation.

``workload_hint_enable`` (RW)
	Enable firmware to send workload type hints to user space.

``notification_delay_ms`` (RW)
	Minimum delay in milliseconds before firmware will notify OS. This is
	for the rate control of notifications. This delay is between changing
	the workload type prediction in the firmware and notifying the OS about
	the change. The default delay is 1024 ms. The delay of 0 is invalid.
	The delay is rounded up to the nearest power of 2 to simplify firmware
	programming of the delay value. The read of notification_delay_ms
	attribute shows the effective value used.

``workload_type_index`` (RO)
	Predicted workload type index. User space can get notification of
	change via existing sysfs attribute change notification mechanism.

	The supported index values and their meaning for the Meteor Lake
	processor generation are as follows:

	0 -  Idle: System performs no tasks, power and idle residency are
		consistently low for long periods of time.

	1 – Battery Life: Power is relatively low, but the processor may
		still be actively performing a task, such as video playback for
		a long period of time.

	2 – Sustained: Power level that is relatively high for a long period
		of time, with very few to no periods of idleness, which will
		eventually exhaust RAPL Power Limit 1 and 2.

	3 – Bursty: Consumes a relatively constant average amount of power, but
		periods of relative idleness are interrupted by bursts of
		activity. The bursts are relatively short and the periods of
		relative idleness between them typically prevent RAPL Power
		Limit 1 from being exhausted.

	4 – Unknown: Can't classify.
