AMD HSMP interface
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
Newer Fam19h EPYC server line of processors from AMD support system
|
|
management functionality via HSMP (Host System Management Port).
|
|
|
|
The Host System Management Port (HSMP) is an interface to provide
|
|
OS-level software with access to system management functions via a
|
|
set of mailbox registers.
|
|
|
|
More details on the interface can be found in chapter
|
|
"7 Host System Management Port (HSMP)" of the family/model PPR
|
|
Eg: https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/55898_B1_pub_0.50.zip
|
|
|
|
HSMP interface is supported on EPYC server CPU models only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HSMP device
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
amd_hsmp driver under the drivers/platforms/x86/ creates miscdevice
|
|
/dev/hsmp to let user space programs run hsmp mailbox commands.
|
|
|
|
$ ls -al /dev/hsmp
|
|
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 10, 123 Jan 21 21:41 /dev/hsmp
|
|
|
|
Characteristics of the dev node:
|
|
* Write mode is used for running set/configure commands
|
|
* Read mode is used for running get/status monitor commands
|
|
|
|
Access restrictions:
|
|
* Only root user is allowed to open the file in write mode.
|
|
* The file can be opened in read mode by all the users.
|
|
|
|
In-kernel integration:
|
|
* Other subsystems in the kernel can use the exported transport
|
|
function hsmp_send_message().
|
|
* Locking across callers is taken care by the driver.

HSMP sysfs interface
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
1. Metrics table binary sysfs
|
|
|
|
AMD MI300A MCM provides GET_METRICS_TABLE message to retrieve
|
|
most of the system management information from SMU in one go.
|
|
|
|
The metrics table is made available as hexadecimal sysfs binary file
|
|
under per socket sysfs directory created at
|
|
/sys/devices/platform/amd_hsmp/socket%d/metrics_bin
|
|
|
|
Note: lseek() is not supported as entire metrics table is read.
|
|
|
|
Metrics table definitions will be documented as part of Public PPR.
|
|
The same is defined in the amd_hsmp.h header.
|
|
|
|
|
|
An example
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
To access hsmp device from a C program.
|
|
First, you need to include the headers::
|
|
|
|
#include <linux/amd_hsmp.h>
|
|
|
|
Which defines the supported messages/message IDs.
|
|
|
|
Next thing, open the device file, as follows::
|
|
|
|
int file;
|
|
|
|
file = open("/dev/hsmp", O_RDWR);
|
|
if (file < 0) {
|
|
/* ERROR HANDLING; you can check errno to see what went wrong */
|
|
exit(1);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The following IOCTL is defined:
|
|
|
|
``ioctl(file, HSMP_IOCTL_CMD, struct hsmp_message *msg)``
|
|
The argument is a pointer to a::
|
|
|
|
struct hsmp_message {
|
|
__u32 msg_id; /* Message ID */
|
|
__u16 num_args; /* Number of input argument words in message */
|
|
__u16 response_sz; /* Number of expected output/response words */
|
|
__u32 args[HSMP_MAX_MSG_LEN]; /* argument/response buffer */
|
|
__u16 sock_ind; /* socket number */
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
The ioctl would return a non-zero on failure; you can read errno to see
|
|
what happened. The transaction returns 0 on success.
|
|
|
|

|
