According to the AMD architectural programmer's manual volume 2 [1], in section "17.6.4.1 CPPC_CAPABILITY_1" lowest_nonlinear_perf is described as "Reports the most energy efficient performance level (in terms of performance per watt). Above this threshold, lower performance levels generally result in increased energy efficiency. Reducing performance below this threshold does not result in total energy savings for a given computation, although it reduces instantaneous power consumption". So lowest_nonlinear_perf is the most power efficient performance level, and going below that would lead to a worse performance/watt. Also, setting the minimum frequency to lowest_nonlinear_freq (instead of lowest_freq) allows the CPU to idle at a higher frequency which leads to more time being spent in a deeper idle state (as trivial idle tasks are completed sooner). This has shown a power benefit in some systems, in other systems, power consumption has increased but so has the throughput/watt. Modify the initial policy_data->min set by cpufreq-core to lowest_nonlinear_freq, in the ->verify() callback. Also set the cpudata->req[0] to FREQ_QOS_MIN_DEFAULT_VALUE (i.e. 0), so that it also gets overriden by the check in verify function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
