Kernel Module Options for ``amd-pstate``
=========================================
-.. _shared_mem:
-
-``shared_mem``
-Use a module param (shared_mem) to enable related processors manually with
-**amd_pstate.shared_mem=1**.
-Due to the performance issue on the processors with `Shared Memory Support
-<perf_cap_>`_, we disable it presently and will re-enable this by default
-once we address performance issue with this solution.

-To check whether the current processor is using `Full MSR Support <perf_cap_>`_
-or `Shared Memory Support <perf_cap_>`_ : ::

-If the CPU flags have ``cppc``, then this processor supports `Full MSR Support
-<perf_cap_>`_. Otherwise, it supports `Shared Memory Support <perf_cap_>`_.
+Passive Mode
+------------
+
+``amd_pstate=passive``
+
+It will be enabled if the ``amd_pstate=passive`` is passed to the kernel in the command line.
+In this mode, ``amd_pstate`` driver software specifies a desired QoS target in the CPPC
+performance scale as a relative number. This can be expressed as percentage of nominal
+performance (infrastructure max). Below the nominal sustained performance level,
+desired performance expresses the average performance level of the processor subject
+to the Performance Reduction Tolerance register. Above the nominal performance level,
+processor must provide at least nominal performance requested and go higher if current
+operating conditions allow.
