GT Performance Limit Reasons (GT_PERF_LIMIT_REASONS_0_0_0_MCHBAR_PCU) – Offset 5900
Interface to allow software to determine what is causing resolved frequency to be clamped
below the requested frequency. Status bits are updated by pcode through the io interface IO_GT_PERF_LIMIT,
log bits are set by hw on a status bit edge dected and cleared by a SW write of 0.
THIS REGISTER IS DUPLICATED IN THE PCU CR SPACE, XML CHANGES MUST BE MADE IN BOTH PLACES.
| Bit Range | Default | Access | Field Name and Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 31 | 0h | RW/0C/V | (SPARE_GT_15_LOG) Reserved |
| 30 | 0h | RW/0C/V | Minimum Supported Power Log (MSPE_LOG) Indicates that the frequency has throttled due to the processor was running below the minimum supported power. |
| 29 | 0x0 | RW/0C/V | Maximum Turbo Log (MAX_TURBO_LIMIT_LOG) Indicates that the frequency has throttled due to exceeding turbo limits. |
| 28 | 0h | RW/0C/V | Inefficient Operation Log (INEFFICIENT_OPERATION_LOG) Indicates that the current GT Frequency lower than the DCC target Frequency. Software should write to this bit to clear the status in this bit |

| 17 | 0h | RW/0C/V | Thermal Log (THERMAL_LOG) Indicates that Thermal event has cause GT frequency clipping. Software should write to this bit to clear the status in this bit |
| 16 | 0h | RW/0C/V | PROCHOT# Log (PROCHOT_LOG) Indicates that PROCHOT# has cause GT frequency clipping. Software should write to this bit to clear the status in this bit |
| 15 | 0h | RO/V | (SPARE_GT_15) Reserved. |
| 14 | 0h | RO/V | Minimum Supported Power Status (MSPE) Indicates that the processor is running below the min supported power |
| 13 | 0x0 | RO/V | Maximum Turbo Status (MAX_TURBO_LIMIT) Indicates that GT n-slice fused limit was hit, causing GT frequency clipping |
