BAPM (INT)(9)

💖 bapm (int) 💖

okay so welcome to the bapm (int) page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes bestie, that's the manual name, and we're literally in the kernel API club 🫶

bapm (int) is all about Bidirectional Application Power Management (BAPM), and it's used to dynamically share TDP between CPU and GPU. That's the whole main character energy of this page ✨

Wanna turn it off? Set value 0 to disable it. The default is -1 (auto, enabled) — lowkey "let the kernel cook" vibes, no cap 💅

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

The page also points at the kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_drv.c, and then there's this whole guest list of other (9) pages — every single one is invited, no skips, periodt 💖

mwah 💋 that's the whole page, bestie — served fresh from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and we are literally obsessed with her 🎀
