If HWP has been already been enabled by BIOS, it may be
necessary to override some kernel command line parameters.
Once it has been enabled it requires a reset to be disabled.

The current HWP calibration for hybrid processors in intel_pstate is
fragile, because it depends too much on the information provided by
the platform firmware via CPPC which may not be reliable enough. It
also need not be so complicated.
In order to improve that mechanism and make it more resistant to
platform firmware issues, make it only use the CPPC nominal_perf
values to compute the HWP-to-frequency scaling factors for all
CPUs and possibly use the HWP_CAP highest_perf values to recompute
them if the ones derived from the CPPC nominal_perf values alone
appear to be too high.
Namely, fetch CPC.nominal_perf for all CPUs present in the system,
find the minimum one and use it as a reference for computing all of
the CPUs' scaling factors (using the observation that for the CPUs
having the minimum CPC.nominal_perf the HWP range of available
performance levels should be the same as the range of available
"legacy" P-states and so the HWP-to-frequency scaling factor for
them should be the same as the corresponding scaling factor used
for representing the P-state values in kHz).

It is possible that HWP guaranteed ratio is changed in response to
change in power and thermal limits. For example when Intel Speed Select
performance profile is changed or there is change in TDP, hardware can
send notifications. It is possible that the guaranteed ratio is
increased. This creates an issue when turbo is disabled, as the old
limits set in MSR_HWP_REQUEST are still lower and hardware will clip
to older limits.
This change enables HWP interrupt and process HWP interrupts. When
guaranteed is changed, calls cpufreq_update_policy() so that driver
callbacks are called to update to new HWP limits. This callback
is called from a delayed workqueue of 10ms to avoid frequent updates.

The scaling factor between HWP performance levels and CPU frequency
may be different for different types of CPUs in a hybrid processor
and in general the HWP performance levels need not correspond to
"P-states" representing values that would be written to
MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL if HWP was disabled.
However, the policy limits control in cpufreq is defined in terms
of CPU frequency, so it is necessary to map the frequency limits set
through that interface to HWP performance levels with reasonable
accuracy and the behavior of that interface on hybrid processors
has to be compatible with its behavior on non-hybrid ones.
To address this problem, use the observations that (1) on hybrid
processors the sysfs interface can operate by mapping frequency
to "P-states" and translating those "P-states" to specific HWP
performance levels of the given CPU and (2) the scaling factor
between the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL "P-states" and CPU frequency can be
regarded as a known value. Moreover, the mapping between the
HWP performance levels and CPU frequency can be assumed to be
linear and such that HWP performance level 0 correspond to the
frequency value of 0, so it is only necessary to know the
frequency corresponding to one specific HWP performance level
to compute the scaling factor applicable to all of them.
One possibility is to take the nominal performance value from CPPC,
if available, and use cpu_khz as the corresponding frequency. If
the CPPC capabilities interface is not there or the nominal
performance value provided by it is out of range, though, something
else needs to be done.
Namely, the guaranteed performance level either from CPPC or from
MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES can be used instead, but the corresponding
frequency needs to be determined. That can be done by computing the
product of the (known) scaling factor between the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL
P-states and CPU frequency (the PERF_CTL scaling factor) and the
P-state value referred to as the "TDP ratio".
If the HWP-to-frequency scaling factor value obtained in one of the
ways above turns out to be euqal to the PERF_CTL scaling factor, it
can be assumed that the number of HWP performance levels is equal to
the number of P-states and the given CPU can be handled as though
this was not a hybrid processor.
Otherwise, one more adjustment may still need to be made, because the
HWP-to-frequency scaling factor computed so far may not be accurate
enough (e.g. because the CPPC information does not match the exact
behavior of the processor). Specifically, in that case the frequency
corresponding to the highest HWP performance value from
MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES (computed as the product of that value and the
HWP-to-frequency scaling factor) cannot exceed the frequency that
corresponds to the maximum 1-core turbo P-state value from
MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT (computed as the procuct of that value and the
PERF_CTL scaling factor) and the HWP-to-frequency scaling factor may
need to be adjusted accordingly.

It turns out that there are systems where HWP is enabled during
initialization by the platform firmware (BIOS), but HWP EPP support
is not advertised.
After commit 7aa1031223bc ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Avoid enabling HWP
if EPP is not supported") intel_pstate refuses to use HWP on those
systems, but the fallback PERF_CTL interface does not work on them
either because of enabled HWP, and once enabled, HWP cannot be
disabled. Consequently, the users of those systems cannot control
CPU performance scaling.
Address this issue by making intel_pstate use HWP unconditionally if
it is enabled already when the driver starts.

Because pstate.max_freq is always equal to the product of
pstate.max_pstate and pstate.scaling and, analogously,
pstate.turbo_freq is always equal to the product of
pstate.turbo_pstate and pstate.scaling, the result of the
max_policy_perf computation in intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() is
always equal to the quotient of policy_max and pstate.scaling,
regardless of whether or not turbo is disabled. Analogously, the
result of min_policy_perf in intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() is
always equal to the quotient of policy_min and pstate.scaling.
Accordingly, intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() need not check
whether or not turbo is enabled at all and in order to compute
max_policy_perf and min_policy_perf it can always divide policy_max
and policy_min, respectively, by pstate.scaling. Make it do so.
While at it, move the definition and initialization of the
turbo_max local variable to the code branch using it.

Currently, when turbo is disabled (either by BIOS or by the user),
the intel_pstate driver reads the max non-turbo frequency from the
package-wide MSR_PLATFORM_INFO(0xce) register.
However, on asymmetric platforms it is possible in theory that small
and big core with HWP enabled might have different max non-turbo CPU
frequency, because MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES is per-CPU scope according
to Intel Software Developer Manual.
The turbo max freq is already per-CPU in current code, so make
similar change to the max non-turbo frequency as well.

If turbo P-states cannot be used, either due to the configuration of
the processor, or because intel_pstate is not allowed to used them,
the maximum available P-state with HWP enabled corresponds to the
HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED value which is not static. It can be adjusted by
an out-of-band agent or during an Intel Speed Select performance
level change, so long as it remains less than or equal to
HWP_CAP.MAX.
However, if turbo P-states cannot be used, intel_cpufreq_adjust_perf()
always uses pstate.max_pstate (set during the initialization of the
driver only) as the maximum available P-state, so it may miss a change
of the HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED value.
Prevent that from happening by modifyig intel_cpufreq_adjust_perf()
to always read the "guaranteed" and "maximum turbo" performance
levels from the cached HWP_CAP value.

When sugov_update_single_perf() falls back to the "frequency"
path due to the missing scale-invariance, it will call
cpufreq_driver_fast_switch() via sugov_fast_switch()
and the driver's ->fast_switch() callback will be invoked,
so it must not be NULL.
However, after commit a365ab6b9dfb ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Implement

NULL when it is going to use intel_cpufreq_adjust_perf(), which is a
mistake, because on x86 the scale-invariance may be turned off
dynamically, so modify it to retain the original ->adjust_perf()
callback pointer.

When turbo has been disabled by the BIOS, but HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED is
changed later, user space may want to take advantage of this increased
guaranteed performance.
HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED is not a static value. It can be adjusted by an
out-of-band agent or during an Intel Speed Select performance level
change. The HWP_CAP.MAX is still the maximum achievable performance
with turbo disabled by the BIOS, so HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED can still
change as long as it remains less than or equal to HWP_CAP.MAX.
When HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED is changed, the sysfs base_frequency
attribute shows the most recent guaranteed frequency value. This
attribute can be used by user space software to update the scaling
min/max limits of the CPU.
Currently, the ->setpolicy() callback already uses the latest
HWP_CAP values when setting HWP_REQ, but the ->verify() callback will
restrict the user settings to the to old guaranteed performance value
which prevents user space from making use of the extra CPU capacity
theoretically available to it after increasing HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED.
To address this, read HWP_CAP in intel_pstate_verify_cpu_policy()
to obtain the maximum P-state that can be used and use that to
confine the policy max limit instead of using the cached and
possibly stale pstate.max_freq value for this purpose.
For consistency, update intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() to use the
maximum available P-state returned by intel_pstate_get_hwp_max() to
compute the maximum frequency instead of using the return value of
intel_pstate_get_max_freq() which, again, may be stale.
This issue is a side-effect of fixing the scaling frequency limits in
commit eacc9c5a927e ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix intel_pstate_get_hwp_max()
for turbo disabled") which corrected the setting of the reduced scaling
frequency values, but caused stale HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED to be used in
the case at hand.

If the cpufreq policy max limit is changed when intel_pstate operates
in the passive mode with HWP enabled and the "powersave" governor is
used on top of it, the HWP max limit is not updated as appropriate.
Namely, in the "powersave" governor case, the target P-state
is always equal to the policy min limit, so if the latter does
not change, intel_cpufreq_adjust_hwp() is not invoked to update
the HWP Request MSR due to the "target_pstate != old_pstate" check
in intel_cpufreq_update_pstate(), so the HWP max limit is not
updated as a result.
Also, if the CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS flag is not set for the
driver and the target frequency does not change along with the
policy max limit, the "target_freq == policy->cur" check in
__cpufreq_driver_target() prevents the driver's ->target() callback
from being invoked at all, so the HWP max limit is not updated.
To prevent that occurring, set the CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS flag
in the intel_cpufreq driver structure if HWP is enabled and modify
intel_cpufreq_update_pstate() to do the "target_pstate != old_pstate"
check only in the non-HWP case and let intel_cpufreq_adjust_hwp()
always run in the HWP case (it will update HWP Request only if the
cached value of the register is different from the new one including
the limits, so if neither the target P-state value nor the max limit
changes, the register write will still be avoided).

There is a corner case that if the intel_pstate driver fails to be

which may confuse user space (turbostat for example):

/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/status:off
grep: /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/turbo_pct: Resource temporarily unavailable
The mere presence of the intel_pstate sysfs interface does not mean
that intel_pstate is in use (for example, echo "off" to "status"),
but it should not be created in the failing case.
Fix this issue by deleting the intel_pstate sysfs if the driver

This fixes the behavior of the scaling_max_freq and scaling_min_freq
sysfs files in systems which had turbo disabled by the BIOS.
Caleb noticed that the HWP is programmed to operate in the wrong
P-state range on his system when the CPUFREQ policy min/max frequency
is set via sysfs. This seems to be because in his system
intel_pstate_get_hwp_max() is returning the maximum turbo P-state even
though turbo was disabled by the BIOS, which causes intel_pstate to
scale kHz frequencies incorrectly e.g. setting the maximum turbo
frequency whenever the maximum guaranteed frequency is requested via
sysfs.

When intel_pstate switches the operation mode from "active" to
"passive" or the other way around, freeing its data structures
representing CPUs and allocating them again from scratch is not
necessary and wasteful. Moreover, if these data structures are
preserved, the cached HWP Request MSR value from there may be
written to the MSR to start with to reinitialize it and help to
restore the EPP value set previously (it is set to 0xFF when CPUs
go offline to allow their SMT siblings to use the full range of
EPP values and that also happens when the driver gets unregistered).
Accordingly, modify the driver to only do a full cleanup on driver
object registration errors and when its status is changed to "off"
via sysfs and to write the cached HWP Request MSR value back to
the MSR on CPU init if the data structure representing the given
CPU is still there.

the "performance" policy (ie. scaling_governor set to "performance"),
to avoid situations in which the kernel appears to discard data
passed to it via the EPP sysfs attribute.

After commit f6ebbcf08f37 ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Implement passive
mode with HWP enabled") it is possible to change the driver status
to "off" via sysfs with HWP enabled, which effectively causes the
driver to unregister itself, but HWP remains active and it forces the
minimum performance, so even if another cpufreq driver is loaded,
it will not be able to control the CPU frequency.
For this reason, make the driver refuse to change the status to
"off" with HWP enabled.

Allow intel_pstate to work in the passive mode with HWP enabled and
make it set the HWP minimum performance limit (HWP floor) to the
P-state value given by the target frequency supplied by the cpufreq
governor, so as to prevent the HWP algorithm and the CPU scheduler
from working against each other, at least when the schedutil governor
is in use, and update the intel_pstate documentation accordingly.
Among other things, this allows utilization clamps to be taken
into account, at least to a certain extent, when intel_pstate is
in use and makes it more likely that sufficient capacity for
deadline tasks will be provided.
After this change, the resulting behavior of an HWP system with
intel_pstate in the passive mode should be close to the behavior
of the analogous non-HWP system with intel_pstate in the passive
mode, except that the HWP algorithm is generally allowed to make the
CPU run at a frequency above the floor P-state set by intel_pstate in
the entire available range of P-states, while without HWP a CPU can
run in a P-state above the requested one if the latter falls into the
range of turbo P-states (referred to as the turbo range) or if the
P-states of all CPUs in one package are coordinated with each other
at the hardware level.
[Note that in principle the HWP floor may not be taken into account
by the processor if it falls into the turbo range, in which case the
processor has a license to choose any P-state, either below or above
the HWP floor, just like a non-HWP processor in the case when the
target P-state falls into the turbo range.]
With this change applied, intel_pstate in the passive mode assumes
complete control over the HWP request MSR and concurrent changes of
that MSR (eg. via the direct MSR access interface) are overridden by
it.

The MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT can be 0. This is not an error. User can update
this MSR via BIOS settings on some systems or can use msr tools to update.
Also some systems boot with value = 0.
This results in display of cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq wrong. This value
will be equal to cpufreq/base_frequency, even though turbo is enabled.
But platform will still function normally in HWP mode as we get max
1-core frequency from the MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES. This MSR is already used
to calculate cpu->pstate.turbo_freq, which is used for to set
policy->cpuinfo.max_freq. But some other places cpu->pstate.turbo_pstate
is used. For example to set policy->max.
To fix this, also update cpu->pstate.turbo_pstate when updating
cpu->pstate.turbo_freq.

Because intel_pstate_set_energy_pref_index() reads and writes the
MSR_HWP_REQUEST register without using the cached value of it used by
intel_pstate_hwp_boost_up() and intel_pstate_hwp_boost_down(), those
functions may overwrite the value written by it and so the EPP value
set via sysfs may be lost.
To avoid that, make intel_pstate_set_energy_pref_index() take the
cached value of MSR_HWP_REQUEST just like the other two routines
mentioned above and update it with the new EPP value coming from
user space in addition to updating the MSR.
Note that the MSR itself still needs to be updated too in case
hwp_boost is unset or the boosting mechanism is not active at the
EPP change time.

Move the locking away from intel_pstate_set_energy_pref_index()
into its only caller and drop the (now redundant) return_pref label
from it.
Also move the "raw" EPP value check into the caller of that function,
so as to do it before acquiring the mutex, and reduce code duplication
related to the "raw" EPP values processing somewhat.
No intentional functional impact.

Although there are processors supporting hardware-managed P-states
(HWP) without the energy-performance preference (EPP) feature, they
are not expected to be run with HWP enabled (the BIOS should disable
HWP on those systems). Missing EPP support generally indicates an
incomplete HWP implementation and so it is better to avoid using
HWP on those systems in production.
However, intel_pstate currently enables HWP on such systems, which
is questionable, so prevent it from doing that by making it check
EPP support before enabling HWP and avoid enabling it if EPP is not
supported by the processor at hand.

Currently using attribute "energy_performance_preference", user space can
write one of the four per-defined preference string. These preference
strings gets mapped to a hard-coded Energy-Performance Preference (EPP) or
Energy-Performance Bias (EPB) knob.
These four values are supposed to cover broad spectrum of use cases, but
are not uniformly distributed in the range. There are number of cases,
where this is not enough. For example:
Suppose user wants more performance when connected to AC. Instead of using
default "balance performance", the "performance" setting can be used. This
changes EPP value from 0x80 to 0x00. But setting EPP to 0, results in
electrical and thermal issues on some platforms. This results in
aggressive throttling, which causes a drop in performance. But some value
between 0x80 and 0x00 results in better performance. But that value can't
be fixed as the power curve is not linear. In some cases just changing EPP
from 0x80 to 0x75 is enough to get significant performance gain.
Similarly on battery the default "balance_performance" mode can be
aggressive in power consumption. But picking up the next choice
"balance power" results in too much loss of performance, which results in
bad user experience in use cases like "Google Hangout". It was observed
that some value between these two EPP is optimal.
This change allows fine grain EPP tuning for platform like Chromebook or
for users who wants to fine tune power and performance.
Here based on the product and use cases, different EPP values can be set.
This change is similar to the change done for:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/power/energy_perf_bias
where user has choice to write a predefined string or raw value.
The change itself is trivial. When user preference doesn't match
predefined string preferences and value is an unsigned integer and in
range, use that value for EPP. When the EPP feature is not present
writing raw value is not supported.

By default intel_pstate the driver disables energy efficiency by setting
MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL bit 19 for Kaby Lake desktop CPU model in HWP mode.
This CPU model is also shared by Coffee Lake desktop CPUs. This allows
these systems to reach maximum possible frequency. But this adds power
penalty, which some customers don't want. They want some way to enable/
disable dynamically.
So, add an additional attribute "energy_efficiency" under
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/ for these CPU models. This allows
to read and write bit 19 ("Disable Energy Efficiency Optimization") in
the MSR IA32_POWER_CTL.
This attribute is present in both HWP and non-HWP mode as this has an
effect in both modes. Refer to Intel Software Developer's manual for
details.
The scope of this bit is package wide. Also these systems are single
package systems. So read/write MSR on the current CPU is enough.
The energy efficiency (EE) bit setting needs to be preserved during
suspend/resume and CPU offline/online operation. To do this:
- Restoring the EE setting from the cpufreq resume() callback, if there
is change from the system default.
- By default, don't disable EE from cpufreq init() callback for matching
CPU models. Since the scope is package wide and is a single package
system, move the disable EE calls from init() callback to
intel_pstate_init() function, which is called only once.

Add one more bit for OOB (Out Of Band) enabling of P-states.
If OOB handling of P-states is enabled, intel_pstate shouldn't load.
Currently, only "BIT(8) == 1" of the MSR MSR_MISC_PWR_MGMT is
considered as OOB, but "BIT(18) == 1" needs to be taken into
