A side effect of keeping intel_pstate sysfs limits in sync with cpufreq
is that the now sysfs limits can't enforced under performance policy.
For example, if the max_perf_pct is changed from 100 to 80, this will call
intel_pstate_set_policy(), which will change the max_perf to 100 again for
performance policy. Same issue happens, when no_turbo is set.
This change calculates max and min frequency using sysfs performance
limits in intel_pstate_verify_policy() and adjusts policy limits by
calling cpufreq_verify_within_limits().
Also, it causes the setting of performance limits to be skipped if
no_turbo is set.

Make intel_pstate update per-logical-CPU limits when the global

users will not see confusing values in per-logical-CPU sysfs
attributes.
This also fixes the problem that setting the "no_turbo" global
attribute to 1 in the "passive" mode (ie. when intel_pstate acts
as a regular cpufreq driver) when scaling_governor is set to
"performance" has no effect.

Race conditions are possible if intel_cpufreq_verify_policy()

It is possible to provide hints to the HWP algorithms in the processor
to be more performance centric to more energy centric. These hints are
provided by using HWP energy performance preference (EPP) or energy
performance bias (EPB) settings.
The scope of these settings is per logical processor, which means that
each of the logical processors in the package can be programmed with a
different value.
This change provides cpufreq sysfs interface to provide hint. For each
policy, two additional attributes will be available to check and provide
hint. These attributes will only be present when the intel_pstate driver
is using HWP mode.
These attributes are:
- energy_performance_available_preferences
- energy_performance_preference
To get list of supported hints:
$ cat energy_performance_available_preferences
default performance balance_performance balance_power power
The current preference can be read or changed via cpufreq sysfs
attribute "energy_performance_preference". Reading from this attribute
will display current effective setting changed via any method. User can
write any of the valid preference string to this attribute. User can
always restore to power-on default by writing "default".
Implementation
Since these hints can be provided by direct MSR write or using some tools
like x86_energy_perf_policy, the driver internally doesn't maintain any
state. The user operation will result in direct read/write of MSR: 0x774
(HWP_REQUEST_MSR). Also driver use read modify write to update other
fields in this MSR.
Summary of changes:
- struct cpudata field epp_saved is renamed to epp_powersave, as this
stores the value to restore once policy is switched from performance
to powersave to restore original powersave EPP value.
- A new struct cpudata field epp_saved is used to store the raw MSR
EPP/EPB value when a CPU goes offline or on suspend and restore on
online/resume. This ensures that EPP value is restored to correct
value irrespective of the means used to set.
- EPP/EPB value ranges are fixed for each preference, which can be
set for the cpufreq sysfs, so user request is mapped to/from this
range.
- New attributes are only added when HWP is present.
- Since EPP value of 0 is valid the fields are initialized to
-EINVAL when not valid. The field epp_default is read only once
after powerup to avoid reading on subsequent CPU online operation
- New suspend callback to store epp on suspend operation
- Don't invalidate old epp_saved field on resume and online as now
we can restore last epp value on suspend and this field can still
have old EPP value sampled during switch to performance from
powersave.
- While here optimized setting of cpu_data->epp_powersave = epp in
intel_pstate_hwp_set() as this was done in both true and false
paths.
- epp/epb set function returns error to caller on failure to pass
on to user space for display.

Even with round up of limits->min_perf and limits->max_perf, in some
cases resultant performance is 100 MHz less than the desired.
For example when the maximum frequency is 3.50 GHz, setting
scaling_min_frequency to 2.3 GHz always results in 2.2 GHz minimum.
Currently the fixed floating point operation uses 8 bit precision for
calculating limits->min_perf and limits->max_perf. For some operations
in this driver the 14 bit precision is used. Using the 14 bit precision
also for calculating limits->min_perf and limits->max_perf, addresses
this issue.

In some use cases, user wants to enforce a minimum performance limit on
CPUs. But because of simple division the resultant performance is 100 MHz
less than the desired in some cases.
For example when the maximum frequency is 3.50 GHz, setting
scaling_min_frequency to 1.6 GHz always results in 1.5 GHz minimum. With
simple round up, the frequency can be set to 1.6 GHz to minimum in this
case. This round up is already done to max_policy_pct and max_perf, so do
the same for min_policy_pct and min_perf.

There may be reasons to use generic cpufreq governors (eg. schedutil)
on Intel platforms instead of the intel_pstate driver's internal
governor. However, that currently can only be done by disabling
intel_pstate altogether and using the acpi-cpufreq driver instead
of it, which is subject to limitations.
First of all, acpi-cpufreq only works on systems where the _PSS
object is present in the ACPI tables for all logical CPUs. Second,
on those systems acpi-cpufreq will only use frequencies listed by
_PSS which may be suboptimal. In particular, by convention, the
whole turbo range is represented in _PSS as a single P-state and
the frequency assigned to it is greater by 1 MHz than the greatest
non-turbo frequency listed by _PSS. That may confuse governors to
use turbo frequencies less frequently which may lead to suboptimal
performance.
For this reason, make it possible to use the intel_pstate driver
with generic cpufreq governors as a "normal" cpufreq driver. That
mode is enforced by adding intel_pstate=passive to the kernel
command line and cannot be disabled at run time. In that mode,
intel_pstate provides a cpufreq driver interface including
the ->target() and ->fast_switch() callbacks and is listed in
scaling_driver as "intel_cpufreq".

Currently, intel_pstate is unable to control P-states on my
IvyBridge-based Acer Aspire S5, because they are controlled by SMM
on that machine by default and it is necessary to request OS control
of P-states from it via the SMI Command register exposed in the ACPI
FADT. intel_pstate doesn't do that now, but acpi-cpufreq and other
cpufreq drivers for x86 platforms do.
Address this problem by making intel_pstate use the ACPI-defined
mechanism as well. However, intel_pstate is not modular and it
doesn't need the module refcount tricks played by
acpi_processor_notify_smm(), so export the core of this function
to it as acpi_processor_pstate_control() and make it call that.
[The changes in processor_perflib.c related to this should not
make any functional difference for the acpi_processor_notify_smm()
users].
To be safe, only call acpi_processor_notify_smm() from intel_pstate
if ACPI _PPC support is enabled in it.

This may help in resolving some thermal issues caused by low sustained

When policy->max and policy->min are same, in some cases they don't
result in the same frequency cap. The max_policy_pct is rounded up but
not min_perf_pct. So even when they are same, results in different
percentage or maximum and minimum.
Since minimum is a conservative value for power, a lower value without
rounding is better in most of the cases, unless user wants
policy->max = policy->min.
This change uses use the same policy percentage when policy->max and

Intel P-State offers two interface to set performance limits:
- Intel P-State sysfs
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
- cpufreq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
In the current implementation both of the above methods, change limits
to every CPU in the system. Moreover the limits placed using cpufreq
policy interface also presented in the Intel P-State sysfs via modified
max_perf_pct and min_per_pct during sysfs reads. This allows to check
percent of reduced/increased performance, irrespective of method used to
limit.
There are some new generations of processors, where it is possible to
have limits placed on individual CPU cores. Using cpufreq interface it
is possible to set limits on each CPU. But the current processing will
use last limits placed on all CPUs. So the per core limit feature of
CPUs can't be used.
This change brings in capability to set P-States limits for each CPU,
with some limitations. In this case what should be the read of
max_perf_pct and min_perf_pct? It can be most restrictive limits placed
on any CPU or max possible performance on any given CPU on which no
limits are placed. In either case someone will have issue.
So the consensus is, we can't have both sysfs controls present when user
wants to use limit per core limits.
- By default per-core-control feature is not enabled. So no one will
notice any difference.
- The way to enable is by kernel command line
intel_pstate=per_cpu_perf_limits
- When the per-core-controls are enabled there is no display of for both
read and write on
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
- User can change limits using
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
- User can still observe turbo percent and number of P-States from
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/turbo_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/num_pstates
- User can read write system wide turbo status
/sys/devices/system/cpu/no_turbo

The only times at which intel_pstate checks the policy set for
a given CPU is the initialization of that CPU and updates of its
policy settings from cpufreq when intel_pstate_set_policy() is
invoked.
That is insufficient, however, because intel_pstate uses the same
P-state selection function for all CPUs regardless of the policy
setting for each of them and the P-state limits are shared between
them. Thus if the policy is set to "performance" for a particular
CPU, it may not behave as expected if the cpufreq settings are
changed subsequently for another CPU.
That can be easily demonstrated by writing "performance" to
scaling_governor for all CPUs and then switching it to "powersave"
for one of them in which case all of the CPUs will behave as though
their scaling_governor were all "powersave" (even though the policy
still appears to be "performance" for the remaining CPUs).
Fix this problem by modifying intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() to
always set the P-state to the maximum allowed by the current limits
for all CPUs whose policy is set to "performance".
Note that it still is recommended to always change the policy setting
in the same way for all CPUs even with this fix applied to avoid
confusion.

After commit a4675fbc4a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with
utilization update callbacks) the cpufreq governor callbacks may not
be invoked on NOHZ_FULL CPUs and, in particular, switching to the
"performance" policy via sysfs may not have any effect on them. That
is a problem, because it usually is desirable to squeeze the last
bit of performance out of those CPUs, so work around it by setting
the maximum P-state (within the limits) in intel_pstate_set_policy()
upfront when the policy is CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE.

The "IOwait boosting" mechanism is only used by the
get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load() governor function and the
boost_iowait flag in pid_params is always set when that function
is in use (and it is never set otherwise). This means that the
boost_iowait flag is in fact redundant and may be dropped.
For this reason, replace the boost_iowait flag check in
intel_pstate_update_util() with an equivalent check against
pstate_funcs.get_target_pstate and drop that flag.

The PID algorithm used by the intel_pstate driver tends to drive
performance to the minimum for workloads with utilization below the
setpoint, which is undesirable, so replace it with a modified
"proportional" algorithm on Atom.
The new algorithm will set the new P-state to be 1.25 times the
available maximum times the (frequency-invariant) utilization during
the previous sampling period except when the target P-state computed
this way is lower than the average P-state during the previous
sampling period. In the latter case, it will increase the target by
50% of the difference between it and the average P-state to prevent
performance from dropping down too fast in some cases.

This is a requirement that MSR MSR_PM_ENABLE must be set to 0x01 before
reading MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES on a given CPU. If cpufreq init() is
scheduled on a CPU which is not same as policy->cpu or migrates to a
different CPU before calling msr read for MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES, it
is possible that MSR_PM_ENABLE was not to set to 0x01 on that CPU.
This will cause GP fault. So like other places in this path
rdmsrl_on_cpu should be used instead of rdmsrl.
Moreover the scope of MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES is on per thread basis, so it
should be read from the same CPU, for which MSR MSR_HWP_REQUEST is
getting set.

It is useful to know the reason why cpufreq_update_util() has just
been called and that can be passed as flags to cpufreq_update_util()
and to the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data. However,
doing that in addition to passing the util and max arguments they
already take would be clumsy, so avoid it.
Instead, use the observation that the schedutil governor is part
of the scheduler proper, so it can access scheduler data directly.
This allows the util and max arguments of cpufreq_update_util()
and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data to be replaced
with a flags one, but schedutil has to be modified to follow.
Thus make the schedutil governor obtain the CFS utilization
information from the scheduler and use the "RT" and "DL" flags
instead of the special utilization value of ULONG_MAX to track
updates from the RT and DL sched classes. Make it non-modular
too to avoid having to export scheduler variables to modules at
large.
Next, update all of the other users of cpufreq_update_util()
and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data accordingly.

intel_pstate_set_policy() is invoked by the cpufreq core during
driver initialization, on changes of policy attributes (minimim and
maximum frequency, for example) via sysfs and via CPU notifications
from the platform firmware. On some platforms the latter may occur
relatively often.
Commit bb6ab52f2b (intel_pstate: Do not set utilization update hook
too early) made intel_pstate_set_policy() clear the CPU's utilization
update hook before updating the policy attributes for it (and set the
hook again after doind that), but that involves invoking
synchronize_sched() and adds overhead to the CPU notifications
mentioned above and to the sched-RCU handling in general.
That extra overhead is arguably not necessary, because updating
policy attributes when the CPU's utilization update hook is active
should not lead to any adverse effects, so drop the clearing of
the hook from intel_pstate_set_policy() and make it check if
the hook has been set already when attempting to set it.

The maximum turbo P-State used by the intel_pstate driver may be
limited by ACPI _PSS table entry 0. After commit 9522a2ff9c
(cpufreq: intel_pstate: Enforce _PPC limits), the maximum performance
on servers will be capped by the _PSS table entry 0 by default.
Even though that is formally correct, it may lead to preformance
regressions in some cases. Namely, if the _PSS table entry 0 is
not the maximum turbo P-State, performance measured after commit
9522a2ff9c will not match the performance measured before that
commit on the same system.
For this reason, modify the code to always use the maximum turbo
frequency as the one that corresponds to _PSS table entry 0 if turbo
is enabled in the BIOS. This way, the performance levels from
before commit 9522a2ff9c will be restored on the affected systems.

When turbo is disabled, the ->set_policy() interface is broken.
For example, when turbo is disabled and cpuinfo.max = 2900000 (full
max turbo frequency), setting the limits results in frequency less
than the requested one:
Set 1000000 KHz results in 0700000 KHz
Set 1500000 KHz results in 1100000 KHz
Set 2000000 KHz results in 1500000 KHz
This is because the limits->max_perf fraction is calculated using
the max turbo frequency as the reference, but when the max P-State is
capped in intel_pstate_get_min_max(), the reference is not the max
turbo P-State. This results in reducing max P-State.
One option is to always use max turbo as reference for calculating
limits. But this will not be correct. By definition the intel_pstate
sysfs limits, shows percentage of available performance. So when
BIOS has disabled turbo, the available performance is max non turbo.
So the max_perf_pct should still show 100%.

store it as an "extended fixed point" value with more fraction bits

After commit 8fa520af50 "intel_pstate: Remove freq calculation from
intel_pstate_calc_busy()" intel_pstate_get() calls get_avg_frequency()
to compute the average frequency, which is problematic for two reasons.
First, intel_pstate_get() may be invoked before the driver reads the
CPU feedback registers for the first time and if that happens,
get_avg_frequency() will attempt to divide by zero.
Second, the get_avg_frequency() call in intel_pstate_get() is racy
with respect to intel_pstate_sample() and it may end up returning
completely meaningless values for this reason.
Moreover, after commit 7349ec0470 "intel_pstate: Move
intel_pstate_calc_busy() into get_target_pstate_use_performance()"
sample.core_pct_busy is never computed on Atom, but it is used in
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() in that case too.
To address those problems notice that if sample.core_pct_busy
was used in the average frequency computation carried out by
get_avg_frequency(), both the divide by zero problem and the
race with respect to intel_pstate_sample() would be avoided.
Accordingly, move the invocation of intel_pstate_calc_busy() from
get_target_pstate_use_performance() to intel_pstate_update_util(),
which also will take care of the uninitialized sample.core_pct_busy
on Atom, and modify get_avg_frequency() to use sample.core_pct_busy
as per the above.

To address this problem, allow cpufreq drivers that don't provide

callbacks and add a ->resume callback to intel_pstate to restore
the HWP settings on the CPUs that belong to the given policy.

When policy->max is changed via _PPC or sysfs and is more than the max non
turbo frequency, it does not really change resulting performance in some
processors. When policy->max results in a P-State ratio more than the
turbo activation ratio, then processor can choose any P-State up to max
turbo. So the user or _PPC setting has no value, but this can cause
undesirable side effects like:
- Showing reduced max percentage in Intel P-State sysfs
- It can cause reduced max performance under certain boundary conditions:
The requested max scaling frequency either via _PPC or via cpufreq-sysfs,
will be converted into a fixed floating point max percent scale. In
majority of the cases this will result in correct max. But not 100% of the
time. If the _PPC is requested at a point where the calculation lead to a
lower max, this can result in a lower P-State then expected and it will
impact performance.

Now set the config TDP level 1 ratio as 0x0b (equivalent to 1100000KHz)
in BIOS (not every system will let you adjust this).
The turbo activation ratio will be set to one less than that, which will
be 0x0a (So any request above 1000000KHz should result in turbo region
assuming no thermal limits).
Here _PPC will request max to 1100000KHz (which basically should still
result in turbo as this is more than the turbo activation ratio up to
max allowable turbo frequency), but actual calculation resulted in a max
ceiling P-State which is 0x0a. So under any load condition, this driver
will not request turbo P-States. This will be a huge performance hit.
When config TDP feature is ON, if the _PPC points to a frequency above
turbo activation ratio, the performance can still reach max turbo. In this
case we don't need to treat this as the reduced frequency in set_policy
callback.
In this change when config TDP is active (by checking if the physical max
non turbo ratio is more than the current max non turbo ratio), any request
above current max non turbo is treated as full performance.

Use ACPI _PPC notification to limit max P state driver will request.
ACPI _PPC change notification is sent by BIOS to limit max P state
in several cases:
- Reduce impact of platform thermal condition
- When Config TDP feature is used, a changed _PPC is sent to
follow TDP change
- Remote node managers in server want to control platform power
via baseboard management controller (BMC)
This change registers with ACPI processor performance lib so that
_PPC changes are notified to cpufreq core, which in turns will
result in call to .setpolicy() callback. Also the way _PSS
table identifies a turbo frequency is not compatible to max turbo
frequency in intel_pstate, so the very first entry in _PSS needs

The result returned by pid_calc() is subtracted from current_pstate
(which is the P-State requested during the last period) in order to
obtain the target P-State for the current iteration.
However, current_pstate may not reflect the real current P-State of
the CPU. In particular, that P-State may be higher because of the
frequency sharing per module.
The theory is:
- The load is the percentage of time spent in C0 and is related to
the average P-State during the same period.
- The last requested P-State can be completely different than the
average P-State (because of frequency sharing or throttling).
- The P-State shift computed by the pid_calc is based on the load
computed at average P-State, so the shift must be relative to
this average P-State.
Using the average P-State instead of current P-State improves power
without significant performance penalty in cases when a task migrates
from one core to other core sharing frequency and voltage.

Jörg Otte reports that commit a4675fbc4a (cpufreq: intel_pstate:
Replace timers with utilization update callbacks) caused the CPUs in
his Haswell-based system to stay in the very high frequency region
even if the system is completely idle.
That turns out to be an existing problem in the intel_pstate driver's
P-state selection algorithm for Core processors. Namely, all
decisions made by that algorithm are based on the average frequency
of the CPU between sampling events and on the P-state requested on
the last invocation, so it may get stuck at a very hight frequency
even if the utilization of the CPU is very low (in fact, it may get
stuck in a inadequate P-state regardless of the CPU utilization).
The only way to kick it out of that limbo is a sufficiently long idle
period (3 times longer than the prescribed sampling interval), but if
that doesn't happen often enough (eg. due to a timing change like
after the above commit), the P-state of the CPU may be inadequate
pretty much all the time.
To address the most egregious manifestations of that issue, reset the
core_busy value used to determine the next P-state to request if the
utilization of the CPU, determined with the help of the MPERF
feedback register and the TSC, is below 1%.

There are multiple places in intel_pstate where int_tofp() is applied
to both arguments of div_fp(), but this is pointless, because int_tofp()
simply shifts its argument to the left by FRAC_BITS which mathematically
is equivalent to multuplication by 2^FRAC_BITS, so if this is done
to both arguments of a division, the extra factors will cancel each
other during that operation anyway.

When user sets performance policy using cpufreq interface, it is possible
that because of policy->max limits, the actual performance is still
limited. But the current implementation will silently switch the
policy to powersave and start using powersave limits. If user modifies
any limits using intel_pstate sysfs, this is actually changing powersave
limits.
The current implementation tracks limits under powersave and performance
policy using two different variables. When policy->max is less than
policy->cpuinfo.max_freq, only powersave limit variable is used.
This fix causes the performance limits variable to be used always when
the policy is performance.

The initialization of intel_pstate for a given CPU involves populating
the fields of its struct cpudata that represent the previous sample,
but currently that is done in a problematic way.
Namely, intel_pstate_init_cpu() makes an extra call to
intel_pstate_sample() so it reads the current register values that
will be used to populate the "previous sample" record during the
next invocation of intel_pstate_sample(). However, after commit
a4675fbc4a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with utilization
update callbacks) that doesn't work for last_sample_time, because
the time value is passed to intel_pstate_sample() as an argument now.
Passing 0 to it from intel_pstate_init_cpu() is problematic, because
that causes cpu->last_sample_time == 0 to be visible in
get_target_pstate_use_performance() (and hence the extra
cpu->last_sample_time > 0 check in there) and effectively allows
the first invocation of intel_pstate_sample() from
intel_pstate_update_util() to happen immediately after the
initialization which may lead to a significant "turn on"
effect in the governor algorithm.
To mitigate that issue, rework the initialization to avoid the
extra intel_pstate_sample() call from intel_pstate_init_cpu().
Instead, make intel_pstate_sample() return false if it has been
called with cpu->sample.time equal to zero, which will make
intel_pstate_update_util() skip the sample in that case, and
reset cpu->sample.time from intel_pstate_set_update_util_hook()
to make the algorithm start properly every time the hook is set.

The utilization update hook in the intel_pstate driver is set too
early, as it only should be set after the policy has been fully
initialized by the core. That may cause intel_pstate_update_util()
to use incorrect data and put the CPUs into incorrect P-states as
a result.
To prevent that from happening, make intel_pstate_set_policy() set
the utilization update hook instead of intel_pstate_init_cpu() so
intel_pstate_update_util() only runs when all things have been
initialized as appropriate.

After commit a4675fbc4a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with
utilization update callbacks) wrmsrl_on_cpu() cannot be called in the
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() path as that is executed with
disabled interrupts. However, atom_set_pstate() called from there
via intel_pstate_set_pstate() uses wrmsrl_on_cpu() to update the
IA32_PERF_CTL MSR which triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
smp_call_function_single().
The reason why wrmsrl_on_cpu() is used by atom_set_pstate() is
because intel_pstate_set_pstate() calling it is also invoked during
the initialization and cleanup of the driver and in those cases it is
not guaranteed to be run on the CPU that is being updated. However,
in the case when intel_pstate_set_pstate() is called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate(), wrmsrl() can be used to update
the register safely. Moreover, intel_pstate_set_pstate() already
contains code that only is executed if the function is called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() and there is a special argument
passed to it because of that.
To fix the problem at hand, rearrange the code taking the above
observations into account.
First, replace the ->set() callback in struct pstate_funcs with a
->get_val() one that will return the value to be written to the
IA32_PERF_CTL MSR without updating the register.
Second, split intel_pstate_set_pstate() into two functions,
intel_pstate_update_pstate() to be called by
intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() that will contain all of the
intel_pstate_set_pstate() code which only needs to be executed in
that case and will use wrmsrl() to update the MSR (after obtaining
the value to write to it from the ->get_val() callback), and
intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to be invoked during the
initialization and cleanup that will set the P-state to the
minimum one and will update the MSR using wrmsrl_on_cpu().
Finally, move the code shared between intel_pstate_update_pstate()
and intel_pstate_set_min_pstate() to a new static inline function
intel_pstate_record_pstate() and make them both call it.
Of course, that unifies the handling of the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR writes
between Atom and Core.

If the current value of MPERF or the current value of TSC is the

However, intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() is still called in that
case which is not correct, so modify intel_pstate_sample() to
return a bool value indicating whether or not the sample has been

Use the observation that cpufreq_update_util() is only called
by the scheduler with rq->lock held, so the callers of

instead of synchronize_rcu() to wait for cpufreq_update_util()
to complete. Moreover, if they are updated to do that,
rcu_read_(un)lock() calls in cpufreq_update_util() might be
replaced with rcu_read_(un)lock_sched(), respectively, but
those aren't really necessary, because the scheduler calls
that function from RCU-sched read-side critical sections
already.
In addition to that, if cpufreq_set_update_util_data() checks
the func field in the struct update_util_data before setting
the per-CPU pointer to it, the data->func check may be dropped
from cpufreq_update_util() as well.

The intel-pstate driver is using intel_pstate_hwp_set() from two
separate paths, i.e. ->set_policy() callback and sysfs update path for
the files present in /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/ directory.
While an update to the sysfs path applies to all the CPUs being managed
by the driver (which essentially means all the online CPUs), the update
via the ->set_policy() callback applies to a smaller group of CPUs
managed by the policy for which ->set_policy() is called.
And so, intel_pstate_hwp_set() should update frequencies of only the
CPUs that are part of policy->cpus mask, while it is called from
->set_policy() callback.
In order to do that, add a parameter (cpumask) to intel_pstate_hwp_set()
and apply the frequency changes only to the concerned CPUs.
For ->set_policy() path, we are only concerned about policy->cpus, and
so policy->rwsem lock taken by the core prior to calling ->set_policy()
is enough to take care of any races. The larger lock acquired by
get_online_cpus() is required only for the updates to sysfs files.
Add another routine, intel_pstate_hwp_set_online_cpus(), and call it
from the sysfs update paths.
This also fixes a lockdep reported recently, where policy->rwsem and
get_online_cpus() could have been acquired in any order causing an ABBA
deadlock. The sequence of events leading to that was:
intel_pstate_init(...)
...cpufreq_online(...)

...intel_pstate_hwp_set();

In cases where we have many IOs, the global load becomes low and the

To improve IO bound work, we can count the io-wait time as busy time
in calculating CPU busy.

The current function to calculate cpu utilization uses the average P-state
ratio (APerf/Mperf) scaled by the ratio of the current P-state to the
max available non-turbo one. This leads to an overestimation of
utilization which causes higher-performance P-states to be selected more
often and that leads to increased energy consumption.
This is a problem for low-power systems, so it is better to use a
different utilization calculation algorithm for them.
Namely, the Percent Busy value (or load) can be estimated as the ratio of the
MPERF counter that runs at a constant rate only during active periods (C0) to
the time stamp counter (TSC) that also runs (at the same rate) during idle.
That is:
Percent Busy = 100 * (delta_mperf / delta_tsc)

Target systems using different cpus have different power and performance
requirements. They may use different algorithms to get the next P-state
based on their power or performance preference.
For example, power-constrained systems may not want to use
high-performance P-states as aggressively as a full-size desktop or a
server platform. A server platform may want to run close to the max to
achieve better performance, while laptop-like systems may prefer
sacrificing performance for longer battery lifes.
