On some platforms such as the Dell XPS 13 laptop the firmware disables turbo when the machine is disconnected from AC, and viceversa it enables it again when it's reconnected. In these cases a _PPC ACPI notification is issued. The scheduler needs to know freq_max for frequency-invariant calculations. To account for turbo availability to come and go, record freq_max at boot as if turbo was available and store it in a helper variable. Use a setter function to swap between freq_base and freq_max every time turbo goes off or on.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
