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()

levels from the cached HWP_CAP value.

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 eacc9c5a92 ("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).

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.

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.

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
consideration as OOB condition too.

After recent changes allowing scale-invariant utilization to be
used on x86, the schedutil governor on top of intel_pstate in the
passive mode should be on par with (or better than) the active mode
"powersave" algorithm of intel_pstate on systems in which
hardware-managed P-states (HWP) are not used, so it should not be
necessary to use the internal scaling algorithm in those cases.
Accordingly, modify intel_pstate to start in the passive mode by
default if the processor at hand does not support HWP of if the driver
is requested to avoid using HWP through the kernel command line.
Among other things, that will allow utilization clamps and the
support for RT/DL tasks in the schedutil governor to be utilized on
systems in which intel_pstate is used.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- Various NUMA scheduling updates: harmonize the load-balancer and
NUMA placement logic to not work against each other. The intended
result is better locality, better utilization and fewer migrations.
- Introduce Thermal Pressure tracking and optimizations, to improve
task placement on thermally overloaded systems.
- Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86
CPUs. This is done by observing and sampling the 'recent' CPU
frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data
via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity
estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even
if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency. (As
usual, turbo mode is a complication that we resolve by observing
the maximum frequency and renormalizing to it.)
- Add asymmetric CPU capacity wakeup scan to improve capacity
utilization on asymmetric topologies. (big.LITTLE systems)
- PSI fixes and optimizations.
- RT scheduling capacity awareness fixes & improvements.
- Optimize the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED constraints code.
- Misc fixes, cleanups and optimizations - see the changelog for
details"

The initial policy value set by intel_pstate_cpu_init() depends on
whether or not CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is set, but
that is not necessary, because the core will set the policy to
"performance" in cpufreq_init_policy() if the default governor is
"performance" anyway.
Accordingly, change intel_pstate_cpu_init() to always set policy
to CPUFREQ_POLICY_POWERSAVE initially to provide a valid fallback
value to cpufreq_init_policy() in case the default cpufreq governor
is neither "powersave" nor "performance".

The new macro set has a consistent namespace and uses C99 initializers
instead of the grufty C89 ones.
Get rid the of most local macro wrappers for consistency. The ones which
make sense for readability are renamed to X86_MATCH*.

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.

In the process of modifying a cpufreq policy, the cpufreq core makes
a copy of it including all of the internals which is stored on the
CPU stack. Because struct cpufreq_policy is relatively large, this
may cause the size of the stack frame to exceed the 2 KB limit and
so the GCC complains when -Wframe-larger-than= is used.
In fact, it is not necessary to copy the entire policy structure
in order to modify it, however.
First, because cpufreq_set_policy() obtains the min and max policy
limits from frequency QoS now, it is not necessary to pass the limits
to it from the callers. The only things that need to be passed to it
from there are the new governor pointer or (if there is a built-in
governor in the driver) the "policy" value representing the governor
choice. They both can be passed as individual arguments, though, so
make cpufreq_set_policy() take them this way and rework its callers
accordingly. This avoids making copies of cpufreq policies in the
callers of cpufreq_set_policy().
Second, cpufreq_set_policy() still needs to pass the new policy
data to the ->verify() callback of the cpufreq driver whose task
is to sanitize the min and max policy limits. It still does not
need to make a full copy of struct cpufreq_policy for this purpose,
but it needs to pass a few items from it to the driver in case they
are needed (different drivers have different needs in that respect
and all of them have to be covered). For this reason, introduce
struct cpufreq_policy_data to hold copies of the members of
struct cpufreq_policy used by the existing ->verify() driver
callbacks and pass a pointer to a temporary structure of that
type to ->verify() (instead of passing a pointer to full struct
cpufreq_policy to it).
While at it, notice that intel_pstate and longrun don't really need
to verify the "policy" value in struct cpufreq_policy, so drop those
check from them to avoid copying "policy" into struct
cpufreq_policy_data (which allows it to be slightly smaller).
Also while at it fix up white space in a couple of places and make
cpufreq_set_policy() static (as it can be so).

The max value of EPB can only be 0x0F. Attempting to set more than that
triggers an "unchecked MSR access error" warning which happens in
intel_pstate_hwp_force_min_perf() called via cpufreq stop_cpu().
However, it is not even necessary to touch the EPB from intel_pstate,
because it is restored on every CPU online by the intel_epb.c code,
so let that code do the right thing and drop the redundant (and
incorrect) EPB update from intel_pstate.
