      cpufreq: intel_pstate: Update cpuinfo.max_freq on HWP_CAP changes · dfeeedc1
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored 
      With HWP enabled, when the turbo range of performance levels is
disabled by the platform firmware, the CPU capacity is given by
the "guaranteed performance" field in MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES which
is generally dynamic.  When it changes, the kernel receives an HWP
notification interrupt handled by notify_hwp_interrupt().

When the "guaranteed performance" value changes in the above
configuration, the CPU performance scaling needs to be adjusted so
as to use the new CPU capacity in computations, which means that
the cpuinfo.max_freq value needs to be updated for that CPU.

Accordingly, modify intel_pstate_notify_work() to read
MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES and update cpuinfo.max_freq to reflect the
new configuration (this update can be carried out even if the
configuration doesn't actually change, because it simply doesn't
matter then and it takes less time to update it than to do extra
checks to decide whether or not a change has really occurred).

      cpufreq: Fix initialization of min and max frequency QoS requests · 521223d8
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored 
      The min and max frequency QoS requests in the cpufreq core are
initialized to whatever the current min and max frequency values are
at the init time, but if any of these values change later (for
example, cpuinfo.max_freq is updated by the driver), these initial
request values will be limiting the CPU frequency unnecessarily
unless they are changed by user space via sysfs.

To address this, initialize min_freq_req and max_freq_req to
FREQ_QOS_MIN_DEFAULT_VALUE and FREQ_QOS_MAX_DEFAULT_VALUE,
respectively, so they don't really limit anything until user
space updates them.

      cpufreq: intel_pstate: Update EPP for AlderLake mobile · b6e6f8be
      Srinivas Pandruvada authored 
      There is an expectation from users that they can get frequency specified
by cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq when conditions permit. But with AlderLake
mobile it may not be possible. This is possible that frequency is clipped
based on the system power-up EPP value. In this case users can update
cpufreq/energy_performance_preference to some performance oriented EPP to
limit clipping of frequencies.

To get out of box behavior as the prior generations of CPUs, update EPP
for AlderLake mobile CPUs on boot. On prior generations of CPUs EPP = 128
was enough to get maximum frequency, but with AlderLake mobile the
equivalent EPP is 102. Since EPP is model specific, this is possible that
they have different meaning on each generation of CPU.

The current EPP string "balance_performance" corresponds to EPP = 128.
Change the EPP corresponding to "balance_performance" to 102 for only
AlderLake mobile CPUs and update this on each CPU during boot.

To implement reuse epp_values[] array and update the modified EPP at the
index for BALANCE_PERFORMANCE. Add a dummy EPP_INDEX_DEFAULT to
epp_values[] to match indexes in the energy_perf_strings[].

After HWP PM is enabled also update EPP when "balance_performance" is
redefined for the very first time after the boot on each CPU. On
subsequent suspend/resume or offline/online the old EPP is restored,
so no specific action is needed.

      cpufreq: intel_pstate: Drop redundant intel_pstate_get_hwp_cap() call · 458b03f8
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored 
      It is not necessary to call intel_pstate_get_hwp_cap() from
intel_pstate_update_perf_limits(), because it gets called from
intel_pstate_verify_cpu_policy() which is either invoked directly
right before intel_pstate_update_perf_limits(), in
intel_cpufreq_verify_policy() in the passive mode, or called
from driver callbacks in a sequence that causes it to be followed
by an immediate intel_pstate_update_perf_limits().

Namely, in the active mode intel_cpufreq_verify_policy() is called
by intel_pstate_verify_policy() which is the ->verify() callback
routine of intel_pstate and gets called by the cpufreq core right
before intel_pstate_set_policy(), which is the driver's ->setoplicy()
callback routine, where intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() is called.
