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.

Currently the minimal up_threshold is 11, and user may want to use a smaller minimal up_threshold for performance tuning, so MIN_FREQUENCY_UP_THRESHOLD could be set to 1 because: 1. Current systems wouldn't be affected as they have already a value >= 11. 2. New systems with a default kernel would keep still the default value that is >= 11. Users now have the advantage that they can make their own decisions and customize the 'trip point' to switch to the max frequency.

The online / pre_down callback is invoked on the target CPU since commit 1cf4f629 ("cpu/hotplug: Move online calls to hotplugged cpu") which means for the hotplug callback we can use rmdsrl() instead of rdmsr_on_cpus(). This leaves us with set_boost() as the only user which still needs to read/write the MSR on different CPUs. There is no point in doing that update on all cpus with the read modify write magic via per cpu data. We simply can issue a function call on all online CPUs which also means that we need half that many IPIs.

The addition of the generic governor support marked the intel_pstate_exit_perf_limits as inline(), which fixed a warning, but it introduced another warning: drivers/cpufreq/intel_pstate.c: In function ‘intel_pstate_exit_perf_limits’: drivers/cpufreq/intel_pstate.c:483:1: error: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Werror=return-type] This changes it back to a 'void' return type, and changes the corresponding intel_pstate_init_acpi_perf_limits() function to be inline as well for consistency.

When user has selected performance policy, then set the EPP (Energy Performance Preference) or EPB (Energy Performance Bias) to maximum performance mode. Also when user switch back to powersave, then restore EPP/EPB to last EPP/EPB value before entering performance mode. If user has not changed EPP/EPB manually then it will be power on default value.

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. Introduced fp_ext_toint() equivalent to fp_toint() and int_ext_tofp() equivalent to int_tofp() with 14 bit precision.

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 are two places in the cpufreq core in which low-level driver callbacks may be invoked for an inactive cpufreq policy, which isn't guaranteed to work in general. Both are due to possible races with CPU offline. First, in cpufreq_get(), the policy may become inactive after the check against policy->cpus in cpufreq_cpu_get() and before policy->rwsem is acquired, in which case using it going forward may not be correct. Second, an analogous situation is possible in cpufreq_update_policy(). Avoid using inactive policies by adding policy_is_inactive() checks to the code in the above places. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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". Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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.

Conservative governor changes the CPU frequency in steps. That means that if a CPU runs at max frequency, it will need several sampling periods to return to min frequency when the workload is finished. If the update function that calculates the load and target frequency is deferred, the governor might need even more time to decrease the frequency. This may have impact to power consumption and after all conservative should decrease the frequency if there is no workload at every sampling rate. To resolve the above issue calculate the number of sampling periods that the update is deferred. Considering that for each sampling period conservative should drop the frequency by a freq_step because the CPU was idle apply the proper subtraction to requested frequency. Below, the kernel trace with and without this patch. First an intensive workload is applied on a specific CPU. Then the workload is removed and the CPU goes to idle.

What's returned from this function is the delta by which the frequency must be increased or decreased and not the final frequency that should be selected. Name it properly to match its purpose.

lpstate_idx remains uninitialized in the case when elapsed_time is greater than MAX_RAMP_DOWN_TIME. At the end of rampdown the global pstate should be equal to the local pstate.

Use get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load() to calculate target P-State for devices, with the preferred power management profile in ACPI FADT set to PM_MOBILE. This may help in resolving some thermal issues caused by low sustained cpu bound workloads. The current algorithm tend to over provision in this case as it doesn't look at the CPU busyness. Also included the fix from Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> to solve compile issue, when CONFIG_ACPI is not defined.

Merge media fixes from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: "This contains two patches fixing problems with my patch series meant to make USB drivers to work again after the DMA on stack changes. The last patch on this series is actually not related to DMA on stack. It solves a longstanding bug affecting module unload, causing module_put() to be called twice. It was reported by the user who reported and tested the issues with the gp8psk driver with the DMA fixup patches. As we're late at -rc cycle, maybe you prefer to not apply it right now. If this is the case, I'll add to the pile of patches for 4.10. Exceptionally this time, I'm sending the patches via e-mail, because I'm on another trip, and won't be able to use the usual procedure until Monday. Also, it is only three patches, and you followed already the discussions about the first one" * emailed patches from Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>: gp8psk: Fix DVB frontend attach gp8psk: fix gp8psk_usb_in_op() logic dvb-usb: move data_mutex to struct dvb_usb_device
