The CPPC tables contain entries for per CPU feedback counters which
allows us to compute the delivered performance over a given interval
of time.
The math for delivered performance per the CPPCv5.0+ spec is:
reference perf * delta(delivered perf ctr)/delta(ref perf ctr)
Maintaining deltas of the counters in the kernel is messy, as it
depends on when the reads are triggered. (e.g. via the cpufreq
->get() interface). Also the ->get() interace only returns one
value, so cant return raw values. So instead, leave it to userspace
to keep track of raw values and do its math for CPUs it cares about.
delivered and reference perf counters are exposed via the same
sysfs file to avoid the potential "skid", if these values are read
individually from userspace.

CPPC defined in section 8.4.7 of ACPI 6.0 specification suggests
"To amortize the cost of PCC transactions, OSPM should read or write
all PCC registers via a single read or write command when possible"
This patch enables opportunistic batching of frequency transition
requests whenever the request happen to overlap in time.
Currently the access to pcc is serialized by a spin lock which does
not scale well as we increase the number of cores in the system. This
patch improves the scalability by allowing the differnt CPU cores to
update PCC subspace in parallel and by batching requests which will
reduce the certain types of operation(checking command completion bit,
ringing doorbell) by a significant margin.
Profiling shows significant improvement in the overall effeciency
to service freq. transition requests. With this patch we observe close
to 30% of the frequency transition requests being batched with other
requests while running apache bench on a ARM platform with 6
independent domains(or sets of related cpus).

For cases where sys mapped CPC registers need to be accessed
frequently, it helps immensly to pre-map them rather than map
and unmap for each operation. e.g. case where feedback counters
are sys mem map registers.
Restructure cpc_read/write and the cpc_regs structure to allow
pre-mapping the system addresses and unmap them when the CPU exits.

When CPPC fails to request a PCC channel, the CPC data is freed
and cpc_desc_ptr points to the invalid data.
Avoid this issue by moving the cpc_desc_ptr assignment after the PCC
channel request.

The ACPI spec defines Minimum Request Turnaround Time(MRTT) and
Maximum Periodic Access Rate(MPAR) to prevent the OSPM from sending
too many requests than the platform can handle. For further details
on these parameters please refer to section 14.1.3 of ACPI 6.0 spec.
This patch includes MRTT/MPAR in deciding if or when a CPPC request
can be sent to the platform to make sure CPPC implementation is
compliant to the spec.

We do not have a strict read/write order requirement while accessing
PCC subspace. The only requirement is all access should be committed
before triggering the PCC doorbell to transfer the ownership of PCC
to the platform and this requirement is enforced by the PCC driver.
Profiling on a many core system shows improvement of about 1.8us on
average per freq change request(about 10% improvement on average).
Since these operations are executed while holding the pcc_lock,
reducing this time helps the CPPC implementation to scale much
better as the number of cores increases.

cpc_read and cpc_write are used while holding the pcc_lock spin_lock,
so they need to be as fast as possible. acpi_os_read/write_memory
APIs linearly search through a list for cached mapping which is
quite expensive. Since the PCC subspace is already mapped into
virtual address space during initialization, we can just add the
offset and access the necessary CPPC registers.
This patch + similar changes to PCC driver reduce the time per freq.
transition from around 200us to about 20us for the CPPC cpufreq
driver.

Previously the send_pcc_cmd() code checked if the
PCC operation had completed before returning from
the function. This check was performed regardless
of the PCC op type (i.e. Read/Write). Knowing
the type of cmd can be used to optimize the check
and avoid needless waiting. e.g. with Write ops,
the actual Writing is done before calling send_pcc_cmd().
And the subsequent Writes will check if the channel is
free at the entry of send_pcc_cmd() anyway.
However, for Read cmds, we need to wait for the cmd
completion bit to be flipped, since the actual Read
ops follow after returning from the send_pcc_cmd(). So,
only do the looping check at the end for Read ops.
Also, instead of using udelay() calls, use ktime as a
means to check for deadlines. The current deadline
in which the Remote should flip the cmd completion bit
is defined as N * Nominal latency. Where N is arbitrary
and large enough to work on slow emulators and Nominal
latency comes from the ACPI table (PCCT). This helps
in working around the CONFIG_HZ effects on udelay()
and also avoids needing different ACPI tables for Silicon
and Emulation platforms.

CPPC stands for Collaborative Processor Performance Controls
and is defined in the ACPI v5.0+ spec. It describes CPU
performance controls on an abstract and continuous scale
allowing the platform (e.g. remote power processor) to flexibly
optimize CPU performance with its knowledge of power budgets
and other architecture specific knowledge.
This patch adds a shim which exports commonly used functions
to get and set CPPC specific controls for each CPU. This enables
CPUFreq drivers to gather per CPU performance data and use
with exisiting governors or even allows for customized governors
which are implemented inside CPUFreq drivers.
