cpufreq: intel_pstate: Do not use performance_limits in passive mode
If the current P-state selection algorithm is set to "performance"
in intel_pstate_set_policy(), the limits may be initialized from
scratch, but only if no_turbo is not set and the maximum frequency
allowed for the given CPU (i.e. the policy object representing it)
is at least equal to the max frequency supported by the CPU. In all
of the other cases, the limits will not be updated.
For example, the following can happen:
# cat intel_pstate/status
active
# echo performance > cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor
# cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
100
# echo 94 > intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
# cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
100
# cat cpufreq/policy0/scaling_max_freq
3100000
echo 3000000 > cpufreq/policy0/scaling_max_freq
# cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
94
# echo 95 > intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
# cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
95
That is confusing for two reasons. First, the initial attempt to
change min_perf_pct to 94 seems to have no effect, even though
setting the global limits should always work. Second, after
changing scaling_max_freq for policy0 the global min_perf_pct
attribute shows 94, even though it should have not been affected
by that operation in principle.
Moreover, the final attempt to change min_perf_pct to 95 worked
as expected, because scaling_max_freq for the only policy with
scaling_governor equal to "performance" was different from the
maximum at that time.
To make all that confusion go away, modify intel_pstate_set_policy()
so that it doesn't reinitialize the limits at all.
At the same time, change intel_pstate_set_performance_limits() to
set min_sysfs_pct to 100 in the "performance" limits set so that
switching the P-state selection algorithm to "performance" causes
intel_pstate/min_perf_pct in sysfs to go to 100 (or whatever value
min_sysfs_pct in the "performance" limits is set to later).
That requires per-CPU limits to be initialized explicitly rather
than by copying the global limits to avoid setting min_sysfs_pct
in the per-CPU limits to 100.

The code added to intel_pstate_verify_policy() by commit 1443ebbacf
(cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix sysfs limits enforcement for performance
policy) should use perf_limits instead of limits, because otherwise
setting global limits via sysfs may affect policies inconsistently.
For example, in the sequence of shell commands below, the
scaling_min_freq attribute for policy1 and policy2 should be
affected in the same way, because scaling_governor is set in
the same way for both of them:
# cat cpufreq/policy1/scaling_governor
powersave
# cat cpufreq/policy2/scaling_governor
powersave
# echo performance > cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor
# echo 94 > intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
# cat cpufreq/policy0/scaling_min_freq
2914000
# cat cpufreq/policy1/scaling_min_freq
2914000
# cat cpufreq/policy2/scaling_min_freq
800000
The are affected differently, because intel_pstate_verify_policy()
is invoked with limits set to &performance_limits (left behind by
policy0) for policy1 and with limits set to &powersave_limits (left
behind by policy1) for policy2. Since perf_limits is set to the
set of limits matching the policy being updated, using it instead
of limits fixes the inconsistency.

Commit 111b8b3fe4 (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Always keep all
limits settings in sync) changed intel_pstate to invoke
cpufreq_update_policy() for every registered CPU on global sysfs
attributes updates, but that led to undesirable effects in the
active mode if the "performance" P-state selection algorithm is
configufred for one CPU and the "powersave" one is chosen for
all of the other CPUs.
Namely, in that case, the following is possible:
# cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/
# cat intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
100
# cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
26
# echo performance > cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor
# cat intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
100
# cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
100
# echo 94 > intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
# cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
26
The reason why this happens is because intel_pstate attempts to
maintain two sets of global limits in the active mode, one for
the "performance" P-state selection algorithm and one for the
"powersave" P-state selection algorithm, but the P-state selection
algorithms are set per policy, so the global limits cannot reflect
all of them at the same time if they are different for different
policies.
In the particular situation above, the attempt to change
min_perf_pct to 94 caused cpufreq_update_policy() to be run
for a CPU with the "powersave" P-state selection algorithm
and intel_pstate_set_policy() called by it silently switched the
global limits to the "powersave" set which finally was reflected
by the sysfs interface.
To prevent that from happening, modify intel_pstate_update_policies()
to always switch back to the set of limits that was used right before
it has been invoked.

In the passive mode the cpu_frequency trace event is already
triggered by the cpufreq core or by scaling governors, so
intel_pstate should not trigger it once again for the same
P-state updates.
In addition to that, the frequency returned by
intel_cpufreq_fast_switch() and passed via freqs.new from
intel_cpufreq_target() to cpufreq_freq_transition_end() should
reflect the P-state actually set, so make that happen.

The intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() called from
intel_cpufreq_verify_policy() may cause global P-state limits
to change which is generally confusing and unnecessary.
In the passive mode the global limits are only applied to the
frequency selected by the scaling governor (they are not taken
into account by governors when making decisions anyway), so making
them follow the per-policy limits serves no purpose and may go
against user expectations (as it generally causes the global
attributes in sysfs to change even though they have not been
written to in some cases).
Fix that by dropping the intel_pstate_update_perf_limits()
invocation from intel_cpufreq_verify_policy() (which also
reduces the code size by a few lines).
This change does not affect the per-CPU limits case, because those
limits allow any P-state to be set by default in the passive mode
and it removes the only piece of code updating them in that mode,
so the per-policy settings will be the only ones taken into account
in that case as expected.

Using performance_limits in the passive mode doesn't make
sense, because in that mode the global limits are applied to the
frequency selected by the scaling governor.
The maximum and minimum P-state limits in performance_limits are both
set to 100 percent which will put all CPUs into the turbo range
regardless of what governor is used and what frequencies are
selected by it (that is particularly undesirable on CPUs with the
generic powersave governor attached).
For this reason, make intel_pstate_register_driver() always point
limits to powersave_limits in the passive mode.

eliminated quirks, backmerged fixes plus I rebased it to an upstream
SHA1 from yesterday that includes most changes queued up in -next plus
all sched.h changes that were pending from Andrew.
I've re-tested the series both on x86 and on cross-arch defconfigs,
and did a bisectability test at a number of random points.
I tried to test as many build configurations as possible, but some

There is a problem with intel_pstate operation mode switching
introduced by commit fb1fe1041c (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Operation
mode control from sysfs), because the global sysfs limits are
preserved across operation modes while per-policy limits are
reinitialized from scratch on a mode switch and both sets of limits
may get out of sync this way.
Fix that by always reinitializing the global limits upon the
registration of the driver.

Some Kabylake desktop processors may not reach max turbo when running in
HWP mode, even if running under sustained 100% utilization.
This occurs when the HWP.EPP (Energy Performance Preference) is set to
"balance_power" (0x80) -- the default on most systems.
It occurs because the platform BIOS may erroneously enable an
energy-efficiency setting -- MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL BIT-EE, which is not
recommended to be enabled on this SKU.
On the failing systems, this BIOS issue was not discovered when the
desktop motherboard was tested with Windows, because the BIOS also
neglects to provide the ACPI/CPPC table, that Windows requires to enable
HWP, and so Windows runs in legacy P-state mode, where this setting has
no effect.
Linux' intel_pstate driver does not require ACPI/CPPC to enable HWP, and
so it runs in HWP mode, exposing this incorrect BIOS configuration.
There are several ways to address this problem.
First, Linux can also run in legacy P-state mode on this system.
As intel_pstate is how Linux enables HWP, booting with
"intel_pstate=disable"
will run in acpi-cpufreq/ondemand legacy p-state mode.
Or second, the "performance" governor can be used with intel_pstate,
which will modify HWP.EPP to 0.
Or third, starting in 4.10, the
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/energy_performance_preference
attribute in can be updated from "balance_power" to "performance".
Or fourth, apply this patch, which fixes the erroneous setting of
MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL BIT_EE on this model, allowing the default
configuration to function as designed.

When turbo is not disabled by BIOS, but user disabled from intel P-State
sysfs and changes max/min using cpufreq sysfs, the resultant frequency
is lower than what user requested.
The reason for this, when the perf limits are calculated in set_policy()
callback, they are with reference to max cpu frequency (turbo frequency
), but when enforced in the intel_pstate_get_min_max() they are with
reference to max available performance as documented in the intel_pstate
documentation (in this case max non turbo P-State).
This needs similar change as done in intel_cpufreq_verify_policy() for

Make it possible to change the operation mode of intel_pstate with
the help of a new sysfs attribute called "status".
There are three possible configurations that can be selected using
this attribute:
"off" - The driver is not in use at this time.
"active" - The driver works as a P-state governor (default).
"passive" - The driver works as a regular cpufreq one and collaborates
with the generic cpufreq governors (it sets P-states as
requested by those governors). [This is the same mode
the driver can be started in by passing intel_pstate=passive
in the kernel command line.]
The current setting is returned by reads from this attribute. Writing
one of the above strings to it changes the operation mode as indicated
by that string, if possible.
If HW-managed P-states (HWP) feature is enabled, it is not possible
to change the driver's operation mode and attempts to write to this
attribute will fail.

A side effect of keeping intel_pstate sysfs limits in sync with cpufreq
is that the now sysfs limits can't enforced under performance policy.
For example, if the max_perf_pct is changed from 100 to 80, this will call
intel_pstate_set_policy(), which will change the max_perf to 100 again for
performance policy. Same issue happens, when no_turbo is set.
This change calculates max and min frequency using sysfs performance
limits in intel_pstate_verify_policy() and adjusts policy limits by
calling cpufreq_verify_within_limits().
Also, it causes the setting of performance limits to be skipped if
no_turbo is set.

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.

The addition of the generic governor support marked the

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.

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 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".

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.

Use get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load() to calculate target P-State for

This may help in resolving some thermal issues caused by low sustained

When policy->max and policy->min are same, in some cases they don't
result in the same frequency cap. The max_policy_pct is rounded up but
not min_perf_pct. So even when they are same, results in different
percentage or maximum and minimum.
Since minimum is a conservative value for power, a lower value without
rounding is better in most of the cases, unless user wants
policy->max = policy->min.

Intel P-State offers two interface to set performance limits:
- Intel P-State sysfs
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
- cpufreq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
In the current implementation both of the above methods, change limits
to every CPU in the system. Moreover the limits placed using cpufreq
policy interface also presented in the Intel P-State sysfs via modified
max_perf_pct and min_per_pct during sysfs reads. This allows to check
percent of reduced/increased performance, irrespective of method used to
limit.
There are some new generations of processors, where it is possible to
have limits placed on individual CPU cores. Using cpufreq interface it
is possible to set limits on each CPU. But the current processing will
use last limits placed on all CPUs. So the per core limit feature of
CPUs can't be used.
This change brings in capability to set P-States limits for each CPU,
with some limitations. In this case what should be the read of
max_perf_pct and min_perf_pct? It can be most restrictive limits placed
on any CPU or max possible performance on any given CPU on which no
limits are placed. In either case someone will have issue.
So the consensus is, we can't have both sysfs controls present when user
wants to use limit per core limits.
- By default per-core-control feature is not enabled. So no one will
notice any difference.
- The way to enable is by kernel command line
intel_pstate=per_cpu_perf_limits
- When the per-core-controls are enabled there is no display of for both
read and write on
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
- User can change limits using
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
- User can still observe turbo percent and number of P-States from
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/turbo_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/num_pstates
- User can read write system wide turbo status
/sys/devices/system/cpu/no_turbo
While changing this BUG_ON is changed to WARN_ON, as they are not fatal
errors for the system.

The only times at which intel_pstate checks the policy set for
a given CPU is the initialization of that CPU and updates of its
policy settings from cpufreq when intel_pstate_set_policy() is
invoked.
That is insufficient, however, because intel_pstate uses the same
P-state selection function for all CPUs regardless of the policy
setting for each of them and the P-state limits are shared between
them. Thus if the policy is set to "performance" for a particular
CPU, it may not behave as expected if the cpufreq settings are
changed subsequently for another CPU.
That can be easily demonstrated by writing "performance" to
scaling_governor for all CPUs and then switching it to "powersave"
for one of them in which case all of the CPUs will behave as though
their scaling_governor were all "powersave" (even though the policy
still appears to be "performance" for the remaining CPUs).
Fix this problem by modifying intel_pstate_adjust_busy_pstate() to
always set the P-state to the maximum allowed by the current limits
for all CPUs whose policy is set to "performance".
Note that it still is recommended to always change the policy setting
in the same way for all CPUs even with this fix applied to avoid
confusion.

After commit a4675fbc4a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with
utilization update callbacks) the cpufreq governor callbacks may not
be invoked on NOHZ_FULL CPUs and, in particular, switching to the
"performance" policy via sysfs may not have any effect on them. That
is a problem, because it usually is desirable to squeeze the last
bit of performance out of those CPUs, so work around it by setting
the maximum P-state (within the limits) in intel_pstate_set_policy()
upfront when the policy is CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE.

The new algorithm will set the new P-state to be 1.25 times the
available maximum times the (frequency-invariant) utilization during
the previous sampling period except when the target P-state computed
this way is lower than the average P-state during the previous
sampling period. In the latter case, it will increase the target by
50% of the difference between it and the average P-state to prevent
performance from dropping down too fast in some cases.
