    cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use HWP capabilities in intel_cpufreq_adjust_perf() · 17ffd358
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    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()
    to always read the "guaranteed" and "maximum turbo" performance
    levels from the cached HWP_CAP value.
