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.

This won't work for legacy non device-tree platforms where pxa2xx-cpufreq is still required.

The earlier implementation of governors used background timers and so functions, mutex, etc had 'timer' keyword in their names. But that's not true anymore. Replace 'timer' with 'update', as those functions, variables are based around updates to frequency. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

As fast_switch() may get called with interrupt disable mode, we cannot hold a mutex to update the global_pstate_info. So currently, fast_switch() does not update the global_pstate_info and it will end up with stale data whenever pstate is updated through fast_switch(). As the gpstate_timer can fire after fast_switch() has updated the pstates, the timer handler cannot rely on the cached values of local and global pstate and needs to read it from the PMCR. Only gpstate_timer_handler() is affected by the stale cached pstate data beacause either fast_switch() or target_index() routines will be called for a given govenor, but gpstate_timer can fire after the governor has changed to schedutil.

In order to aid debugging, we add a debugfs interface to the driver that allows direct interaction with the AVS co-processor. The debugfs interface provides a means for reading all and writing some of the mailbox registers directly from the shell prompt and enables a user to execute the communications protocol between ARM CPU and AVS CPU step-by-step. This interface should be used for debugging purposes only. Signed-off-by: Markus Mayer <mmayer@broadcom.com> Acked-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This driver supports voltage and frequency scaling on Broadcom STB SoCs using AVS firmware with DFS and DVFS support. Actual frequency or voltage scaling is done exclusively by the AVS firmware. The driver merely provides a standard CPUfreq interface to other kernel components and userland, and instructs the AVS firmware to perform frequency or voltage changes on its behalf.

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. This change uses use the same policy percentage when policy->max and policy->min are same. Signed-off-by: Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

After commit a4675fbc (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.
