cpufreq: intel_pstate: Allow enable/disable energy efficiency
By default intel_pstate the driver disables energy efficiency by setting MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL bit 19 for Kaby Lake desktop CPU model in HWP mode. This CPU model is also shared by Coffee Lake desktop CPUs. This allows these systems to reach maximum possible frequency. But this adds power penalty, which some customers don't want. They want some way to enable/ disable dynamically. So, add an additional attribute "energy_efficiency" under /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/ for these CPU models. This allows to read and write bit 19 ("Disable Energy Efficiency Optimization") in the MSR IA32_POWER_CTL. This attribute is present in both HWP and non-HWP mode as this has an effect in both modes. Refer to Intel Software Developer's manual for details. The scope of this bit is package wide. Also these systems are single package systems. So read/write MSR on the current CPU is enough. The energy efficiency (EE) bit setting needs to be preserved during suspend/resume and CPU offline/online operation. To do this: - Restoring the EE setting from the cpufreq resume() callback, if there is change from the system default. - By default, don't disable EE from cpufreq init() callback for matching CPU models. Since the scope is package wide and is a single package system, move the disable EE calls from init() callback to intel_pstate_init() function, which is called only once.
