Stratos Karafotis 317dd50e80 cpufreq: intel_pstate: Make intel_pstate_kobject and debugfs_parent locals
Since we never remove sysfs entry and debugfs files, we can make
the intel_pstate_kobject and debugfs_parent locals.

Also, annotate with __init intel_pstate_sysfs_expose_params()
and intel_pstate_debug_expose_params() in order to be freed
after bootstrap.

Vincent Minet 179e847167 intel_pstate: Set CPU number before accessing MSRs
Ensure that cpu->cpu is set before writing MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL during CPU
initialization. Otherwise only cpu0 has its P-state set and all other
cores are left with their values unchanged.

In most cases, this is not too serious because the P-states will be set
correctly when the timer function is run.  But when the default governor
is set to performance, the per-CPU current_pstate stays the same forever
and no attempts are made to write the MSRs again.

Dirk Brandewie dd5fbf70f9 intel_pstate: don't touch turbo bit if turbo disabled or unavailable.
If turbo is disabled in the BIOS bit 38 should be set in
MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE register per section 14.3.2.1 of the SDM Vol 3
document 325384-050US Feb 2014.  If this bit is set do *not* attempt
to disable trubo via the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL register.  On some systems
trying to disable turbo via MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL will cause subsequent
writes to MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL not take affect, in fact reading
MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL will not show the IDA/Turbo DISENGAGE bit(32) as
set. A write of bit 32 to zero returns to normal operation.

Also deal with the case where the processor does not support
turbo and the BIOS does not report the fact in MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE
but does report the max and turbo P states as the same value.

Dirk Brandewie c16ed06024 intel_pstate: Fix setting VID
Commit 21855ff5 (intel_pstate: Set turbo VID for BayTrail) introduced
setting the turbo VID which is required to prevent a machine check on
some Baytrail SKUs under heavy graphics based workloads.  The
docmumentation update that brought the requirement to light also
changed the bit mask used for enumerating P state and VID values from
0x7f to 0x3f.

This change returns the mask value to 0x7f.

Tested with the Intel NUC DN2820FYK,
BIOS version FYBYT10H.86A.0034.2014.0513.1413 with v3.16-rc1 and
v3.14.8 kernel versions.

Doug Smythies 51d211e9c3 intel_pstate: Correct rounding in busy calculation
There was a mistake in the actual rounding portion this previous patch:
f0fe3cd7e1 (intel_pstate: Correct rounding in busy calculation) such that
the rounding was asymetric and incorrect.

Severity: Not very serious, but can increase target pstate by one extra value.
For real world work flows the issue should self correct (but I have no proof).
It is the equivalent of different PID gains for positive and negative numbers.

Examples:
 -3.000000 used to round to -4, rounds to -3 with this patch.
 -3.503906 used to round to -5, rounds to -4 with this patch.

Dirk Brandewie c4ee841f60 intel_pstate: add sample time scaling
The PID assumes that samples are of equal time, which for a deferable
timers this is not true when the system goes idle.  This causes the
PID to take a long time to converge to the min P state and depending
on the pattern of the idle load can make the P state appear stuck.

The hold-off value of three sample times before using the scaling is
to give a grace period for applications that have high performance
requirements and spend a lot of time idle,  The poster child for this
behavior is the ffmpeg benchmark in the Phoronix test suite.

Dirk Brandewie d40a63c45b intel_pstate: remove setting P state to MAX on init
Setting the P state of the core to max at init time is a hold over
from early implementation of intel_pstate where intel_pstate disabled
cpufreq and loaded VERY early in the boot sequence.  This was to
ensure that intel_pstate did not affect boot time. This in not needed
now that intel_pstate is a cpufreq driver.

Removing this covers the case where a CPU has gone through a manual
CPU offline/online cycle and the P state is set to MAX on init and the
CPU immediately goes idle.  Due to HW coordination the P state request
on the idle CPU will drag all cores to MAX P state until the load is
reevaluated when to core goes non-idle.

Dirk Brandewie e66c176837 intel_pstate: Change busy calculation to use fixed point math.
Commit fcb6a15c2e (intel_pstate: Take core C0 time into account for
core busy calculation) introduced a regression on some processor SKUs
supported by intel_pstate. This was due to the truncation caused by
using integer math to calculate core busy and C0 percentages.

On a i7-4770K processor operating at 800Mhz going to 100% utilization
the percent busy of the CPU using integer math is 22%, but it actually
is 22.85%.  This value scaled to the current frequency returned 97
which the PID interpreted as no error and did not adjust the P state.

Tested on i7-4770K, i7-2600, i5-3230M.

Remove the periodic P state boost.  This code required for some corner

Adrian Huang fbbcdc0744 intel_pstate: skip the driver if ACPI has power mgmt option
Do not load the Intel pstate driver if the platform firmware
(ACPI BIOS) supports the power management alternatives.
The ACPI BIOS indicates that the OS control mode can be used
if the _PSS (Performance Supported States) is defined in ACPI
table. For the OS control mode, the Intel pstate driver will be
loaded.

HP BIOS has several power management modes (firmware, OS-control and
so on). For the OS control mode in HP BIOS, the Intel p-state driver
will be loaded. When the customer chooses the firmware power
management in HP BIOS, the Intel p-state driver will be ignored.

I put hw_vendor_info vendor_info in case other vendors (Dell, Lenovo...)
have their firmware power management. Vendors should make sure their
firmware power management works properly, and they can go for adding
their vendor info to the variable.

I have verified the patch on HP ProLiant servers.  The patch worked
correctly.

the BIOS is configured to provide the power management, the
intel_pstate driver does not load and we get the pcc_cpufreq driver
instead.]

This patch addresses Bug 60727
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60727)
which was due to the truncation of intermediate values in the
calculations, which causes the code to consistently underestimate the
current cpu frequency, specifically 100% cpu utilization was truncated
down to the setpoint of 97%. This patch fixes the problem by keeping
the results of all intermediate calculations as fixed point numbers
rather scaling them back and forth between integers and fixed point.

Paul Gortmaker 2760984f65 cpufreq: delete __cpuinit usage from all cpufreq files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the drivers/cpufreq uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.

Dirk Brandewie ca182aee38 cpufreq / intel_pstate: fix ffmpeg regression
The ffmpeg benchmark in the phoronix test suite has threads on
multiple cores that rely on the progress on of threads on other cores
and ping pong back and forth fast enough to make the core appear less
busy than it "should" be.  If the core has been at minimum p-state for
a while bump the pstate up to kick the core to see if it is in this
ping pong state.  If the core is truly idle the p-state will be
reduced at the next sample time.  If the core makes more progress it
will send more work to the thread bringing both threads out of the
ping pong scenario and the p-state will be selected normally.

This fixes a performance regression of approximately 30%

The acpi-thermal driver adjusts the p-state policy in response to

Use the lowest of the two requested values this ensures that we will

allocated and return. intel_pstate_exit() function is removed since we
are built-in only now there is no reason for a module exit procedure.

Dirk Brandewie 6be2649861 cpufreq / intel_pstate: Add kernel command line option disable intel_pstate.
When intel_pstate is configured into the kernel it will become the
preferred scaling driver for processors that it supports.  Allow the
user to override this by adding:
   intel_pstate=disable
on the kernel command line.

Dirk Brandewie 93f0822dff cpufreq/x86: Add P-state driver for sandy bridge.
Add a P-state driver for the Intel Sandy bridge processor. In cpufreq
terminology this driver implements a  scaling driver with an internal
governor.

When built into the the kernel this driver will be the preferred
scaling driver for Sandy bridge processors.

In addition to the interfaces provided by the cpufreq subsystem for
controlling scaling drivers. The user may control the behavior of the
driver via three sysfs files located in
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate".

  max_perf_pct: limits the maximum P state that will be requested by
  the driver stated as a percentage of the avail performance.

  min_perf_pct: limits the minimum P state that will be  requested by
  the driver stated as a percentage of the avail performance.

  no_turbo: limits the driver to selecting P states below the turbo
  frequency range.
