Dynamic boosting of HWP performance on IO wake showed significant
improvement to IO workloads. This series was intended for Skylake Xeon
platforms only and feature was enabled by default based on CPU model
number.

But some Xeon platforms reused the Skylake desktop CPU model number. This
caused some undesirable side effects to some graphics workloads. Since
they are heavily IO bound, the increase in CPU performance decreased the
power available for GPU to do its computing and hence decrease in graphics
benchmark performance.

For example on a Skylake desktop, GpuTest benchmark showed average FPS
reduction from 529 to 506.

This change makes sure that HWP boost feature is only enabled for Skylake
server platforms by using ACPI FADT preferred PM Profile. If some desktop
users wants to get benefit of boost, they can still enable boost from
intel_pstate sysfs attribute "hwp_dynamic_boost".

<title>cpufreq: intel_pstate: Register when ACPI PCCH is present</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, intel_pstate doesn't register if _PSS is not present on
HP Proliant systems, because it expects the firmware to take over
CPU performance scaling in that case.  However, if ACPI PCCH is
present, the firmware expects the kernel to use it for CPU
performance scaling and the pcc-cpufreq driver is loaded for that.

Unfortunately, the firmware interface used by that driver is not
scalable for fundamental reasons, so pcc-cpufreq is way suboptimal
on systems with more than just a few CPUs.  In fact, it is better to
avoid using it at all.

For this reason, modify intel_pstate to look for ACPI PCCH if _PSS
is not present and register if it is there.  Also prevent the
pcc-cpufreq driver from trying to initialize itself if intel_pstate
has been registered already.

<title>cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix scaling max/min limits with Turbo 3.0</title>

<id>ff7c9917143b3a6cf2fa61212a32d67cf259bf9c</id>
<content type='text'>
When scaling max/min settings are changed, internally they are converted
to a ratio using the max turbo 1 core turbo frequency. This works fine
when 1 core max is same irrespective of the core. But under Turbo 3.0,
this will not be the case. For example:
Core 0: max turbo pstate: 43 (4.3GHz)
Core 1: max turbo pstate: 45 (4.5GHz)
In this case 1 core turbo ratio will be maximum of all, so it will be
45 (4.5GHz). Suppose scaling max is set to 4GHz (ratio 40) for all cores
,then on core one it will be
 = max_state * policy-&gt;max / max_freq;
 = 43 * (4000000/4500000) = 38 (3.8GHz)
 = 38
which is 200MHz less than the desired.
On core2, it will be correctly set to ratio 40 (4GHz). Same holds true
for scaling min frequency limit. So this requires usage of correct turbo
max frequency for core one, which in this case is 4.3GHz. So we need to
adjust per CPU cpu-&gt;pstate.turbo_freq using the maximum HWP ratio of that
core.

This change uses the HWP capability of a core to adjust max turbo
frequency. But since Broadwell HWP doesn't use ratios in the HWP
capabilities, we have to use legacy max 1 core turbo ratio. This is not
a problem as the HWP capabilities don't differ among cores in Broadwell.
We need to check for non Broadwell CPU model for applying this change,
though.

<title>treewide: Use array_size() in vzalloc()</title>

<id>fad953ce0b22cfd352a9a90b070c34b8791e6868</id>
<content type='text'>
The vzalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication
factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of:

        vzalloc(a * b)

with:
        vzalloc(array_size(a, b))

as well as handling cases of:

        vzalloc(a * b * c)

with:

        vzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c))

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        vzalloc(4 * 1024)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

The vzalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication
factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of:

        vzalloc(a * b)

with:
        vzalloc(array_size(a, b))

as well as handling cases of:

        vzalloc(a * b * c)

with:

        vzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c))

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        vzalloc(4 * 1024)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

This change uses SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT flag to boost HWP performance.
Since SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT flag is set frequently, we don't start
boosting steps unless we see two consecutive flags in two ticks. This
avoids boosting due to IO because of regular system activities.

To avoid synchronization issues, the actual processing of the flag is
done on the local CPU callback.

<id>e0efd5be63e821066b5e6325cf237eb41367552f</id>
<content type='text'>
Added two utility functions to HWP boost up gradually and boost down to
the default cached HWP request values.

Boost up:
Boost up updates HWP request minimum value in steps. This minimum value
can reach upto at HWP request maximum values depends on how frequently,
this boost up function is called. At max, boost up will take three steps
to reach the maximum, depending on the current HWP request levels and HWP
capabilities. For example, if the current settings are:
If P0 (Turbo max) = P1 (Guaranteed max) = min
        No boost at all.
If P0 (Turbo max) &gt; P1 (Guaranteed max) = min
        Should result in one level boost only for P0.
If P0 (Turbo max) = P1 (Guaranteed max) &gt; min
        Should result in two level boost:
                (min + p1)/2 and P1.
If P0 (Turbo max) &gt; P1 (Guaranteed max) &gt; min
        Should result in three level boost:
                (min + p1)/2, P1 and P0.
We don't set any level between P0 and P1 as there is no guarantee that
they will be honored.

Boost down:
After the system is idle for hold time of 3ms, the HWP request is reset
to the default value from HWP init or user modified one via sysfs.

Caching of HWP Request and Capabilities
Store the HWP request value last set using MSR_HWP_REQUEST and read
MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES. This avoid reading of MSRs in the boost utility
functions.

These boost utility functions calculated limits are based on the latest
HWP request value, which can be modified by setpolicy() callback. So if
user space modifies the minimum perf value, that will be accounted for
every time the boost up is called. There will be case when there can be
contention with the user modified minimum perf, in that case user value
will gain precedence. For example just before HWP_REQUEST MSR is updated
from setpolicy() callback, the boost up function is called via scheduler
tick callback. Here the cached MSR value is already the latest and limits
are updated based on the latest user limits, but on return the MSR write
callback called from setpolicy() callback will update the HWP_REQUEST
value. This will be used till next time the boost up function is called.

In addition add a variable to control HWP dynamic boosting. When HWP
dynamic boost is active then set the HWP specific update util hook. The
contents in the utility hooks will be filled in the subsequent patches.

<title>cpufreq: intel_pstate: allow trace in passive mode</title>

<content type='text'>
Allow use of the trace_pstate_sample trace function
when the intel_pstate driver is in passive mode.
Since the core_busy and scaled_busy fields are not
used, and it might be desirable to know which path
through the driver was used, either intel_cpufreq_target
or intel_cpufreq_fast_switch, re-task the core_busy
field as a flag indicator.

The user can then use the intel_pstate_tracer.py utility
to summarize and plot the trace.

Note: The core_busy feild still goes by that name
in include/trace/events/power.h and within the
intel_pstate_tracer.py script and csv file headers,
but it is graphed as "performance", and called
core_avg_perf now in the intel_pstate driver.

Sometimes, in passive mode, the driver is not called for
many tens or even hundreds of seconds. The user
needs to understand, and not be confused by, this limitation.
