Make the schedutil governor take the initial (default) value of the
rate_limit_us sysfs attribute from the (new) transition_delay_us
policy parameter (to be set by the scaling driver).
That will allow scaling drivers to make schedutil use smaller default
values of rate_limit_us and reduce the default average time interval
between consecutive frequency changes.
Make intel_pstate set transition_delay_us to 500.

The schedutil governor reduces frequencies too fast in some
situations which cases undesirable performance drops to
appear.
To address that issue, make schedutil reduce the frequency slower by
setting it to the average of the value chosen during the previous
iteration of governor computations and the new one coming from its
frequency selection formula.

Some computations in intel_pstate_get_min_max() are not necessary
and one of its two callers doesn't even use the full result.
First off, the fixed-point value of cpu->max_perf represents a
non-negative number between 0 and 1 inclusive and cpu->min_perf
cannot be greater than cpu->max_perf. It is not necessary to check
those conditions every time the numbers in question are used.
Moreover, since intel_pstate_max_within_limits() only needs the
upper boundary, it doesn't make sense to compute the lower one in
there and returning min and max from intel_pstate_get_min_max()
via pointers doesn't look particularly nice.
For the above reasons, drop intel_pstate_get_min_max(), add a helper
to get the base P-state for min/max computations and carry out them
directly in the previous callers of intel_pstate_get_min_max().

intel_pstate_hwp_set() is the only function walking policy->cpus
in intel_pstate. The rest of the code simply assumes one CPU per
policy, including the initialization code.
Therefore it doesn't make sense for intel_pstate_hwp_set() to
walk policy->cpus as it is guaranteed to have only one bit set
for policy->cpu.
For this reason, rearrange intel_pstate_hwp_set() to take the CPU
number as the argument and drop the loop over policy->cpus from it.

Avoid using extra function pointers during P-state selection by
dropping the get_target_pstate member from struct pstate_funcs,

invoke specific P-state selection functions directly.

Notice that some overhead in the utilization update callbacks
registered by intel_pstate in the active mode can be avoided if
those callbacks are tailored to specific configurations of the
driver. For example, the utilization update callback for the HWP
enabled case only needs to update the average CPU performance
periodically whereas the utilization update callback for the
PID-based algorithm does not need to take IO-wait boosting into
account and so on.
With that in mind, define three utilization update callbacks for
three different use cases: HWP enabled, the CPU load "powersave"
P-state selection algorithm and the PID-based "powersave" P-state
selection algorithm and modify the driver initialization to
choose the callback matching its current configuration.

The driver_registered variable in intel_pstate is used for checking

intel_pstate_busy_pid_reset() is the only caller of pid_reset(),
pid_p_gain_set(), pid_i_gain_set(), and pid_d_gain_set(). Moreover,
it passes constants as two parameters of pid_reset() and all of
the other routines above essentially contain the same code, so
fold all of them into the caller and drop unnecessary computations.
Introduce percent_fp() for converting integer values in percent

Also change the loop from for_each_online_cpu() (which is obviously
racy with respect to CPU offline/online) to for_each_possible_cpu(),

Both intel_pstate_verify_policy() and intel_cpufreq_verify_policy()
set policy->cpuinfo.max_freq depending on the turbo status, but the
updates made by them are discarded by the core, because the policy
object passed to them by the core is temporary and cpuinfo.max_freq
from that object is not copied to the final policy object in
cpufreq_set_policy().
However, cpufreq_set_policy() passes the temporary policy object
to the ->setpolicy callback of the driver, so intel_pstate_set_policy()
actually sees the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq value updated by
intel_pstate_verify_policy() and not the final one. It also
updates policy->max sometimes which basically has no effect after
it returns, because the core discards that update.
To avoid confusion, eliminate policy->cpuinfo.max_freq updates from
intel_pstate_verify_policy() and intel_cpufreq_verify_policy()
entirely and check the maximum frequency explicitly in
intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() instead of relying on the
transiently updated policy->cpuinfo.max_freq value.
Moreover, move the max->policy adjustment carried out in
intel_pstate_set_policy() to a separate function and call that
function from the ->verify driver callbacks to ensure that it will
actually be effective.

The coordination of P-state limits used by intel_pstate in the active
mode (ie. by default) is problematic, because it synchronizes all of
the limits (ie. the global ones and the per-policy ones) so as to use
one common pair of P-state limits (min and max) across all CPUs in
the system. The drawbacks of that are as follows:
- If P-states are coordinated in hardware, it is not necessary
to coordinate them in software on top of that, so in that case
all of the above activity is in vain.
- If P-states are not coordinated in hardware, then the processor
is actually capable of setting different P-states for different
CPUs and coordinating them at the software level simply doesn't
allow that capability to be utilized.
- The coordination works in such a way that setting a per-policy
limit (eg. scaling_max_freq) for one CPU causes the common
effective limit to change (and it will affect all of the other
CPUs too), but subsequent reads from the corresponding sysfs
attributes for the other CPUs will return stale values (which
is confusing).
- Reads from the global P-state limit attributes, min_perf_pct and
max_perf_pct, return the effective common values and not the last
values set through these attributes. However, the last values
set through these attributes become hard limits that cannot be
exceeded by writes to scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq,
respectively, and they are not exposed, so essentially users
have to remember what they are.
All of that is painful enough to warrant a change of the management
of P-state limits in the active mode.
To that end, redesign the active mode P-state limits management in
intel_pstate in accordance with the following rules:
(1) All CPUs are affected by the global limits (that is, none of
them can be requested to run faster than the global max and
none of them can be requested to run slower than the global
min).
(2) Each individual CPU is affected by its own per-policy limits
(that is, it cannot be requested to run faster than its own
per-policy max and it cannot be requested to run slower than
its own per-policy min).
(3) The global and per-policy limits can be set independently.
Also, the global maximum and minimum P-state limits will be always
expressed as percentages of the maximum supported turbo P-state.

Currently, some processors supporting HWP are only supported by
intel_pstate if HWP is actually going to be used and not supported
otherwise which is confusing.
Specifically, they are not supported if "intel_pstate=no_hwp" is
passed to the kernel in the command line or if the driver is started
in the passive mode ("intel_pstate=passive").
There is no real reason for that, because everything about those
processor is known anyway and the driver can work with them in all
modes, so make that happen, but use the load-based P-state selection
algorithm for the active mode "powersave" policy with them.

sugov_update_commit() calls trace_cpu_frequency() to record the
current CPU frequency if it has not changed in the fast switch case
to prevent utilities from getting confused (they may report that the
CPU is idle if the frequency has not been recorded for too long, for
example).
However, that may cause the tracepoint to be triggered quite often
for no real reason (if the frequency doesn't change, we will not
modify the last update time stamp and governor computations may
run again shortly when that happens), so don't do that (arguably, it
is done to work around a utilities bug anyway).
That allows code duplication in sugov_update_commit() to be reduced
somewhat too.

The way the schedutil governor uses the PELT metric causes it to
underestimate the CPU utilization in some cases.
That can be easily demonstrated by running kernel compilation on
a Sandy Bridge Intel processor, running turbostat in parallel with
it and looking at the values written to the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL
register. Namely, the expected result would be that when all CPUs
were 100% busy, all of them would be requested to run in the maximum
P-state, but observation shows that this clearly isn't the case.
The CPUs run in the maximum P-state for a while and then are
requested to run slower and go back to the maximum P-state after
a while again. That causes the actual frequency of the processor to
visibly oscillate below the sustainable maximum in a jittery fashion
which clearly is not desirable.
That has been attributed to CPU utilization metric updates on task
migration that cause the total utilization value for the CPU to be
reduced by the utilization of the migrated task. If that happens,
the schedutil governor may see a CPU utilization reduction and will
attempt to reduce the CPU frequency accordingly right away. That
may be premature, though, for example if the system is generally
busy and there are other runnable tasks waiting to be run on that
CPU already.
This is unlikely to be an issue on systems where cpufreq policies are
shared between multiple CPUs, because in those cases the policy
utilization is computed as the maximum of the CPU utilization values
over the whole policy and if that turns out to be low, reducing the
frequency for the policy most likely is a good idea anyway. On
systems with one CPU per policy, however, it may affect performance
adversely and even lead to increased energy consumption in some cases.
On those systems it may be addressed by taking another utilization
metric into consideration, like whether or not the CPU whose
frequency is about to be reduced has been idle recently, because if
that's not the case, the CPU is likely to be busy in the near future
and its frequency should not be reduced.
To that end, use the counter of idle calls in the timekeeping code.
Namely, make the schedutil governor look at that counter for the
current CPU every time before its frequency is about to be reduced.
If the counter has not changed since the previous iteration of the
governor computations for that CPU, the CPU has been busy for all
that time and its frequency should not be decreased, so if the new
frequency would be lower than the one set previously, the governor
will skip the frequency update.

The policy->cpuinfo.max_freq and policy->max updates in
intel_cpufreq_turbo_update() are excessive as they are done for no
good reason and may lead to problems in principle, so they should be
dropped. However, after dropping them intel_cpufreq_turbo_update()
becomes almost entirely pointless, because the check made by it is
made again down the road in intel_pstate_prepare_request(). The
only thing in it that still needs to be done is the call to
update_turbo_state(), so drop intel_cpufreq_turbo_update() altogether
and make its callers invoke update_turbo_state() directly instead of
it.
In addition to that, fix intel_cpufreq_verify_policy() so that it
