In the current implementation, the response latency between seeing
SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT set and the actual P-state adjustment can be up
to 10ms. It can be reduced by bumping up the P-state to the max at
the time SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT is passed to intel_pstate_update_util().
With this change, the IO performance improves significantly.
For a simple "grep -r . linux" (Here linux is the kernel source
folder) with caches dropped every time on a Broadwell Xeon workstation
with per-core P-states, the user and system time is shorter by as much
as 30% - 40%.
The same performance difference was not observed on clients that don't
support per-core P-state.

The ->get callback in the intel_pstate structure was mostly there
for the scaling_cur_freq sysfs attribute to work, but after commit
f8475cef90 (x86: use common aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu() to calculate
KHz using APERF/MPERF) that attribute uses arch_freq_get_on_cpu()
provided by the x86 arch code on all processors supported by
intel_pstate, so it doesn't need the ->get callback from the
driver any more.
Moreover, the very presence of the ->get callback in the intel_pstate
structure causes the cpuinfo_cur_freq attribute to be present when
intel_pstate operates in the active mode, which is bogus, because
the role of that attribute is to return the current CPU frequency
as seen by the hardware. For intel_pstate, though, this is just an
average frequency and not really current, but computed for the
previous sampling interval (the actual current frequency may be
way different at the point this value is obtained by reading from
cpuinfo_cur_freq), and after commit 82b4e03e01 (intel_pstate: skip
scheduler hook when in "performance" mode) the value in
cpuinfo_cur_freq may be stale or just 0, depending on the driver's
operation mode. In fact, however, on the hardware supported by
intel_pstate there is no way to read the current CPU frequency
from it, so the cpuinfo_cur_freq attribute should not be present
at all when this driver is in use.
For this reason, drop intel_pstate_get() and clear the ->get
callback pointer pointing to it, so that the cpuinfo_cur_freq is
not present for intel_pstate in the active mode any more.

All systems with a defined ACPI preferred profile that are not
"servers" have been using the load-based P-state selection algorithm
in intel_pstate since 4.12-rc1 (mobile systems and laptops have been
using it since 4.10-rc1) and no problems with it have been reported
to date. In particular, no regressions with respect to the PID-based
P-state selection have been reported. Also testing indicates that
the P-state selection algorithm based on CPU load is generally on par
with the PID-based algorithm performance-wise, and for some workloads
it turns out to be better than the other one, while being more
straightforward and easier to understand at the same time.
Moreover, the PID-based P-state selection algorithm in intel_pstate
is known to be unstable in some situation and generally problematic,
the issues with it are hard to address and it has become a
significant maintenance burden.
For these reasons, make intel_pstate use the "powersave" P-state
selection algorithm based on CPU load in the active mode on all
systems and drop the PID-based P-state selection code along with
all things related to it from the driver. Also update the
documentation accordingly.

The busy percent calculated for the Knights Landing (KNL) platform
is 1024 times smaller than the correct busy value. This causes
performance to get stuck at the lowest ratio.
The scaling algorithm used for KNL is performance-based, but it still
looks at the CPU load to set the scaled busy factor to 0 when the
load is less than 1 percent. In this case, since the computed load
is 1024x smaller than it should be, the scaled busy factor will
always be 0, irrespective of CPU business.
This needs a fix similar to the turbostat one in commit b2b34dfe4d
(tools/power turbostat: KNL workaround for %Busy and Avg_MHz).
For this reason, add one more callback to processor-specific
callbacks to specify an MPERF multiplier represented by a number of
bit positions to shift the value of that register to the left to
copmensate for its rate difference with respect to the TSC. This
shift value is used during CPU busy calculations.

When the minimum performance limit percentage is set to the power-up
default, it is possible that minimum performance ratio is off by one.
In the set_policy() callback the minimum ratio is calculated by
applying global.min_perf_pct to turbo_ratio and rounding up, but the
power-up default global.min_perf_pct is already rounded up to the
next percent in min_perf_pct_min(). That results in two round up
operations, so for the default min_perf_pct one of them is not
required.
It is better to remove rounding up in min_perf_pct_min() as this
matches the displayed min_perf_pct prior to commit c5a2ee7dde

In the current model the max/min perf limits are a fraction of current
user space limits to the allowed max_freq or 100% for global limits.
This results in wrong ratio limits calculation because of rounding
issues for some user space limits.
Initially we tried to solve this issue by issue by having more shift
bits to increase precision. Still there are isolated cases where we still
have error.
This can be avoided by using ratios all together. Since the way we get
cpuinfo.max_freq is by multiplying scaling factor to max ratio, we can
easily keep the max/min ratios in terms of ratios and not fractions.
For example:
if the max ratio = 36
cpuinfo.max_freq = 36 * 100000 = 3600000
Suppose user space sets a limit of 1200000, then we can calculate
max ratio limit as
= 36 * 1200000 / 3600000
= 12
This will be correct for any user limits.
The other advantage is that, we don't need to do any calculation in the
fast path as ratio limit is already calculated via set_policy() callback.

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.

Both intel_pstate_verify_policy() and intel_cpufreq_verify_policy()

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

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.

parameters exposed in there. That obviously leads to no end of
issues when the scaling_governor settings differ between CPUs.
The most recent issue was introduced by commit a240c4aa5d (cpufreq:
intel_pstate: Do not reinit performance limits in ->setpolicy)
that eliminated the reinitialization of "performance" limits in
intel_pstate_set_policy() preventing the max limit from being set
to anything below 100, among other things.
Namely, an undesirable side effect of commit a240c4aa5d is that
now, after setting scaling_governor to "performance" in the active
mode, the per-policy limits for the CPU in question go to the highest
level and stay there even when it is switched back to "powersave"
later.
As it turns out, some distributions set scaling_governor to
"performance" temporarily for all CPUs to speed-up system
initialization, so that change causes them to misbehave later.
To fix that, get rid of the performance/powersave global limits
split and use just one set of global limits for everything.
From the user's persepctive, after this modification, when
scaling_governor is switched from "performance" to "powersave"
or the other way around on one CPU, the limits settings (ie. the
global max/min_perf_pct and per-policy scaling_max/min_freq for
any CPUs) will not change. Still, switching from "performance"
to "powersave" or the other way around changes the way in which
P-states are selected and in particular "performance" causes the
driver to always request the highest P-state it is allowed to ask
for for the given CPU.

Currently, intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() first converts the
policy minimum and maximum limits into percentages of the maximum
turbo frequency (rounding up to an integer) and then converts these
percentages to fractions (by using fixed-point arithmetic to divide
them by 100).
That introduces a rounding error unnecessarily, because the fractions
can be obtained by carrying out fixed-point divisions directly on the
input numbers.
Rework the computations in intel_pstate_hwp_set() to use fractions
instead of percentages (and drop redundant local variables from
there) and modify intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() to compute the
fractions directly and percentages out of them.
While at it, introduce percent_ext_fp() for converting percentages
to fractions (with extended number of fraction bits) and use it in
the computations.

In the functions intel_pstate_hwp_set(), min/max range from HWP capability
MSR along with max_perf_pct and min_perf_pct, is used to set the HWP
request MSR. In some cases this doesn't result in the correct HWP max/min
in HWP request.
For example: In the following case:
HWP capabilities from MSR 0x771
0x70a1220
Here cpufreq min/max frequencies from above MSR dump are 700MHz and 3.2GHz
respectively.
This will result in
hwp_min = 0x07
hwp_max = 0x20
To limit max frequency to 2GHz:
perf_limits->max_perf_pct = 63 (2GHz as a percent of 3.2GHz rounded up)
With the current calculation:
adj_range = max_perf_pct * range / 100;
adj_range = 63 * (32 - 7) / 100
adj_range = 15
max = hw_min + adj_range;
max = 7 + 15 = 22
This will result in HWP request of 0x160f, which will result in a
frequency cap of 2.2GHz not 2GHz.
The problem with the above calculation is that hwp_min of 7 is treated
as 0% in the range. But max_perf_pct is calculated with respect to minimum
as 0 and max as 3.2GHz or hwp_max, so adding hwp_min to it will result in
more than the desired.
Since the min_perf_pct and max_perf_pct is already a percent of max
frequency or hwp_max, this min/max HWP request value can be calculated
directly applying these percentage to hwp_max.
