The energy performance preference field of the CPPC request MSR
supports values from 0 to 255, but the strings only offer 4 values.
The other values are useful for tuning the performance of some
workloads.
Add support for writing the raw energy performance preference value
to the sysfs file. If the last value written was an integer then
an integer will be returned. If the last value written was a string
then a string will be returned.

The platform profile core allows multiple drivers and devices to
register platform profile support.
When the legacy platform profile interface is used all drivers will
adjust the platform profile as well.
Add support for registering every CPU with the platform profile handler
when dynamic EPP is enabled.
The end result will be that changing the platform profile will modify
EPP accordingly.

Dynamic energy performance preference changes the EPP profile based on
whether the machine is running on AC or DC power.
A notification chain from the power supply core is used to adjust EPP
values on plug in or plug out events.
When enabled, the driver exposes a sysfs toggle for dynamic EPP, blocks
manual writes to energy_performance_preference while it "owns" the EPP
updates.
For non-server systems:
* the default EPP for AC mode is `performance`.
* the default EPP for DC mode is `balance_performance`.
For server systems dynamic EPP is mostly a no-op.

intel_pstate docs uses standard reST construct (`Section title`_) for
cross-referencing sections (internal linking), rather than for external
links. Incorrect cross-references are not caught when these are written
in that syntax, however (fortunately docutils 0.22 raise duplicate
target warnings that get fixed in cb908f8b0a ("Documentation:

Convert the cross-references to use :ref: directive, which doesn't
exhibit this problem.

Fix reST warnings in
Documentation/admin-guide/pm/intel_pstate.rst caused by missing explicit
hyperlink labels for section titles.
Before this change, the following errors were printed during
`make htmldocs`:
Documentation/admin-guide/pm/intel_pstate.rst:401:
ERROR: Indirect hyperlink target (id="id6") refers to target
"passive mode", which is a duplicate, and cannot be used as a
unique reference.
Documentation/admin-guide/pm/intel_pstate.rst:517:
ERROR: Indirect hyperlink target (id="id9") refers to target
"active mode", which is a duplicate, and cannot be used as a
unique reference.
Documentation/admin-guide/pm/intel_pstate.rst:611:
ERROR: Indirect hyperlink target (id="id15") refers to target
"global attributes", which is a duplicate, and cannot be used as
a unique reference.
ERROR: Duplicate target name, cannot be used as a unique reference:
"passive mode", "active mode", "global attributes".
These errors occurred because the sections "Active Mode",
"Active Mode With HWP", "Passive Mode", and "Global Attributes"
did not define explicit hyperlink labels. As a result, Sphinx
auto-generated duplicate anchors when the same titles appeared
multiple times within the document.
Because of this, the generated HTML documentation contained
broken references such as:
`active mode <Active Mode_>`_
`passive mode <Passive Mode_>`_
`global attributes <Global Attributes_>`_
This patch adds explicit hyperlink labels for the affected sections,
ensuring all references are unique and correctly resolved.
After applying this patch, `make htmldocs` completes without
any warnings, and all hyperlinks in intel_pstate.html render properly.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Once again, the changes are dominated by cpufreq updates, but this
time the majority of them are cpufreq core changes, mostly related to
the introduction of policy locking guards and __free() usage, and
fixes related to boost handling.
Still, there is also a significant update of the intel_pstate driver
making it register an energy model when running on a hybrid platform
which is used for enabling energy-aware scheduling (EAS) if the driver
operates in the passive mode (and schedutil is used as the cpufreq
governor for all CPUs which is the passive mode default).
There are some amd-pstate driver updates too, for a good measure,
including the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option support and
new online/offline callbacks.
In the cpuidle space, the most significant change is the addition of a
C1 demotion on/off sysfs knob to intel_idle which should help some
users to configure their systems more precisely. There is also the
conversion of the PSCI cpuidle driver to a faux device one and there
are two small updates of cpuidle governors.
Device power management is also modified quite a bit, especially the
handling of devices with asynchronous suspend and resume enabled
during system transitions. They are now going to be handled more
asynchronously during suspend transitions and somewhat less
aggressively during resume transitions.
Apart from the above, the operating performance points (OPP) library
is now going to use mutex locking guards and scope-based cleanup
helpers and there is the usual bunch of assorted fixes and code
cleanups.

Tian)

This work had been triggered by a report that commit 0611a640e6
("eventpoll: prefer kfree_rcu() in __ep_remove()") had caused the
critical-jOPS metric of the SPECjbb 2015 benchmark [1] to drop by around
50% even though it generally reduced kernel overhead. Indeed, it was
found during further investigation that the total interrupt rate while
running the SPECjbb workload had fallen as a result of that commit by
55% and the local timer interrupt rate had fallen by almost 80%.
That turned out to cause the menu cpuidle governor to select the deepest
idle state supplied by the cpuidle driver (intel_idle) much more often
which added significantly more idle state latency to the workload and
that led to the decrease of the critical-jOPS score.
Interestingly enough, this problem was not visible when the teo cpuidle
governor was used instead of menu, so it appeared to be specific to the
latter. CPU wakeup event statistics collected while running the
workload indicated that the menu governor was effectively ignoring non-
timer wakeup information and all of its idle state selection decisions
appeared to be based on timer wakeups only. Thus, it appeared that the
reduction of the local timer interrupt rate caused the governor to
predict a idle duration much more often while running the workload and
the deepest idle state was selected significantly more often as a result
of that.
A subsequent inspection of the get_typical_interval() function in the
menu governor indicated that it might return UINT_MAX too often which
then caused the governor's decisions to be based entirely on information
related to timers.
Generally speaking, UINT_MAX is returned by get_typical_interval() if it
cannot make a prediction based on the most recent idle intervals data
with sufficiently high confidence, but at least in some cases this means
that useful information is not taken into account at all which may lead
to significant idle state selection mistakes. Moreover, this is not
really unlikely to happen.
One issue with get_typical_interval() is that, when it eliminates
outliers from the sample set in an attempt to reduce the standard
deviation (and so improve the prediction confidence), it does that by
dropping high-end samples only, while samples at the low end of the set
are retained. However, the samples at the low end very well may be the
outliers and they should be eliminated from the sample set instead of
the high-end samples. Accordingly, the likelihood of making a
meaningful idle duration prediction can be improved by making it also
eliminate low-end samples if they are farther from the average than
high-end samples.
Another issue is that get_typical_interval() gives up after eliminating
1/4 of the samples if the standard deviation is still not as low as
desired (within 1/6 of the average or within 20 us if the average is
close to 0), but the remaining samples in the set still represent useful
information at that point and discarding them altogether may lead to
suboptimal idle state selection.
For instance, the largest idle duration value in the get_typical_interval()
data set is the maximum idle duration observed recently and it is likely
that the upcoming idle duration will not exceed it. Therefore, in the
absence of a better choice, this value can be used as an upper bound on
the target residency of the idle state to select.

Since commit 18734958e9 ("intel_idle: Use ACPI _CST for processor models
without C-state tables") the intel_idle driver has had the ability to use
the ACPI _CST to populate C-states when the processor model is not
recognized.
However, even when the processor model is recognized (native mode) there
are cases where it is useful to make the driver ignore the per-CPU idle
states in lieu of ACPI C-states (such as specific application performance).
Add a new 'no_native' module parameter to provide this functionality.

Capacity-aware scheduling (CAS) is enabled by default by intel_pstate on
hybrid systems without SMT, but in some usage scenarios it may be more
attractive to place tasks for maximum CPU performance regardless of the
extra cost in terms of energy, which is the case on such systems when
CAS is not enabled, so introduce a command line option to forbid
intel_pstate to enable CAS.

Currently the CPUFreq core exposes two sysfs attributes that can be used
to query current frequency of a given CPU(s): namely cpuinfo_cur_freq
and scaling_cur_freq. Both provide slightly different view on the
subject and they do come with their own drawbacks.
cpuinfo_cur_freq provides higher precision though at a cost of being
rather expensive. Moreover, the information retrieved via this attribute
is somewhat short lived as frequency can change at any point of time
making it difficult to reason from.
scaling_cur_freq, on the other hand, tends to be less accurate but then
the actual level of precision (and source of information) varies between
architectures making it a bit ambiguous.
The new attribute, cpuinfo_avg_freq, is intended to provide more stable,
distinct interface, exposing an average frequency of a given CPU(s), as
reported by the hardware, over a time frame spanning no more than a few
milliseconds. As it requires appropriate hardware support, this
interface is optional.
Note that under the hood, the new attribute relies on the information
provided by arch_freq_get_on_cpu, which, up to this point, has been
feeding data for scaling_cur_freq attribute, being the source of
ambiguity when it comes to interpretation. This has been amended by
restoring the intended behavior for scaling_cur_freq, with a new
dedicated config option to maintain status quo for those, who may need
it.

Commit bf5835bcdb ("intel_idle: Disable IBRS during long idle")
disables IBRS when the cstate is 6 or lower. However, there are
some use cases where a customer may want to use max_cstate=1 to
lower latency. Such use cases will suffer from the performance
degradation caused by the enabling of IBRS in the sibling idle thread.
Add a "ibrs_off" module parameter to force disable IBRS and the
CPUIDLE_FLAG_IRQ_ENABLE flag if set.
In the case of a Skylake server with max_cstate=1, this new ibrs_off
option will likely increase the IRQ response latency as IRQ will now
be disabled.
When running SPECjbb2015 with cstates set to C1 on a Skylake system.
First test when the kernel is booted with: "intel_idle.ibrs_off":
max-jOPS = 117828, critical-jOPS = 66047
Then retest when the kernel is booted without the "intel_idle.ibrs_off"
added:
max-jOPS = 116408, critical-jOPS = 58958
That means booting with "intel_idle.ibrs_off" improves performance by:
max-jOPS: +1.2%, which could be considered noise range.
critical-jOPS: +12%, which is definitely a solid improvement.
The admin-guide/pm/intel_idle.rst file is updated to add a description
about the new "ibrs_off" module parameter.
