CPUfreq governors request CPU frequencies using information on current CPU usage. The CPPC driver converts them to performance requests. Frequency targets are computed as: target_freq = (util / cpu_capacity) * max_freq target_freq is then clamped between [policy->min, policy->max]. The CPPC driver converts performance values to frequencies (and vice-versa) using cppc_cpufreq_perf_to_khz() and cppc_cpufreq_khz_to_perf(). These functions both use two different factors depending on the range of the input value. For cppc_cpufreq_khz_to_perf(): - (NOMINAL_PERF / NOMINAL_FREQ) or - (LOWEST_PERF / LOWEST_FREQ) and for cppc_cpufreq_perf_to_khz(): - (NOMINAL_FREQ / NOMINAL_PERF) or - ((NOMINAL_PERF - LOWEST_FREQ) / (NOMINAL_PERF - LOWEST_PERF)) This means: 1- the functions are not inverse for some values: (perf_to_khz(khz_to_perf(x)) != x) 2- cppc_cpufreq_perf_to_khz(LOWEST_PERF) can sometimes give a different value from LOWEST_FREQ due to integer approximation 3- it is implied that performance and frequency are proportional (NOMINAL_FREQ / NOMINAL_PERF) == (LOWEST_PERF / LOWEST_FREQ) This patch changes the conversion functions to an affine function. This fixes the 3 points above.
