Since CPU hotplug callbacks are requested for CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN state,
successful callback initialization will result in cpuhp_setup_state()
returning a positive value. Therefore acpi_cpufreq_online being zero
indicates that callbacks have not been installed.

This means that acpi_cpufreq_boost_exit() should only remove them if
acpi_cpufreq_online is positive. Trying to call
cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls(0) will cause a BUG().

Updated documentation for the support of energy performance hint in
the HWP mode.

It is possible to provide hints to the HWP algorithms in the processor
to be more performance centric to more energy centric. These hints are
provided by using HWP energy performance preference (EPP) or energy
performance bias (EPB) settings.

The scope of these settings is per logical processor, which means that
each of the logical processors in the package can be programmed with a
different value.

This change provides cpufreq sysfs interface to provide hint. For each
policy, two additional attributes will be available to check and provide
hint. These attributes will only be present when the intel_pstate driver
is using HWP mode.

These attributes are:
 - energy_performance_available_preferences
 - energy_performance_preference

To get list of supported hints:
$ cat energy_performance_available_preferences
default performance balance_performance balance_power power

The current preference can be read or changed via cpufreq sysfs
attribute "energy_performance_preference". Reading from this attribute
will display current effective setting changed via any method. User can
write any of the valid preference string to this attribute. User can
always restore to power-on default by writing "default".

Implementation
Since these hints can be provided by direct MSR write or using some tools
like x86_energy_perf_policy, the driver internally doesn't maintain any
state. The user operation will result in direct read/write of MSR: 0x774
(HWP_REQUEST_MSR). Also driver use read modify write to update other
fields in this MSR.

Summary of changes:
 - struct cpudata field epp_saved is renamed to epp_powersave, as this
   stores the value to restore once policy is switched from performance
   to powersave to restore original powersave EPP value.
 - A new struct cpudata field epp_saved is used to store the raw MSR
   EPP/EPB value when a CPU goes offline or on suspend and restore on
   online/resume. This ensures that EPP value is restored to correct
   value irrespective of the means used to set.
 - EPP/EPB value ranges are fixed for each preference, which can be
   set for the cpufreq sysfs, so user request is mapped to/from this
   range.
 - New attributes are only added when HWP is present.
 - Since EPP value of 0 is valid the fields are initialized to
   -EINVAL when not valid. The field epp_default is read only once
   after powerup to avoid reading on subsequent CPU online operation
 - New suspend callback to store epp on suspend operation
 - Don't invalidate old epp_saved field on resume and online as now
   we can restore last epp value on suspend and this field can still
   have old EPP value sampled during switch to performance from
   powersave.
 - While here optimized setting of cpu_data->epp_powersave = epp in
   intel_pstate_hwp_set() as this was done in both true and false
   paths.
 - epp/epb set function returns error to caller on failure to pass
   on to user space for display.

Currently the minimal up_threshold is 11, and user may want to
use a smaller minimal up_threshold for performance tuning,
so MIN_FREQUENCY_UP_THRESHOLD could be set to 1 because:

1. Current systems wouldn't be affected as they have already
   a value >= 11.
2. New systems with a default kernel would keep still the default
   value that is >= 11.

Users now have the advantage that they can make their own decisions
and customize the 'trip point' to switch to the max frequency.

The online / pre_down callback is invoked on the target CPU since commit
1cf4f629 ("cpu/hotplug: Move online calls to hotplugged cpu") which means
for the hotplug callback we can use rmdsrl() instead of rdmsr_on_cpus().

This leaves us with set_boost() as the only user which still needs to
read/write the MSR on different CPUs. There is no point in doing that
update on all cpus with the read modify write magic via per cpu data. We
simply can issue a function call on all online CPUs which also means that we
need half that many IPIs.

The addition of the generic governor support marked the
intel_pstate_exit_perf_limits as inline(), which fixed a warning,
but it introduced another warning:

This changes it back to a 'void' return type, and changes the

be inline as well for consistency.

Even with round up of limits->min_perf and limits->max_perf, in some
cases resultant performance is 100 MHz less than the desired.

For example when the maximum frequency is 3.50 GHz, setting
scaling_min_frequency to 2.3 GHz always results in 2.2 GHz minimum.

Currently the fixed floating point operation uses 8 bit precision for
calculating limits->min_perf and limits->max_perf. For some operations
in this driver the 14 bit precision is used. Using the 14 bit precision
also for calculating limits->min_perf and limits->max_perf, addresses
this issue.

In some use cases, user wants to enforce a minimum performance limit on
CPUs. But because of simple division the resultant performance is 100 MHz
less than the desired in some cases.

For example when the maximum frequency is 3.50 GHz, setting
scaling_min_frequency to 1.6 GHz always results in 1.5 GHz minimum. With
simple round up, the frequency can be set to 1.6 GHz to minimum in this
case. This round up is already done to max_policy_pct and max_perf, so do
the same for min_policy_pct and min_perf.

There are two places in the cpufreq core in which low-level driver
callbacks may be invoked for an inactive cpufreq policy, which isn't
guaranteed to work in general.  Both are due to possible races with
CPU offline.

First, in cpufreq_get(), the policy may become inactive after
the check against policy->cpus in cpufreq_cpu_get() and before
policy->rwsem is acquired, in which case using it going forward may
not be correct.

Second, an analogous situation is possible in cpufreq_update_policy().

Avoid using inactive policies by adding policy_is_inactive() checks
to the code in the above places.

There may be reasons to use generic cpufreq governors (eg. schedutil)
on Intel platforms instead of the intel_pstate driver's internal
governor.  However, that currently can only be done by disabling
intel_pstate altogether and using the acpi-cpufreq driver instead
of it, which is subject to limitations.

First of all, acpi-cpufreq only works on systems where the _PSS
object is present in the ACPI tables for all logical CPUs.  Second,
on those systems acpi-cpufreq will only use frequencies listed by
_PSS which may be suboptimal.  In particular, by convention, the
whole turbo range is represented in _PSS as a single P-state and
the frequency assigned to it is greater by 1 MHz than the greatest
non-turbo frequency listed by _PSS.  That may confuse governors to
use turbo frequencies less frequently which may lead to suboptimal
performance.

For this reason, make it possible to use the intel_pstate driver
with generic cpufreq governors as a "normal" cpufreq driver.  That
mode is enforced by adding intel_pstate=passive to the kernel
command line and cannot be disabled at run time.  In that mode,
intel_pstate provides a cpufreq driver interface including
the ->target() and ->fast_switch() callbacks and is listed in
scaling_driver as "intel_cpufreq".

Currently, intel_pstate is unable to control P-states on my
IvyBridge-based Acer Aspire S5, because they are controlled by SMM
on that machine by default and it is necessary to request OS control
of P-states from it via the SMI Command register exposed in the ACPI
FADT.  intel_pstate doesn't do that now, but acpi-cpufreq and other
cpufreq drivers for x86 platforms do.

Address this problem by making intel_pstate use the ACPI-defined
mechanism as well.  However, intel_pstate is not modular and it
doesn't need the module refcount tricks played by
acpi_processor_notify_smm(), so export the core of this function
to it as acpi_processor_pstate_control() and make it call that.
[The changes in processor_perflib.c related to this should not
make any functional difference for the acpi_processor_notify_smm()
users].

To be safe, only call acpi_processor_notify_smm() from intel_pstate
if ACPI _PPC support is enabled in it.

Conservative governor changes the CPU frequency in steps.
That means that if a CPU runs at max frequency, it will need several
sampling periods to return to min frequency when the workload
is finished.

If the update function that calculates the load and target frequency
is deferred, the governor might need even more time to decrease the
frequency.

This may have impact to power consumption and after all conservative
should decrease the frequency if there is no workload at every sampling
rate.

To resolve the above issue calculate the number of sampling periods
that the update is deferred. Considering that for each sampling period
conservative should drop the frequency by a freq_step because the
CPU was idle apply the proper subtraction to requested frequency.

Below, the kernel trace with and without this patch. First an
intensive workload is applied on a specific CPU. Then the workload
is removed and the CPU goes to idle.

What's returned from this function is the delta by which the frequency
must be increased or decreased and not the final frequency that should
be selected.

Name it properly to match its purpose. Also update the variables used to
store that value.

lpstate_idx remains uninitialized in the case when elapsed_time
is greater than MAX_RAMP_DOWN_TIME.  At the end of rampdown the
global pstate should be equal to the local pstate.

Use get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load() to calculate target P-State for
devices, with the preferred power management profile in ACPI FADT
set to PM_MOBILE.

This may help in resolving some thermal issues caused by low sustained
cpu bound workloads. The current algorithm tend to over provision in this
case as it doesn't look at the CPU busyness.

Also included the fix from Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> to solve compile
issue, when CONFIG_ACPI is not defined.

Merge media fixes from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 "This contains two patches fixing problems with my patch series meant
  to make USB drivers to work again after the DMA on stack changes.

  The last patch on this series is actually not related to DMA on stack.
  It solves a longstanding bug affecting module unload, causing
  module_put() to be called twice. It was reported by the user who
  reported and tested the issues with the gp8psk driver with the DMA
  fixup patches. As we're late at -rc cycle, maybe you prefer to not
  apply it right now. If this is the case, I'll add to the pile of
  patches for 4.10.

  Exceptionally this time, I'm sending the patches via e-mail, because
  I'm on another trip, and won't be able to use the usual procedure
  until Monday. Also, it is only three patches, and you followed already
  the discussions about the first one"
