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 c5a2ee7d (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Active mode P-state limits rework) in 4.12. For example on a platform with max turbo ratio of 37 and minimum ratio of 10, the min_perf_pct resulted in 28 with the above commit. Before this commit it was 27 and it will be the same after this change.

When the governor is set to "performance", intel_pstate does not need the scheduler hook for doing any calculations. Under these conditions, its only purpose is to continue to maintain cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq. The cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq sysfs attribute is now provided by shared x86 cpufreq code on modern x86 systems, including all systems supported by the intel_pstate driver. So in "performance" governor mode, the scheduler hook can be skipped. This applies to both in Software and Hardware P-state control modes.

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.

Commit c5a2ee7d (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Active mode P-state limits rework) incorrectly assumed that pstate.turbo_pstate would always be nonzero for CPU0 in min_perf_pct_min() if cpufreq_register_driver() had succeeded which may not be the case in virtualized environments.

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().

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.

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.

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 checks global.no_turbo in addition to global.turbo_disabled when updating policy->cpuinfo.max_freq to make it consistent with intel_pstate_verify_policy().

In the active mode intel_pstate currently uses two sets of global limits, each associated with one of the possible scaling_governor settings in that mode: "powersave" or "performance". The driver switches over from one of those sets to the other depending on the scaling_governor setting for the last CPU whose per-policy cpufreq interface in sysfs was last used to change 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 a240c4aa (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 a240c4aa 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. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

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.

If the current P-state selection algorithm is set to "performance" in intel_pstate_set_policy(), the limits may be initialized from scratch, but only if no_turbo is not set and the maximum frequency allowed for the given CPU (i.e. the policy object representing it) is at least equal to the max frequency supported by the CPU. In all of the other cases, the limits will not be updated. For example, the following can happen: # cat intel_pstate/status active # echo performance > cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor # cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct 100 # echo 94 > intel_pstate/min_perf_pct # cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct 100 # cat cpufreq/policy0/scaling_max_freq 3100000 echo 3000000 > cpufreq/policy0/scaling_max_freq # cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct 94 # echo 95 > intel_pstate/min_perf_pct # cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct 95 That is confusing for two reasons. First, the initial attempt to change min_perf_pct to 94 seems to have no effect, even though setting the global limits should always work. Second, after changing scaling_max_freq for policy0 the global min_perf_pct attribute shows 94, even though it should have not been affected by that operation in principle. Moreover, the final attempt to change min_perf_pct to 95 worked as expected, because scaling_max_freq for the only policy with scaling_governor equal to "performance" was different from the maximum at that time. To make all that confusion go away, modify intel_pstate_set_policy() so that it doesn't reinitialize the limits at all. At the same time, change intel_pstate_set_performance_limits() to set min_sysfs_pct to 100 in the "performance" limits set so that switching the P-state selection algorithm to "performance" causes intel_pstate/min_perf_pct in sysfs to go to 100 (or whatever value min_sysfs_pct in the "performance" limits is set to later). That requires per-CPU limits to be initialized explicitly rather than by copying the global limits to avoid setting min_sysfs_pct in the per-CPU limits to 100. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

The code added to intel_pstate_verify_policy() by commit 1443ebba (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix sysfs limits enforcement for performance policy) should use perf_limits instead of limits, because otherwise setting global limits via sysfs may affect policies inconsistently. For example, in the sequence of shell commands below, the scaling_min_freq attribute for policy1 and policy2 should be affected in the same way, because scaling_governor is set in the same way for both of them: # cat cpufreq/policy1/scaling_governor powersave # cat cpufreq/policy2/scaling_governor powersave # echo performance > cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor # echo 94 > intel_pstate/min_perf_pct # cat cpufreq/policy0/scaling_min_freq 2914000 # cat cpufreq/policy1/scaling_min_freq 2914000 # cat cpufreq/policy2/scaling_min_freq 800000 The are affected differently, because intel_pstate_verify_policy() is invoked with limits set to &performance_limits (left behind by policy0) for policy1 and with limits set to &powersave_limits (left behind by policy1) for policy2. Since perf_limits is set to the set of limits matching the policy being updated, using it instead of limits fixes the inconsistency.

Commit 111b8b3f (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Always keep all limits settings in sync) changed intel_pstate to invoke cpufreq_update_policy() for every registered CPU on global sysfs attributes updates, but that led to undesirable effects in the active mode if the "performance" P-state selection algorithm is configufred for one CPU and the "powersave" one is chosen for all of the other CPUs. Namely, in that case, the following is possible: # cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/ # cat intel_pstate/max_perf_pct 100 # cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct 26 # echo performance > cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor # cat intel_pstate/max_perf_pct 100 # cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct 100 # echo 94 > intel_pstate/min_perf_pct # cat intel_pstate/min_perf_pct 26 The reason why this happens is because intel_pstate attempts to maintain two sets of global limits in the active mode, one for the "performance" P-state selection algorithm and one for the "powersave" P-state selection algorithm, but the P-state selection algorithms are set per policy, so the global limits cannot reflect all of them at the same time if they are different for different policies. In the particular situation above, the attempt to change min_perf_pct to 94 caused cpufreq_update_policy() to be run for a CPU with the "powersave" P-state selection algorithm and intel_pstate_set_policy() called by it silently switched the global limits to the "powersave" set which finally was reflected by the sysfs interface. To prevent that from happening, modify intel_pstate_update_policies() to always switch back to the set of limits that was used right before it has been invoked.

In the passive mode the cpu_frequency trace event is already triggered by the cpufreq core or by scaling governors, so intel_pstate should not trigger it once again for the same P-state updates. In addition to that, the frequency returned by intel_cpufreq_fast_switch() and passed via freqs.new from intel_cpufreq_target() to cpufreq_freq_transition_end() should reflect the P-state actually set, so make that happen.
