On Intel Emerald Rapids machines, we ship the Energy Performance Preference
(EPP) default for balance_performance as 128. However, during an internal
investigation together with Intel, we have determined that 32 is a more
suitable value. This leads to significant improvements in both performance
and energy:
POV-Ray: 32% faster | 12% less energy
OpenSSL: 12% faster | energy within 1%
Build Linux Kernel: 29% faster | 18% less energy
Therefore, we should move the default EPP for balance_performance to 32.
This is in line with what has already been done for Sapphire Rapids.

On some systems, the HWP (Hardware P-states) highest performance level
can change from the value set at boot-up. This behavior can lead to two
issues:
- The 'cpuinfo_max_freq' within the 'cpufreq' sysfs will not reflect
the CPU's highest achievable performance.
- Even if the CPU's highest performance level is increased after booting,
the CPU may not reach the full expected performance.
The availability of this feature is indicated by the CPUID instruction:
if CPUID[6].EAX[15] is set to 1, the feature is supported. When supported,
setting bit 2 of the MSR_HWP_INTERRUPT register enables notifications of
the highest performance level changes. Therefore, as part of enabling the
HWP interrupt, bit 2 of the MSR_HWP_INTERRUPT should also be set when this
feature is supported.
Upon a change in the highest performance level, a new HWP interrupt is
generated, with bit 3 of the MSR_HWP_STATUS register set, and the
MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES register is updated with the new highest performance
limit.
The processing of the interrupt is the same as the guaranteed performance
change. Notify change to cpufreq core and update MSR_HWP_REQUEST with new
performance limits.
The current driver implementation already takes care of the highest
performance change as part of:
commit dfeeedc1bf ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Update cpuinfo.max_freq
on HWP_CAP changes")
For example:
Before highest performance change interrupt:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
3700000
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
3700000
After highest performance changes interrupt:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
3900000
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
3900000

It is reported that single-thread performance on some hybrid systems
dropped significantly after commit 7feec7430e ("ACPI: CPPC: Only probe
for _CPC if CPPC v2 is acked") which prevented _CPC from being used if
the support for it had not been confirmed by the platform firmware.
The problem is that if the platform firmware does not confirm CPPC v2
support, cppc_get_perf_caps() returns an error which prevents the
intel_pstate driver from enabling ITMT. Consequently, the scheduler
does not get any hints on CPU performance differences, so in a hybrid
system some tasks may run on CPUs with lower capacity even though they
should be running on high-capacity CPUs.
To address this, modify intel_pstate to use the information from
MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES to enable ITMT if CPPC is not available (which is
done already if the highest performance number coming from CPPC is not
realistic).

After recent changes in intel_pstate, global.turbo_disabled is only set
at the initialization time and never changed. However, it turns out
that on some systems the "turbo disabled" bit in MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE,
the initial state of which is reflected by global.turbo_disabled, can be
flipped later and there should be a way to take that into account (other
than checking that MSR every time the driver runs which is costly and
useless overhead on the vast majority of systems).
For this purpose, notice that before the changes in question,
store_no_turbo() contained a turbo_is_disabled() check that was used
for updating global.turbo_disabled if the "turbo disabled" bit in
MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE had been flipped and that functionality can be
restored. Then, users will be able to reset global.turbo_disabled
by writing 0 to no_turbo which used to work before on systems with
flipping "turbo disabled" bit.
This guarantees the driver state to remain in sync, but READ_ONCE()
annotations need to be added in two places where global.turbo_disabled
is accessed locklessly, so modify the driver to make that happen.

Now that global.turbo_disabled can only change at the cpufreq driver

With the current scaling factor of 78741 (1.27x for converting frequency

The platform firmware can provide a balance performance EPP value by
enabling HWP and programming the EPP to the desired value.
However, currently this only takes effect for processors listed in
intel_epp_balance_perf[], so in order to enable a new processor model
to utilize this mechanism, that table needs to be updated. It arguably
should not be necessary to modify the kernel to work properly with
every new generation of processors, though, and distributions that don't
always ship the most recent kernels should be able to run reasonably well
on new hardware without code changes.
For this reason, move the check to avoid updating the EPP when the balance
performance EPP is unmodified from the power-up default of 0x80 after the
check that allows the firmware-provided balance performance EPP value to
be retrieved. This will cause the code to always look for the firmware-
provided value before consulting intel_epp_balance_perf[] and the handling
of new hardware will not depend on whether or not that thable has been
updated yet.

Setting global turbo flag based on CPU 0 P-state limits is problematic
as it limits max P-state request on every CPU on the system just based
on its P-state limits.
There are two cases in which global.turbo_disabled flag is set:
- When the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_TURBO_DISABLE bit is set to 1
in the MSR MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE. This bit can be only changed by
the system BIOS before power up.
- When the max non turbo P-state is same as max turbo P-state for CPU 0.
The second check is not a valid to decide global turbo state based on
the CPU 0. CPU 0 max turbo P-state can be same as max non turbo P-state,
but for other CPUs this may not be true.
There is no guarantee that max P-state limits are same for every CPU. This
is possible that during fusing max P-state for a CPU is constrained. Also
with the Intel Speed Select performance profile, CPU 0 may not be present
in all profiles. In this case the max non turbo and turbo P-state can be
set to the lowest possible P-state by the hardware when switched to
such profile. Since max non turbo and turbo P-state is same,
global.turbo_disabled flag will be set.
Once global.turbo_disabled is set, any scaling max and min frequency
update for any CPU will result in its max P-state constrained to the max
non turbo P-state.
Hence remove the check of max non turbo P-state equal to max turbo P-state
of CPU 0 to set global turbo disabled flag.

Some system BIOS configuration may provide option to disable E-cores.
As part of this change, CPUID feature for hybrid (Leaf 7 sub leaf 0,
EDX[15] = 0) may not be set. But HWP performance limits will still be
using a scaling factor like any other hybrid enabled system.
The current check for applying scaling factor will fail when hybrid
CPUID feature is not set and the only way to make sure that scaling
should be applied by checking CPPC nominal frequency and nominal
performance.
First, or systems predating Alder Lake, the CPPC nominal frequency and
nominal performance are 0, which can be used to distinguish those
systems from hybrid systems with disabled E-cores.
Second, if the CPPC nominal frequency and nominal performance are
defined, which indicates the need to use a special scaling factor, and
the nominal performance value multiplied by 100 is not equal to the
nominal frequency one, use hybrid scaling factor.
This can be done for all HWP systems without additional CPU model check.

This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more

The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of
them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other

- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes

Merge tag 'driver-core-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening
in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and
"struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these
changes.
This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules
for all busses and classes in the kernel.
The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most
of them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
things:
- kobject logging improvements
- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems"

The HWP IO boost results in slight improvements for IO performance on
both Ice Lake and Sapphire Rapid servers.
Currently there is a CPU model check for Skylake desktop and server along
with the ACPI PM profile for performance and enterprise servers to enable
IO boost.
Remove the CPU model check, so that all current server models enable HWP
IO boost by default.

Direct access to the struct bus_type dev_root pointer is going away soon
so replace that with a call to bus_get_dev_root() instead, which is what
it is there for.

Since commit 8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.
So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

While the majority of server OS distributions are deployed with the
"performance" governor as the default, some distributions like Ubuntu use
the "powersave" governor by default.
While using the "powersave" governor in its default configuration on
Sapphire Rapids systems leads to much lower power, the performance is
lower by more than 25% for several workloads relative to the
"performance" governor.
A 37% difference has been reported by www.Phoronix.com [1].
This is a consequence of using a relatively high EPP value in the
default configuration of the "powersave" governor and the performance
can be made much closer to the "performance" governor's level by
adjusting the default EPP value. Based on experiments, with EPP of 0x00,
0x10, 0x20, the performance delta between the "powersave" governor and
the "performance" one is around 12%. However, the EPP of 0x20 reduces
average power by 18% with respect to the lower EPP values.
[Note that raising min_perf_pct in sysfs as high as 50% in addition to
adjusting EPP does not improve the performance any further.]
For this reason, change the EPP value corresponding to the the default
balance_performance setting for Sapphire Rapids to 0x20, which is
straightforward, because analogous default EPP adjustment has been
applied to Alder Lake and there is a way to set the balance_performance
EPP value in intel_pstate based on the processor model already.
The goal here is to limit the mean performance delta between the
"powersave" governor in the default configuration and the "performance"
governor for a wide variety of server workloadsto to around 10-12%. For
some bursty workloads, this delta can be still large, as the frequency
ramp-up will still lag when the "powersave" governor is in use
irrespective of the EPP setting, because the performance governor always
requests the maximum possible frequency.

After making acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() use the "no limit"
value for its frequency QoS request when _PPC returns 0, it is not
necessary to replace the frequency corresponding to the first _PSS
return package entry with the maximum turbo frequency of the given
CPU in intel_pstate_init_acpi_perf_limits() any more, so drop the
code doing that along with the comment explaining it.

Users may disable HWP in firmware, in which case intel_pstate wouldn't load
unless the CPU model is explicitly supported.
