Make a note of the first time we discover the turbo mode has been
disabled by the BIOS, as otherwise we complain every time we try to
update the mode.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - Various NUMA scheduling updates: harmonize the load-balancer and
     NUMA placement logic to not work against each other. The intended
     result is better locality, better utilization and fewer migrations.

   - Introduce Thermal Pressure tracking and optimizations, to improve
     task placement on thermally overloaded systems.

   - Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86
     CPUs. This is done by observing and sampling the 'recent' CPU
     frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data
     via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity
     estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even
     if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency. (As
     usual, turbo mode is a complication that we resolve by observing
     the maximum frequency and renormalizing to it.)

   - Add asymmetric CPU capacity wakeup scan to improve capacity
     utilization on asymmetric topologies. (big.LITTLE systems)

   - PSI fixes and optimizations.

   - RT scheduling capacity awareness fixes &amp; improvements.

   - Optimize the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED constraints code.

   - Misc fixes, cleanups and optimizations - see the changelog for
     details"

<content type='text'>
The initial policy value set by intel_pstate_cpu_init() depends on
whether or not CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is set, but
that is not necessary, because the core will set the policy to
"performance" in cpufreq_init_policy() if the default governor is
"performance" anyway.

Accordingly, change intel_pstate_cpu_init() to always set policy
to CPUFREQ_POLICY_POWERSAVE initially to provide a valid fallback
value to cpufreq_init_policy() in case the default cpufreq governor
is neither "powersave" nor "performance".

The new macro set has a consistent namespace and uses C99 initializers
instead of the grufty C89 ones.

Get rid the of most local macro wrappers for consistency. The ones which
make sense for readability are renamed to X86_MATCH*.

In the centrino driver this also removes the two extra duplicates of family
6 model 13 which have no value at all.

There is still some code duplication between intel_pstate_verify_policy()
and intel_cpufreq_verify_policy(), so avoid it by moving the common
code into a separate function and calling it from both these places.

No intentional functional impact.

On some platforms such as the Dell XPS 13 laptop the firmware disables turbo
when the machine is disconnected from AC, and viceversa it enables it again
when it's reconnected. In these cases a _PPC ACPI notification is issued.

The scheduler needs to know freq_max for frequency-invariant calculations.
To account for turbo availability to come and go, record freq_max at boot as
if turbo was available and store it in a helper variable. Use a setter
function to swap between freq_base and freq_max every time turbo goes off or on.

<title>cpufreq: Avoid creating excessively large stack frames</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/BMC/Intel-BMC/linux.git/commit/?id=1e4f63aecb53e48468661e922fc2fa3b83e55722'/>
<id>urn:sha1:1e4f63aecb53e48468661e922fc2fa3b83e55722</id>
<content type='text'>
In the process of modifying a cpufreq policy, the cpufreq core makes
a copy of it including all of the internals which is stored on the
CPU stack.  Because struct cpufreq_policy is relatively large, this
may cause the size of the stack frame to exceed the 2 KB limit and
so the GCC complains when -Wframe-larger-than= is used.

In fact, it is not necessary to copy the entire policy structure
in order to modify it, however.

First, because cpufreq_set_policy() obtains the min and max policy
limits from frequency QoS now, it is not necessary to pass the limits
to it from the callers.  The only things that need to be passed to it
from there are the new governor pointer or (if there is a built-in
governor in the driver) the "policy" value representing the governor
choice.  They both can be passed as individual arguments, though, so
make cpufreq_set_policy() take them this way and rework its callers
accordingly.  This avoids making copies of cpufreq policies in the
callers of cpufreq_set_policy().

Second, cpufreq_set_policy() still needs to pass the new policy
data to the -&gt;verify() callback of the cpufreq driver whose task
is to sanitize the min and max policy limits.  It still does not
need to make a full copy of struct cpufreq_policy for this purpose,
but it needs to pass a few items from it to the driver in case they
are needed (different drivers have different needs in that respect
and all of them have to be covered).  For this reason, introduce
struct cpufreq_policy_data to hold copies of the members of
struct cpufreq_policy used by the existing -&gt;verify() driver
callbacks and pass a pointer to a temporary structure of that
type to -&gt;verify() (instead of passing a pointer to full struct
cpufreq_policy to it).

While at it, notice that intel_pstate and longrun don't really need
to verify the "policy" value in struct cpufreq_policy, so drop those
check from them to avoid copying "policy" into struct
cpufreq_policy_data (which allows it to be slightly smaller).

Also while at it fix up white space in a couple of places and make
cpufreq_set_policy() static (as it can be so).
