Processor Clocking Control (PCC) is an interface between the BIOS and OSPM.
Based on the server workload, OSPM can request what frequency it expects
from a logical CPU, and the BIOS will achieve that frequency transparently.
This patch introduces driver support for PCC. OSPM uses the PCC driver to
communicate with the BIOS via the PCC interface.
There is a Documentation file that provides a link to the PCC
Specification, and also provides a summary of the PCC interface.
Currently, certain HP ProLiant platforms implement the PCC interface. However,
any platform whose BIOS implements the PCC Specification, can utilize this
driver.
V2 --> V1 changes (based on Dominik's suggestions):
- Removed the dependency on CPU_FREQ_TABLE
- "cpufreq_stats" will no longer PANIC. Actually, it will not load anymore
because it is not applicable.
- Removed the sanity check for target frequency in the ->target routine.
NOTE: A patch to sanitize the target frequency requested by "ondemand" is
needed to ensure that the target freq < policy->min.
Can this driver be queued up for the 2.6.33 tree?

Easy fix for a regression introduced in 2.6.31.
On managed CPUs the cpufreq.c core will call driver->exit(cpu) on the
managed cpus and powernow_k8 will free the core's data.
Later driver->get(cpu) function might get called trying to read out the
current freq of a managed cpu and the NULL pointer check does not work on
the freed object -> better set it to NULL.
->get() is unsigned and must return 0 as invalid frequency.

Presently acpi-cpufreq will perform the MSR read on the first CPU in the
mask. That's inefficient if that CPU differs from the current CPU.
Because we have to perform a cross-CPU call, but we could have run the
rdmsr on the current CPU.
So switch to using the new smp_call_function_any(), which will perform the
call on the current CPU if that CPU is present in the mask (it is).

This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS
frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for
similar use-cases.
Why is this needed:
Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited.
People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have
happened by:
- any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq
- thermal limitations
- hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations
Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to:
- Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits
frequency
- Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs.
While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear
more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like
allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want
to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations.
All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch:
- powernow-k8
- powernow-k7
- acpi-cpufreq
Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1)
via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit:
# echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
2600000

Slightly modified by trenn@suse.de -> only do this on fam 10h and fam 11h.
Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but
according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value:
"CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid]
rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz."
As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems,
e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra:
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82
processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8: 0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz)
powernow-k8: 1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz)
powernow-k8: 2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz)
But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it
correctly:
#x86info -a |grep Pstate
...
Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz)
Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz)
Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current)
Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead
of using rounded values from ACPI table.

It turns out that 'smp_call_function_many()' doesn't work at all like
'smp_call_function_single()', and my change to Andrew's patch to use it
rather than a loop over all CPU's acpi-cpufreq doesn't work.
My bad.
'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"):
(a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses
smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()'
and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does.
(b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the
call on that CPU.
Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than
looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a
broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel. So let's just work around the
silly semantic bugs in that function.

We ended up incorrectly using '&cur' instead of '&readin' in the
work_on_cpu() -> smp_call_function_single() transformation in commit
01599fca67 ("cpufreq: use
smp_call_function_[single|many]() in acpi-cpufreq.c").
Andrew explains:
"OK, the acpi tree went and had conflicting changes merged into it after
I'd written the patch and it appears that I incorrectly reverted part
of 18b2646fe3 while fixing the resulting
rejects.
Switching it to `readin' looks correct."

work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demand
It seems that the kernel calls these acpi-cpufreq functions at a quite
high frequency.

his hardware.

Some BIOSes report very high frequency transition latency which are plainly
wrong on CPus that can change frequency using native MSR interface.
One such system is IBM T42 (2327-8ZU) as reported by Owen Taylor and
Rik van Riel.
cpufreq_ondemand driver uses this transition latency to come up with a
reasonable sampling interval to sample CPU usage and with such high
latency value, ondemand sampling interval ends up being very high
(0.5 sec, in this particular case), resulting in performance impact due to
slow response to increasing frequency.
Fix it by capping-off the transition latency to 20uS for native MSR based
frequency transitions.

Impact: reduce per-cpu size for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y

This reverts commit e088e4c9cd.
Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.
Course of action:
- Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
If it isn't, we need to fix that.
- mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
- try again with the removal in six months.
It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

powernow-k8 driver should always try to get cpufreq info from ACPI.
Otherwise it will not be able to detect the transition latency correctly
which results in ondemand governor taking a wrong sampling rate which will
then result in sever performance loss.
Let the user not shoot himself in the foot and always compile in ACPI
support for powernow-k8.
This also fixes a wrong message if ACPI_PROCESSOR is compiled as a module and
#ifndef CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR
path is chosen.
