Wysocki When turbo has been disabled by the BIOS, but HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED is changed later, user space may want to take advantage of this increased guaranteed performance. HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED is not a static value. It can be adjusted by an out-of-band agent or during an Intel Speed Select performance level change. The HWP_CAP.MAX is still the maximum achievable performance with turbo disabled by the BIOS, so HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED can still change as long as it remains less than or equal to HWP_CAP.MAX. When HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED is changed, the sysfs base_frequency attribute shows the most recent guaranteed frequency value. This attribute can be used by user space software to update the scaling min/max limits of the CPU. Currently, the ->setpolicy() callback already uses the latest HWP_CAP values when setting HWP_REQ, but the ->verify() callback will restrict the user settings to the to old guaranteed performance value which prevents user space from making use of the extra CPU capacity theoretically available to it after increasing HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED. To address this, read HWP_CAP in intel_pstate_verify_cpu_policy() to obtain the maximum P-state that can be used and use that to confine the policy max limit instead of using the cached and possibly stale pstate.max_freq value for this purpose. For consistency, update intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() to use the maximum available P-state returned by intel_pstate_get_hwp_max() to compute the maximum frequency instead of using the return value of intel_pstate_get_max_freq() which, again, may be stale. This issue is a side-effect of fixing the scaling frequency limits in commit eacc9c5a927e ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix intel_pstate_get_hwp_max() for turbo disabled") which currected the setting of the reduced scaling frequency values, but caused stale HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED to be used in the case at hand.
