[PATCH 00/11] Support Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0

[Srinivas Pandruvada]

With Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 (ITMT), single-threaded performance is
optimized by identifying processor's fastest core and running critical workloads
on it.
Refere to:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/turbo-boost/turbo-boost-max-technology.html

This patchset consist of all changes required to support ITMT feature:
- Enhance CPPC ACPI lib to support x86
- Use CPPC information in Intel P-State driver to get performance information
- Scheduler enhancements

By default this feature is OFF, to turn on:

# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_itmt_enabled


Srinivas Pandruvada (7):
  acpi: cppc: Allow build with ACPI_CPU_FREQ_PSS config
  acpi: cpcc: Add integer read support
  acpi: cppc: Add support for function fixed hardware address
  acpi: cppc: Add prefix cppc to cpudata structure name
  acpi: bus: Enable HWP CPPC objects
  acpi: bus: Set _OSC for diverse core support
  cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use CPPC to get max performance

Tim Chen (4):
  sched, cpuset: Add regenerate_sched_domains function to rebuild all
    sched domains
  sched, x86: Add SD_ASYM_PACKING flags to x86 cpu topology for cpus
    supporting Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology
  sched: Extend scheduler's asym packing
  sched,x86: Enable Turbo Boost Max Technology
