[UPDATE][PATCH v3 1/2] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Allow enable/disable energy efficiency
From: Srinivas Pandruvada
Date: Thu Jun 25 2020 - 18:50:03 EST
By default intel_pstate driver disables energy efficiency by setting
MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL bit 19 for Kaby Lake desktop CPU model in HWP mode.
This CPU model is also shared by Coffee Lake desktop CPUs. This allows
these systems to reach maximum possible frequency. But this adds power
penalty, which some customers don't want. They want some way to enable/
disable dynamically.
So, add an additional attribute "energy_efficiency_enable" under
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/ for these CPU models. This allows
to read and write bit 19 ("Disable Energy Efficiency Optimization") in
the MSR IA32_POWER_CTL.
This attribute is present in both HWP and non-HWP mode as this has an
effect in both modes. Refer to Intel Software Developer's manual for
details. The scope of this bit is package wide. Also these systems
support only one package. So read/write MSR on the current CPU is
enough.

v3 update
Moved the MSR bit definition to msr-index.h from intel_pstate.c as Doug
wanted. Offline checking with Borislav, for MSR defintion it is
fine to move to msr-index.h even for single user of the definition. But
here the MSR definition is already in msr-index.h, but adding the MSR bit
definition also.

+ "energy_efficiency" is disabled on these CPU models in HWP mode by this
