[PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix unchecked HWP MSR access

From: Srinivas Pandruvada
Date: Fri May 31 2024 - 19:00:23 EST


Fix unchecked MSR access error for processors with no HWP support. On
such processors, maximum frequency can be changed by the system firmware
using ACPI event ACPI_PROCESSOR_NOTIFY_HIGEST_PERF_CHANGED. This results
in accessing HWP MSR 0x771.

Call Trace:
<TASK>
generic_exec_single+0x58/0x120
smp_call_function_single+0xbf/0x110
rdmsrl_on_cpu+0x46/0x60
intel_pstate_get_hwp_cap+0x1b/0x70
intel_pstate_update_limits+0x2a/0x60
acpi_processor_notify+0xb7/0x140
acpi_ev_notify_dispatch+0x3b/0x60

HWP MSR 0x771 can be only read on a CPU which supports HWP and enabled.
Hence intel_pstate_get_hwp_cap() can only be called when hwp_active is
true.
