[PATCH 0/2] ACPI/CPPC: make policy-limit updates safe

[Christian Loehle]

Commit ea3db45ae476 ("cpufreq: cppc: Update MIN_PERF/MAX_PERF in target
callbacks") made cppc-cpufreq submit policy bounds from both target
callbacks. Two correctness issues remain in that path.

ACPI permits the CPPC controls to use different address spaces. Fast
switching can consequently enter the sleeping PCC path when DESIRED_PERF
is directly accessible but MIN_PERF or MAX_PERF is PCC-backed. Fix it by
doing the simple thing and only allowing fast-switch when all controls
are directly accessible.

The policy bounds are also read without the policy lock. Because the core
updates policy->min and policy->max separately, a lockless reader can form
an inverted pair. Patch 2 sanitizes that snapshot before converting it to
CPPC performance values.
