Srinivas Pandruvada b6e6f8beec cpufreq: intel_pstate: Update EPP for AlderLake mobile
There is an expectation from users that they can get frequency specified
by cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq when conditions permit. But with AlderLake
mobile it may not be possible. This is possible that frequency is clipped
based on the system power-up EPP value. In this case users can update
cpufreq/energy_performance_preference to some performance oriented EPP to
limit clipping of frequencies.

To get out of box behavior as the prior generations of CPUs, update EPP
for AlderLake mobile CPUs on boot. On prior generations of CPUs EPP = 128
was enough to get maximum frequency, but with AlderLake mobile the
equivalent EPP is 102. Since EPP is model specific, this is possible that
they have different meaning on each generation of CPU.

The current EPP string "balance_performance" corresponds to EPP = 128.
Change the EPP corresponding to "balance_performance" to 102 for only
AlderLake mobile CPUs and update this on each CPU during boot.

To implement reuse epp_values[] array and update the modified EPP at the
index for BALANCE_PERFORMANCE. Add a dummy EPP_INDEX_DEFAULT to
epp_values[] to match indexes in the energy_perf_strings[].

After HWP PM is enabled also update EPP when "balance_performance" is
redefined for the very first time after the boot on each CPU. On
subsequent suspend/resume or offline/online the old EPP is restored,
so no specific action is needed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
