Rafael J. Wysocki f6ebbcf08f cpufreq: intel_pstate: Implement passive mode with HWP enabled
Allow intel_pstate to work in the passive mode with HWP enabled and
make it set the HWP minimum performance limit (HWP floor) to the
P-state value given by the target frequency supplied by the cpufreq
governor, so as to prevent the HWP algorithm and the CPU scheduler
from working against each other, at least when the schedutil governor
is in use, and update the intel_pstate documentation accordingly.

Among other things, this allows utilization clamps to be taken
into account, at least to a certain extent, when intel_pstate is
in use and makes it more likely that sufficient capacity for
deadline tasks will be provided.

After this change, the resulting behavior of an HWP system with
intel_pstate in the passive mode should be close to the behavior
of the analogous non-HWP system with intel_pstate in the passive
mode, except that the HWP algorithm is generally allowed to make the
CPU run at a frequency above the floor P-state set by intel_pstate in
the entire available range of P-states, while without HWP a CPU can
run in a P-state above the requested one if the latter falls into the
range of turbo P-states (referred to as the turbo range) or if the
P-states of all CPUs in one package are coordinated with each other
at the hardware level.

[Note that in principle the HWP floor may not be taken into account
 by the processor if it falls into the turbo range, in which case the
 processor has a license to choose any P-state, either below or above
 the HWP floor, just like a non-HWP processor in the case when the
 target P-state falls into the turbo range.]

With this change applied, intel_pstate in the passive mode assumes
complete control over the HWP request MSR and concurrent changes of
that MSR (eg. via the direct MSR access interface) are overridden by
it.
