Added two utility functions to HWP boost up gradually and boost down to
the default cached HWP request values.
Boost up:
Boost up updates HWP request minimum value in steps. This minimum value
can reach upto at HWP request maximum values depends on how frequently,
this boost up function is called. At max, boost up will take three steps
to reach the maximum, depending on the current HWP request levels and HWP
capabilities. For example, if the current settings are:
If P0 (Turbo max) = P1 (Guaranteed max) = min
No boost at all.
If P0 (Turbo max) > P1 (Guaranteed max) = min
Should result in one level boost only for P0.
If P0 (Turbo max) = P1 (Guaranteed max) > min
Should result in two level boost:
(min + p1)/2 and P1.
If P0 (Turbo max) > P1 (Guaranteed max) > min
Should result in three level boost:
(min + p1)/2, P1 and P0.
We don't set any level between P0 and P1 as there is no guarantee that
they will be honored.
Boost down:
After the system is idle for hold time of 3ms, the HWP request is reset
to the default value from HWP init or user modified one via sysfs.
Caching of HWP Request and Capabilities
Store the HWP request value last set using MSR_HWP_REQUEST and read
MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES. This avoid reading of MSRs in the boost utility
functions.
These boost utility functions calculated limits are based on the latest
HWP request value, which can be modified by setpolicy() callback. So if
user space modifies the minimum perf value, that will be accounted for
every time the boost up is called. There will be case when there can be
contention with the user modified minimum perf, in that case user value
will gain precedence. For example just before HWP_REQUEST MSR is updated
from setpolicy() callback, the boost up function is called via scheduler
tick callback. Here the cached MSR value is already the latest and limits
are updated based on the latest user limits, but on return the MSR write
callback called from setpolicy() callback will update the HWP_REQUEST
value. This will be used till next time the boost up function is called.
In addition add a variable to control HWP dynamic boosting. When HWP
dynamic boost is active then set the HWP specific update util hook. The
contents in the utility hooks will be filled in the subsequent patches.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
