From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wyso...@intel.com> If turbo P-states cannot be used, either due to the configuration of the processor, or because intel_pstate is not allowed to used them, the maximum available P-state with HWP enabled corresponds to the HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED value which is not static. It can be adjusted by an out-of-band agent or during an Intel Speed Select performance level change, so long as it remains less than or equal to HWP_CAP.MAX.
However, if turbo P-states cannot be used, intel_cpufreq_adjust_perf() always uses pstate.max_pstate (set during the initialization of the driver only) as the maximum available P-state, so it may miss a change of the HWP_CAP.GUARANTEED value. Prevent that from happening by modifyig intel_cpufreq_adjust_perf() to always read the "guaranteed" and "maximum turbo" performance levels from the cached HWP_CAP value. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
