That's fair, but we may need to add such synchronization anyway due to
the bug I pointed out above, so it might be simpler to avoid introducing
additional state and simply stick to hwp_req_cached with proper
synchronization.

However intel_cpufreq_adjust_hwp() may never be executed afterwards if
intel_pstate is in active mode, in which case the overwritten value may
remain there forever potentially.

Still seems like there is a bug in intel_pstate_set_energy_pref_index()

In the non-HWP case we have a single P-state control so the question of
how to plumb an extra P-state control from the CPUFREQ governor seems
largely irrelevant.  The current interface seems fine as-is for such
systems.

That's precisely what I've been calling into question.  IIRC the
alternative power control methods we have discussed in the past are:

 - EPP: The semantics of this control are largely unspecified beyond
   higher values being more energy-efficient than lower values.  The set
   of energy efficiency optimizations controlled by it and the
   thresholds at which they become active are fully platform-specific.
   I guess you didn't mean this one as example of a more reliable and
   less platform-specific control.

 - RAPL: The semantics of this control are indeed well-defined, it's
   able to set an absolute average power constraint to the involved
   power planes.  However, the relationship between the information
   available to the kernel about a given workload (e.g. from CPU
   performance counters) and the optimal value of the RAPL constraints
   is highly platform-specific, requiring multiple iterations of
   adjustments and performance monitoring in order to approach the
   optimal value (unlike HWP_REQ_MAX since there is a simple,
   platform-independent relationship between observed frequency
   and... frequency -- More on that below).

 - P-code mailbox interface: Available to the graphics driver when GuC
   submission is in use, which is not available currently on any
   production platform.  It won't allow the energy efficiency
   optimization I'm proposing to be taken advantage of by discrete
   graphics nor IO devices other than the GPU.  Like HWP_REQ_MAX it sets
   a constraint on the CPU P-states so most caveats of HWP_REQ_MAX would
   apply to it too.  But unlike HWP_REQ_MAX it has global effect on the
   system limiting its usefulness in a multitasking environment.
   Requires a governor to run in a GPU microcontroller with more limited
   information than CPUFREQ.

So I'm either missing some alternative power control method or I
strongly disagree that there is a more reliable and platform-independent
alternative to HWP_REQ_MAX.

Right, which is why I found it surprising to hear the same point as a
counterargument against HWP_REQ_MAX.

It's not actually known, but it can be approximated easily under a
widely-applicable assumption -- More on that below.

If we define the instantaneous energy efficiency of a CPU (eta) to be
the ratio between its instantaneous frequency (f) and power consumption
(P), I want to be able to set a lower limit to that ratio in cases where
I can determine that doing so won't impact the performance of the
application:

|  eta_min <= eta = f / P

Setting such a lower limit to the instantaneous energy efficiency of the
processor can only lower the total amount of energy consumed by the
processor in order to perform a given amount of work (If you don't
believe me on that feel free to express it as the integral of P over
time, with P recovered from the expression above), therefore it can only
improve the average energy efficiency of the workload in the long run.

Because of the convex relationship between P and f above a certain
inflection point (AKA maximum efficiency ratio, AKA min_pstate in
intel_pstate.c), eta is monotonically decreasing with respect to
frequency above that point, therefore setting a lower limit to the
energy efficiency of the processor is equivalent to setting an upper
limit to its frequency within that range.

No, a race to idle response to a utilization spike would only be more
energy efficient than the performance-equivalent constant-frequency
response in cases where the latter constant frequency is in the
concavity region of the system's power curve (below the inflection
point).  I certainly don't want to prevent that from occurring when it's
the most energy-efficient thing to do.

Yes, I do.

No, limiting the processor frequency also imposes a limit to its energy
efficiency due to the reason explained above.

In the general case it would take a crystal ball to know the amount of
work the CPU is going to have to do in the future, however as soon as
the system has reached a steady state (which amounts to a large fraction
of the time and energy consumption of many workloads, therefore it's an
interesting case to optimize for) its previous behavior can be taken as
proxy for its future behavior (by definition of steady state), therefore
we can measure the performance delivered by the processor in the
immediate past and make sure that the governor's response doesn't
prevent it from achieving the same performance (plus some margin in
order to account for potential fluctuations in the workload).

That's, yes, an essentially heuristic assumption, but one that underlies
every other CPU frequency governor in the Linux kernel tree to a greater
or lower extent.

No, my ultimate goal is to optimize the energy efficiency of the CPU in
cases where the system has a bottleneck elsewhere.

Yes!

Yes, in order to make sure that limiting the maximum CPU frequency
doesn't lead to increased energy usage the response of the governor is
clamped to the convexity range of the CPU power curve (which yes, I'm
aware is only an approximation to the convexity range of the
whole-system power curve).

I don't see any need to care how much less power is drawn in absolute
terms, as long as the energy efficiency of the system is improved *and*
its performance is at least the same as it was before.

No, it comes from CPU performance counters -- More on that above.

Up to you.
