When the hardware issues an HFI event, relay a notification to user space.
This allows user space to respond by reading performance and efficiency of
each CPU and take appropriate action.
For example, when the performance and efficiency of a CPU is 0, user space
can either offline the CPU or inject idle. Also, if user space notices a
downward trend in performance, it may proactively adjust power limits to
avoid future situations in which performance drops to 0.
To avoid excessive notifications, the rate is limited by one HZ per event.
To limit the netlink message size, send parameters for up to 16 CPUs in a
single message. If there are more than 16 CPUs, issue as many messages as
needed to notify the status of all CPUs.
In the HFI specification, both performance and efficiency capabilities are
defined in the [0, 255] range. The existing implementations of HFI hardware
do not scale the maximum values to 255. Since userspace cares about
capability values that are either 0 or show a downward/upward trend, this
fact does not matter much. Relative changes in capabilities are enough. To
comply with the thermal netlink ABI, scale both performance and efficiency
capabilities to the [0, 1023] interval.

When hardware wants to inform the operating system about updates in the HFI
table, it issues a package-level thermal event interrupt. For this,
hardware has new interrupt and status bits in the IA32_PACKAGE_THERM_
INTERRUPT and IA32_PACKAGE_THERM_STATUS registers. The existing thermal
throttle driver already handles thermal event interrupts: it initializes
the thermal vector of the local APIC as well as per-CPU and package-level
interrupt reporting. It also provides routines to service such interrupts.
Extend its functionality to also handle HFI interrupts.
The frequency of the thermal HFI interrupt is specific to each processor
model. On some processors, a single interrupt happens as soon as the HFI is
enabled and hardware will never update HFI capabilities afterwards. On
other processors, thermal and power constraints may cause thermal HFI
interrupts every tens of milliseconds.
To not overwhelm consumers of the HFI data, use delayed work to throttle
the rate at which HFI updates are processed. Use a dedicated workqueue to
not overload system_wq if hardware issues many HFI updates.

All CPUs in a package are represented in an HFI table. There exists an
HFI table per package. Thus, CPUs in a package need to coordinate to
initialize and access the table. Do such coordination during CPU hotplug.
Use the first CPU to come online in a package to initialize the HFI
instance and the data structure representing it. Other CPUs in the same
package need only to register or unregister themselves in that data
structure.
The HFI depends on both the package-level thermal management and the local
APIC thermal local vector. Thus, to ensure that a CPU coming online has an
associated HFI instance when the hardware issues an HFI event, enable the
HFI only after having enabled the local APIC thermal vector. The thermal
throttle driver takes care of the needed package-level initialization.

The Intel Hardware Feedback Interface provides guidance to the operating
system about the performance and energy efficiency capabilities of each
CPU in the system. Capabilities are numbers between 0 and 255 where a
higher number represents a higher capability. For each CPU, energy
efficiency and performance are reported as separate capabilities.
Hardware computes these capabilities based on the operating conditions of
the system such as power and thermal limits. These capabilities are shared
with the operating system in a table resident in memory. Each package in
the system has its own HFI instance. Every logical CPU in the package is
represented in the table. More than one logical CPUs may be represented in
a single table entry. When the hardware updates the table, it generates a
package-level thermal interrupt.
The size and format of the HFI table depend on the supported features and
can only be determined at runtime. To minimally initialize the HFI, parse
its features and allocate one instance per package of a data structure with
the necessary parameters to read and navigate a local copy (i.e., owned by
the driver) of individual HFI tables.
A subsequent changeset will provide per-CPU initialization and interrupt
handling.
