[PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use HYBRID_SCALING_FACTOR_ADL for Bartlett Lake

[PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use HYBRID_SCALING_FACTOR_ADL for Bartlett Lake

[Henry Tseng]

Bartlett Lake P-core only SKUs (e.g. Intel Core 9 273PE)
do not report X86_FEATURE_HYBRID_CPU and are not in
intel_hybrid_scaling_factor[].  In hwp_get_cpu_scaling(), the
non-hybrid fallback then applies core_get_scaling() (100000),
producing cpuinfo_max_freq values that exceed the documented Max
Turbo Frequency:

  intel_pstate: CPU0: PERF_CTL turbo = 57
  intel_pstate: CPU0: HWP_CAP guaranteed = 30
  intel_pstate: CPU0: HWP_CAP highest = 70
  intel_pstate: CPU0: HWP-to-frequency scaling factor: 100000
  intel_pstate: set_policy cpuinfo.max 7000000 policy->max 7000000
  ...
  intel_pstate: CPU12: PERF_CTL turbo = 57
  intel_pstate: CPU12: HWP_CAP guaranteed = 30
  intel_pstate: CPU12: HWP_CAP highest = 73
  intel_pstate: CPU12: HWP-to-frequency scaling factor: 100000
  intel_pstate: set_policy cpuinfo.max 7300000 policy->max 7300000
  ...

Per the Intel datasheet [1], the Intel Core 9 273PE specifies:

  Performance-cores:                                 12
  Efficient-cores:                                   0
  Max Turbo Frequency:                               5.7 GHz
  Intel Thermal Velocity Boost Frequency:            5.7 GHz
  Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 Frequency:    5.6 GHz
  Performance-core Max Turbo Frequency:              5.4 GHz
  Performance-core Base Frequency:                   2.3 GHz

Bartlett Lake P-cores are Raptor Cove cores, per
commit d466304c4322 ("x86/cpu: Add CPU model number for Bartlett
Lake CPUs with Raptor Cove cores").  The Alder Lake and Raptor Lake
P-core entries in intel_hybrid_scaling_factor[] use
HYBRID_SCALING_FACTOR_ADL (78741).  The same factor applies to
Bartlett Lake.

Add Bartlett Lake to intel_hybrid_scaling_factor[] with
HYBRID_SCALING_FACTOR_ADL so HWP performance levels map to the
correct CPU frequencies matching the datasheet's Max Turbo Frequency.

Do I understand correctly that

works for you?

Tentatively applied as 7.1-rc material, thanks!

With these patches applied, it works on Intel Core 9 273PE (Bartlett
Lake).  hybrid_get_cpu_type() returns 0 and cpuinfo_max_freq matches
the datasheet.
