Hi Rafael,
Please pull these power utilities patches.
The x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility grows the ability to manage HWP.EPP (and Hardware P-states, in-general), on top of its previous ability to manage EPB.
Linux-4.11 grew the ability to disable the cpufreq sub-system entirely with "cpufreq.off=1". On such a system, this utility is a convenient way to enable HWP with no kernel cpufreq overhead:
sudo x86_energy_perf_policy --cpu all normal
During this effort, we noticed the EPP defaults hard-coded into the intel_state driver were not optimal, so those are updated too.
thanks! Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
