Rafael J. Wysocki de002c55ca cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix EPP setting via sysfs in active mode
Because intel_pstate_set_energy_pref_index() reads and writes the
MSR_HWP_REQUEST register without using the cached value of it used by
intel_pstate_hwp_boost_up() and intel_pstate_hwp_boost_down(), those
functions may overwrite the value written by it and so the EPP value
set via sysfs may be lost.

To avoid that, make intel_pstate_set_energy_pref_index() take the
cached value of MSR_HWP_REQUEST just like the other two routines
mentioned above and update it with the new EPP value coming from
user space in addition to updating the MSR.

Note that the MSR itself still needs to be updated too in case
hwp_boost is unset or the boosting mechanism is not active at the
EPP change time.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
