Rafael J. Wysocki e4c204ced0 cpufreq: intel_pstate: Avoid percentages in limits-related computations
Currently, intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() first converts the
policy minimum and maximum limits into percentages of the maximum
turbo frequency (rounding up to an integer) and then converts these
percentages to fractions (by using fixed-point arithmetic to divide
them by 100).

That introduces a rounding error unnecessarily, because the fractions
can be obtained by carrying out fixed-point divisions directly on the
input numbers.

Rework the computations in intel_pstate_hwp_set() to use fractions
instead of percentages (and drop redundant local variables from
there) and modify intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() to compute the
fractions directly and percentages out of them.

While at it, introduce percent_ext_fp() for converting percentages
to fractions (with extended number of fraction bits) and use it in
the computations.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
