On modern Intel platforms, the intel_pstate driver is commonly used and
it provides turbo boost control via
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo.
However, cpupower doesn't handle this. it
1. shows turbo boost as "active" blindly for Intel platforms
2. controls turbo boost functionality via the generic
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost sysfs interface only.
Enhance the cpupower tool to ensure the "--boost" command works
seamlessly on Intel platforms with intel_pstate driver running.
Without this patch,
$ echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
1
$ sudo cpupower frequency-info --boost
analyzing CPU 21:
boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: yes
$ sudo cpupower set --boost 0
Error setting turbo-boost
$ sudo cpupower set --boost 1
Error setting turbo-boost
With this patch,
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
0
$ sudo cpupower set --boost 0
$ sudo cpupower frequency-info --boost
analyzing CPU 21:
boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: no
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo

$ sudo cpupower set --boost 1
$ sudo cpupower frequency-info --boost
analyzing CPU 28:

Supported: yes
Active: yes
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
