cpuinfo.max_freq reflects the maximum supported frequency of cpus in a
cpufreq policy. When cpus support boost frequency and if boost is disabled
during boot up (which is the default), cpuinfo.max_freq does not reflect
boost frequency as the maximum supported frequency till boost is explicitly
enabled via sysfs interface later. This also means that policy reports two
different cpuinfo.max_freq before and after turning on boost.  Fix this by
separating out setting of policy->max and cpuinfo.max_freq in
cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo.

e.g. of the problem. Qualcomm sdm845 supports boost frequency for gold
cluster (cpus 4-7). After boot up (boost disabled),

1.  cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy4/cpuinfo_max_freq 2649600
<- This is wrong because boost frequency is

2.  echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost  <- Enable boost cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy4/cpuinfo_max_freq 2803200	<-
max freq reflects boost freq.

3.  echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost <- Disable boost cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy4/cpuinfo_max_freq 2803200	<-
Discrepancy with step 1 as in both cases boost is disabled.

Note that the other way to fix this is to set cpuinfo.max_freq in Soc
cpufreq driver during initialization. Fixing it in
cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo seems more generic solution

Something still isn't quite right...

The setup is that I have an rc.local of

#!/bin/sh

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost

exit 0


After booting and logging in:

steev@limitless:~$ cat 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy4/stats/time_in_state
825600 2499
<snip>
2649600 38
2745600 31
2841600 1473
2956800 0

After running a "cargo build --release" in an alacritty git checkout:

teev@limitless:~$ cat 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy4/stats/time_in_state
825600 11220
<snip>
2649600 41
2745600 35
2841600 3065
2956800 0


however...

If I then

steev@limitless:~$ echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost
[sudo] password for steev:
0
steev@limitless:~$ echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost
1

and run the build again...

steev@limitless:~$ cat 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy4/stats/time_in_state
825600 21386
<snip>
2649600 45
2745600 38
2841600 3326
2956800 4815

As a workaround, I attempted to jiggle it 1-0-1 in rc.local, however 
that ends up giving

steev@limitless:~$ cat 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy4/stats/time_in_state
825600 2902
<snip>
2649600 36
2745600 36
2841600 6050
2956800 13

And it doesn't go up, I even tried adding a sleep of 1 second between 
the echo 1/0/1 lines and while 2956800 goes up to 28 (but never uses it) 
it seems like, unless I do it manually once I've logged in, which I'm 
assuming is a lot slower than waiting 1 second between them, it's not 
quite giving us 2956800 "easily".

If the email wasn't clear, please let me know! I tried to explain as 
best I could what I am seeing here.

So after more testing... *sometimes* it works, with the jiggle, but not 
always.  I'm really not sure why though, so if there's any guidance, I'm 
all for it!

You need to keep the check of policy->max here and update policy->max,
else you will never run at boost freq. I think this is what Steev
reported as well ?

So basically something like this:

	if (policy->max < max_freq)
		policy->max = max_freq;

	if (policy->cpuinfo.max_freq < cpuinfo_max_freq)
		policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = cpuinfo_max_freq;

Hi Viresh,
	policy->max is unconditionally set to max_freq in the line before "if 
(policy->cpuinfo.max_freq < max_freq)". So this is not the issue Steev 
is reporting.
	policy->max = max_freq

Did you try debugging this ? As in did you read back boost and 
cpuinfo_max_freq at this point to ensure that everything is as expected ?

Hi Thara,

I did - sorry I forgot to mention that boost does show 1 for enabled and 
cpuinfo_max_freq is set to 2956800.  However, scaling_max_freq is still 
listed as 2841600 and scaling_available_frequencies still shows 2841600 
as the max available. scaling_boost_freqencies does also list 2956800.

Once it does start working (e.g. I've run echo 0 to turn off boost, and 
then echo 1 to turn it back one)

Notice that the scaling_max_freq is now 2956800 instead of 2841600 when 
it isn't working.

So the current code is not correct then :)
