Subject: intel_idle: disable NHM/WSM HW C-state auto-demotion
X-Git-Tag: Ubuntu-5.4-5.4.0-11.14~22887^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=14796fca2bd22acc73dd0887248d003b0f441d08;p=mirror_ubuntu-focal-kernel.git

intel_idle: disable NHM/WSM HW C-state auto-demotion

Hardware C-state auto-demotion is a mechanism where the HW overrides
the OS C-state request, instead demoting to a shallower state,
which is less expensive, but saves less power.

Modern Linux should generally get exactly the states it requests.
In particular, when a CPU is taken off-line, it must not be demoted, else
it can prevent the entire package from reaching deep C-states.
