intel_idle: add 'preferred_cstates' module argument
On Sapphire Rapids Xeon (SPR) the C1 and C1E states are basically mutually exclusive - only one of them can be enabled. By default, 'intel_idle' driver enables C1 and disables C1E. However, some users prefer to use C1E instead of C1, because it saves more energy. This patch adds a new module parameter ('preferred_cstates') for enabling C1E and disabling C1. Here is the idea behind it. 1. This option has effect only for "mutually exclusive" C-states like C1 and C1E on SPR. 2. It does not have any effect on independent C-states, which do not require other C-states to be disabled (most states on most platforms as of today). 3. For mutually exclusive C-states, the 'intel_idle' driver always has a reasonable default, such as enabling C1 on SPR by default. On other platforms, the default may be different. 4. Users can override the default using the 'preferred_cstates' parameter. 5. The parameter accepts the preferred C-states bit-mask, similarly to the existing 'states_off' parameter. 6. This parameter is not limited to C1/C1E, and leaves room for supporting other mutually exclusive C-states, if they come in the future. Today 'intel_idle' can only be compiled-in, which means that on SPR, in order to disable C1 and enable C1E, users should boot with the following kernel argument: intel_idle.preferred_cstates=4 Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
