[PATCH 4/4] mwait-idle: add core C6 optimization for SPR
Posted by Jan Beulich 2 years, 7 months ago
From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

Add a Sapphire Rapids Xeon C6 optimization, similar to what we have for Sky Lake
Xeon: if package C6 is disabled, adjust C6 exit latency and target residency to
match core C6 values, instead of using the default package C6 values.

Make sure a contradictory "preferred-cstates" wouldn't cause bypassing
of the added logic.
