[PATCH v1 0/4] x86: Remove direct use of MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS

[Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

Hi,

here's v2 with some of Shuah's comments integrated.

If no one has anything against it, I'll route them all through tip.

Thx.

here's something from my todo list: remove all in-kernel tools use of
that MSR and lastly drop it from the allowed-MSRs-list in the filtering.

Out-of-tree tools should do a similar, trivial conversion.

Constructive comments are, as always, appreciated.

  tools/power/cpupower: Read energy_perf_bias from sysfs
  tools/power/turbostat: Read energy_perf_bias from sysfs
  tools/power/x86_energy_perf_policy: Read energy_perf_bias from sysfs
  x86/msr: Do not allow writes to MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS
