This series adds support for frequency invariant accounting on AMD EPYC Zen2 (aka "Rome"). The first patch by Nathan lays out the foundation by querying ACPI infrastructure for the max boost frequency of the system. Specifically, this value is available via the CPPC machinery; the previous EPYC generation, namely Zen aka "Naples", doesn't implement that and frequency invariance won't be supported. The second patch sets the estimate for freq_max to be the midpoint between max_boost and max_P, as that works slightly better in practice. A side effect of this series is to provide, with the invariant schedutil governor, a suitable baseline to evaluate a (still work-in-progress) CPPC-based cpufreq driver for the AMD platform (see https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1562781484.git.Janakarajan.Natarajan@xxxxxxx if/when it will resubmitted.
