3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Doug Smythies <doug.smythies@xxxxxxxxx> commit 51d211e9c334b9eca3505f4052afa660c3e0606b upstream. There was a mistake in the actual rounding portion this previous patch: f0fe3cd7e12d (intel_pstate: Correct rounding in busy calculation) such that the rounding was asymetric and incorrect. Severity: Not very serious, but can increase target pstate by one extra value. For real world work flows the issue should self correct (but I have no proof). It is the equivalent of different PID gains for positive and negative numbers. Examples: -3.000000 used to round to -4, rounds to -3 with this patch. -3.503906 used to round to -5, rounds to -4 with this patch.
