Setting global turbo flag based on CPU 0 P-state limits is problematic as it limits max P-state request on every CPU on the system just based on its P-state limits. There are two cases in which global.turbo_disabled flag is set: - When the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_TURBO_DISABLE bit is set to 1 in the MSR MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE. This bit can be only changed by the system BIOS before power up. - When the max non turbo P-state is same as max turbo P-state for CPU 0. The second check is not a valid to decide global turbo state based on the CPU 0. CPU 0 max turbo P-state can be same as max non turbo P-state, but for other CPUs this may not be true. There is no guarantee that max P-state limits are same for every CPU. This is possible that during fusing max P-state for a CPU is constrained. Also with the Intel Speed Select performance profile, CPU 0 may not be present in all profiles. In this case the max non turbo and turbo P-state can be set to the lowest possible P-state by the hardware when switched to such profile. Since max non turbo and turbo P-state is same, global.turbo_disabled flag will be set. Once global.turbo_disabled is set, any scaling max and min frequency update for any CPU will result in its max P-state constrained to the max non turbo P-state. Hence remove the check of max non turbo P-state equal to max turbo P-state of CPU 0 to set global turbo disabled flag.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
