In some cases, the platform firmware disables or enables turbo frequencies for all CPUs globally before triggering a _PPC change notification for one of them. Obviously, that global change affects all CPUs, not just the notified one, and it needs to be acted upon by cpufreq. The intel_pstate driver is able to detect such global changes of the settings, but it also needs to update policy limits for all CPUs if that happens, in particular if turbo frequencies are enabled globally - to allow them to be used. For this reason, introduce a new cpufreq driver callback to be invoked on _PPC notifications, if present, instead of simply calling cpufreq_update_policy() for the notified CPU and make intel_pstate use it to trigger policy updates for all CPUs in the system if global settings change.

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.
