The optional object _CPC declares an interface that allows OSPM to transition the processor into a performance state based on a continuous range of allowable values. It is associated with HWP on intel CPUs. Although Linux intel_pstate driver can have its performance managing abilities without _CPC, it may still need this _CPC table to implement some features such as providing the kernel multi-core scheduler with core priority info. As currently we are giving guests a vHWP interface for the multi-core scheduler, this patch adds _CPC to the guest ACPI. _CPC is written only when the hypervisor decides the guest should have vHWP, using the existing pm hypercall ACRN_PMCMD_GET_PX_CNT. The idea is: - If the VM supports vHWP, then the guest is having continuous p-state. Thus it doesn't have a specific px_cnt. The hypercall returns success and px_cnt = 0. - If the VM's p-state is hidden or hv doesn't have its p-state info, the hypercall returns fail.
