ACPI: Update the t-state for every affected cpu when t-state is changed
According to ACPI spec, the _TSD object provides T-state control cross logical processor dependency information to OSPM. So the t-state coordination should be considered when T-state for one cpu is changed. According to ACPI spec, three types of coordination are defined. SW_ALL, SW_ANY and HW_ALL. SW_ALL: it means that OSPM needs to initiate T-state transition on all processors in the domain. It is necessary to call throttling set function for all affected cpus. SW_ANY: it means that OSPM may initiate T-state transition on any processor in the domain. HW_ALL: Spec only says that hardware will perform the coordination and doesn't recommend how OSPM coordinate T-state among the affected cpus. So it is treated as the type of SW_ALL. It means that OSPM needs to initiate t-state transition on all the processors in the domain. Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
