If HWP has been already been enabled by BIOS, it may be
necessary to override some kernel command line parameters.
Once it has been enabled it requires a reset to be disabled.

I think hwp_active can be changed to bool and then it would make sense
to update this line.

Well, it wouldn't matter even if it were nonzero.  This check is just
pointless anyway.

This should be

if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_HWP) && intel_pstate_hwp_is_enabled()) {

It was just to keep it at 1, but I agree not absolutely needed.

Not at this point, in any testing I did.
But I do not know the authoritative answer
to your question.

Because it doesn't matter anyway and I would
have had to figure out another qualifier.
This way, and given that this executes once per
intel_pstate command line parameter, the code
executes the way it used to, overall.

Ah OK.  Fair enough.

You can do all of the checks in one conditional, though.  They will be
processed left-to-right anyway.

But then it would be good to avoid calling
intel_pstate_hwp_is_enabled() multiple times if it returns false.

And having said all that I'm not sure why you are trying to make
no_hwp depend on !hwp_active?  I will not be taken into account anyway
if intel_pstate_hwp_is_enabled() returns 'true'?

So if no_hwp is covered regardless, you may move the
intel_pstate_hwp_is_enabled() inside the no_load conditional.

Alternatively, and I would do that, intel_pstate_hwp_is_enabled()
could be evaluated earlier in intel_pstate_init() and if it returned
'true', both no_load and no_hwp would be disregarded.

O.K. and Thanks.
I was trying to avoid this line getting into the log:

[    0.000000] intel_pstate: HWP disabled

only to overridden later by, now, these lines:

[    0.373742] intel_pstate: HWP enabled by BIOS
[    0.374177] intel_pstate: Intel P-state driver initializing
[    0.375097] intel_pstate: HWP enabled

Let me see if I can go with your suggestion and get to
what I had hoped to get in the logs.

By the way, my current command line options are:

[    0.000000] Command line:
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.14.0-ipstate9
root=UUID=0ac356c1-caa9-4c2e-8229-4408bd998dbd
ro ipv6.disable=1 consoleblank=314 intel_pstate=force
intel_pstate=active intel_pstate=no_hwp
msr.allow_writes=on cpuidle.governor=teo

Disagree.
As far as I can tell, and I tested, it works as expected.
