After recent changes in intel_pstate, global.turbo_disabled is only set
at the initialization time and never changed. However, it turns out
that on some systems the "turbo disabled" bit in MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE,
the initial state of which is reflected by global.turbo_disabled, can be
flipped later and there should be a way to take that into account (other
than checking that MSR every time the driver runs which is costly and
useless overhead on the vast majority of systems).
For this purpose, notice that before the changes in question,
store_no_turbo() contained a turbo_is_disabled() check that was used
for updating global.turbo_disabled if the "turbo disabled" bit in
MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE had been flipped and that functionality can be
restored. Then, users will be able to reset global.turbo_disabled
by writing 0 to no_turbo which used to work before on systems with
flipping "turbo disabled" bit.
This guarantees the driver state to remain in sync, but READ_ONCE()
annotations need to be added in two places where global.turbo_disabled
is accessed locklessly, so modify the driver to make that happen.

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 reStructuredText 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.
