From 0220d8e0bf9e30451670cea2aa340a7bc6b60fb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yair Podemsky Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2023 18:02:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/aperfmperf: Erase stale arch_freq_scale values when disabling frequency invariance readings [ Upstream commit 5f5cc9ed992cbab6361f198966f0edba5fc52688 ] Once disable_freq_invariance_work is called the scale_freq_tick function will not compute or update the arch_freq_scale values. However the scheduler will still read these values and use them. The result is that the scheduler might perform unfair decisions based on stale values. This patch adds the step of setting the arch_freq_scale values for all cpus to the default (max) value SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE, Once all cpus have the same arch_freq_scale value the scaling is meaningless.
