APERF/MPERF is utilized in two ways:

  1) Ad hoc readout of CPU frequency which requires IPIs

  2) Frequency scale calculation for frequency invariant scheduling which
     reads APERF/MPERF on every tick.

These are completely independent code parts. Eric observed long latencies
when reading /proc/cpuinfo which reads out CPU frequency via #1 and
proposed to replace the per CPU single IPI with a broadcast IPI.

While this makes the latency smaller, it is not necessary at all because #2
samples APERF/MPERF periodically, except on idle or isolated NOHZ full CPUs
which are excluded from IPI already.

It could be argued that not all APERF/MPERF capable systems have the
required BIOS information to enable frequency invariance support, but in
practice most of them do. So the APERF/MPERF sampling can be made
unconditional and just the frequency scale calculation for the scheduler
excluded.

The following series consolidates that.

Thanks,
