Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86, sched: Bail out of frequency invariance if turbo frequency is unknown
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2020 15:24:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200428132450.24901-3-ggherdovich@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200428132450.24901-1-ggherdovich@suse.cz>
There may be CPUs that support turbo boost but don't declare any turbo
ratio, i.e. their MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT is all zeroes. In that condition
scale-invariant calculations can't be performed.
Signed-off-by: Giovanni Gherdovich <ggherdovich@suse.cz>
