SubjectCONFIG_X86_INTEL_PSTATE disables CPU frequency transition stats, many governors and other standard features
Hello,

Just wanted to let everyone know that CONFIG_X86_INTEL_PSTATE wreaks
havoc with the CPU frequency subsystem in the Linux kernel.

With this option enabled:

1) All governors except performance and powersave are gone, ondemand
userspace, conservative

2) scaling_cur_freq is gone, thus user space utilities monitoring the CPU
frequency have stopped working

3) CPU frequency transition stats are gone, there's no "stats" directory
anywhere

4) scaling_available_frequencies is gone, so I cannot set the desired constant
CPU frequency (the userspace governor is not available anyway)

Is this an intended behavior? I shrivel to think that's the case.

The bug report is filed here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57141

Best regards,

Artem
