Subject[PATCH v2 0/3] More frequency invariance fixes for x86
Date
v1 at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200428132450.24901-1-ggherdovich@suse.cz/

changes wrt v1:

- add Peter Zijlstra's code to check for multiplication overflow, see
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200501133042.GE3762@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/
- put all frequence invariant code behind CONFIG_X86_64, as the overflow
checks need 64 bits operations, see the build error at
https://lists.01.org/hyperkitty/list/kbuild-all@lists.01.org/thread/7GDIBOMNVDG5W2XZD4EICE2TUZR3THBN/
- add additional patch to check for when base_freq > turbo_freq,
suggested by Peter Zijlstra at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200501130427.GD3762@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/

Cover Letter from v1:

Patch 1/2 prevents a division by zero in case the product
"delta_MPERF * arch_max_freq_ratio" overflows u64, as suggested by Linus at [1].
This patch supersedes the version at [2], as it also disables frequency
invariance when that overflow happens.

Patch 2/2 implements the recommendation by Ricardo Neri to check for an all
zero MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT and disable freq invariance in that case too.

Giovanni Gherdovich (3):
x86, sched: check for counters overflow in frequency invariant
accounting
x86, sched: Bail out of frequency invariance if turbo frequency is
unknown
x86, sched: Bail out of frequency invariance if turbo_freq/base_freq
gives 0
