[PATCH 1/2] powernow-k8: read P-state from HW

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



By definition, "cpuinfo_cur_freq" should report the value from HW. So, don't
depend on the cached value. Instead read P-state directly from HW, while
taking into account the erratum 311 workaround for Fam 11h processors.
