[2.6.38-rc7, patch] cpuinfo_cur_freq unreadable by non-root

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

 



I failed to find why
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq is only readable
by root; the cost of reading it isn't sufficient to cause memory or
scheduling denial, but may have been in the past.

Thus, allow non-root users read permission, consistent with other
attributes, allowing it to be monitored.
