This one actually reads the values directly from the hardware underneath and so doesn't have permissions for everyone to do it. Whereas /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq gets the value which cpufreq core believes is currently set and so is readable by everybody. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cpufreq" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
