Awesome, thanks! Below is an official version with a changelog. I'll queue it up as a fix for 3.13. Thanks, Rafael --- From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: intel_pstate: Fail initialization if P-state information is missing If pstate.current_pstate is 0 after the initial intel_pstate_get_cpu_pstates(), this means that we were unable to obtain any useful P-state information and there is no reason to continue, so free memory and return an error in that case. This fixes the following divide error occuring in a nested KVM guest: Intel P-state driver initializing.
