Many developers found that the cpu current frequency is greater than
the maximum frequency of the platform, please see [1], [2] and [3].

In the scenarios with high memory access pressure, the patch [1] has
proved the significant latency of cpc_read() which is used to obtain
delivered and reference performance counter cause an absurd frequency.
The sampling interval for this counters is very critical and is expected
to be equal. However, the different latency of cpc_read() has a direct
impact on their sampling interval.

This patch adds a interface, cpc_read_arch_counters_on_cpu, to read
delivered and reference performance counter together. According to my
test[4], the discrepancy of cpu current frequency in the scenarios with
high memory access pressure is lower than 0.2% by stress-ng application.

[4] My local test:
The testing platform enable SMT and include 128 logical CPU in total,
and CPU base frequency is 2.7GHz. Reading "cpuinfo_cur_freq" for each
physical core on platform during the high memory access pressure from
stress-ng, and the output is as follows:

This statement is present in both branches, so can it be moved before the if ()?
Yes.
Do you mean adding a blank line before if()?
Sorry, I misunderstood you.
The statement "cnt->corecnt = read_corecnt();" cannot be moved before the if(). The AMU core and constant counter need to be read togeter without any time interval as described in code comments.
The this_cpu_has_cap() is time-consuming.
That is why I don't use the cpu_read_constcnt() to read constant counter.

The above is surely not applicable to every platform using CPPC.  Also

cpc_ffh_supported is aimed to control only the platform supported FFH to enter. cpc_read_arch_counters_on_cpu is also needed to implemented by each platform according to their require.
Here just implement this interface for arm64.

it looks like in the ARM64_WORKAROUND_2457168 enabled case it is just
pointless overhead, because "reference" is always going to be 0 here
then.
Right, it is always going to be 0 here for the ARM64_WORKAROUND_2457168 enabled case .
But ARM64_WORKAROUND_2457168 is a macro releated to ARM.
It seems that it is not appropriate for this macro to appear this common place for all platform, right?


Please clean that up.
