This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled powerpc/powernv/cpufreq: Fix the frequency read by /proc/cpuinfo to the 3.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: powerpc-powernv-cpufreq-fix-the-frequency-read-by-proc-cpuinfo.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Mon Dec 18 15:03:25 CET 2017 From: Shriya <shriyak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2017 10:06:41 +0530 Subject: powerpc/powernv/cpufreq: Fix the frequency read by /proc/cpuinfo From: Shriya <shriyak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit cd77b5ce208c153260ed7882d8910f2395bfaabd ] The call to /proc/cpuinfo in turn calls cpufreq_quick_get() which returns the last frequency requested by the kernel, but may not reflect the actual frequency the processor is running at. This patch makes a call to cpufreq_get() instead which returns the current frequency reported by the hardware.
