Subject: intel_pstate: Fail initialization if P-state information is missing
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 98a947abdd54e5de909bebadfced1696ccad30cf upstream.
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.
Intel pstate controlling: cpu 0
cpufreq: __cpufreq_add_dev: ->get() failed
divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP
