Rafael J. Wysocki 538b0188da cpufreq: ACPI: Set cpuinfo.max_freq directly if max boost is known 
Commit 3c55e94c0a ("cpufreq: ACPI: Extend frequency tables to cover
boost frequencies") attempted to address a performance issue involving
acpi-cpufreq, the schedutil governor and scale-invariance on x86 by
extending the frequency tables created by acpi-cpufreq to cover the
entire range of "turbo" (or "boost") frequencies, but that caused
frequencies reported via /proc/cpuinfo and the scaling_cur_freq
attribute in sysfs to change which may confuse users and monitoring
tools.

For this reason, revert the part of commit 3c55e94c0a adding the
extra entry to the frequency table and use the observation that
in principle cpuinfo.max_freq need not be equal to the maximum
frequency listed in the frequency table for the given policy.

Namely, modify cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() to allow cpufreq
drivers to set their own cpuinfo.max_freq above that frequency and
change  acpi-cpufreq to set cpuinfo.max_freq to the maximum boost
frequency found via CPPC.

This should be sufficient to let all of the cpufreq subsystem know
the real maximum frequency of the CPU without changing frequency
reporting.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
