What the driver was doing was reporting the values given by ACPI tables in whatever scale was used to provide them. However, the ACPI spec defines the CPPC values as unitless abstract numbers. Internal kernel structures such as struct perf_cap, in contrast, expect these values to be in KHz. When these struct values get reported via sysfs, the user space tools also assume they are in KHz, causing them to report incorrect values (for example, reporting a CPU frequency of 1MHz when it should be 1.8GHz). While the investigation for a long term fix proceeds (several options are being explored, some of which may require spec changes or other much more invasive fixes), this patch forces the values read by CPPC to be read in KHz, regardless of what they actually represent. The downside is that this approach has some assumptions: (1) It relies on SMBIOS3 being used, *and* that the Max Frequency value for a processor is set to a non-zero value. (2) It assumes that all processors run at the same speed. This patch retrieves the first CPU Max Frequency from a type 4 DMI record that it can find. This may not be an issue, however, as a sampling of DMI data on x86 and arm64 indicates there is often only one such record regardless. For arm64 servers, this may be sufficient, but it does rely on firmware values being set correctly. Hence, other approaches are also being considered. This has been tested on three arm64 servers, with and without DMI, with and without CPPC support.
