Hello Rui,

thanks for the report.

The problem you encountered is due to a bug where the code doesn't work on
machines with less than 4 physical CPU cores. It is fixed by this patch
series:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200416054745.740-1-ggherdovich@suse.cz/

The series has been merged in the branch sched/urgent of the "tip" tree
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git), the commit
fixing the bug you observed is 23ccee22e834 (x86, sched: Account for CPUs
with less than 4 cores in freq. invariance), and will be merged in Linus'
tree at some point.


Thanks,
Giovanni Gherdovich
