Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] arm64: topology: fix arch_freq_get_on_cpu() overflow above 4.19 GHz
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 08:34:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910063440.4677-2-okerixx@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260910063440.4677-1-okerixx@gmail.com>

arch_freq_get_on_cpu() computes the product of the frequency scale and
the reference frequency as a u64, but assigns it to an unsigned int
before shifting it back down:

	freq = scale * arch_scale_freq_ref(cpu);
	freq >>= SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT;

The product is truncated to 32 bits before the shift, so the result
wraps once arch_scale_freq_ref() exceeds 2^32 / SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE,
i.e. 4194304 kHz.

On a Snapdragon X2 Elite (Glymur) laptop, whose boost OPP is 4723200
kHz, cpuinfo_avg_freq reports 524283 kHz instead of ~4723200 kHz while
the CPU demonstrably runs at the boost frequency: a fixed workload
completes in 1.72 s at the 4723200 kHz OPP versus 2.01 s at 4032000
kHz, matching the 1.171 frequency ratio.

Keep the arithmetic in 64 bits until after the shift.
