Subject: [PATCH v6] arm64: topology: fix arch_freq_get_on_cpu() overflow above 4.19 GHz
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 14:56:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923125604.2482-1-okerixx@gmail.com> (raw)
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.
Shift the u64 product and narrow only at the return.

Changes in v6:
- Drop the cap_scale() change. As a u64 static inline in a shared
header it would cost future 32-bit callers a 64-bit multiply that the
macro did not (Will); the truncation is the unsigned int temporary, so
drop that and leave kernel/sched untouched. Will's Ack on v5 not
carried since the arm64 hunk changed.
- v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260917182059.2851-1-okerixx@gmail.com/
Changes in v5:
- cap_scale() as a static inline taking u64 in <linux/sched/topology.h>.
- Patch 2/2 of v4 dropped in favour of Ananthu C V's series.
