Subject: [Bug 111241] New: one need root credentials to read cpuinfo_cur_freq content
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 2016 09:16:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-111241-137361@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111241

            Bug ID: 111241
           Summary: one need root credentials to read cpuinfo_cur_freq
                    content
           Product: Power Management
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.4.0-994-generic
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: cpufreq
          Assignee: linux-pm@vger.kernel.org
          Reporter: flux242@gmail.com
        Regression: No

could somebody explain why do I need root credentials to read cpuinfo_cur_freq
file? Why other files in the same directory have 444 and not 400 as the
cpuinfo_cur_freq? What so special about the current cpu freq readings?  

$ lso /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/cpuinfo*
 400 -r-------- 1 root 4.0K Jan 24 09:30
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
 444 -r--r--r-- 1 root 4.0K Jan 24 09:37
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
