Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64: topology: add source check in arch_cpu_idle_enter()
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 18:20:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810102006.9986-1-seanwang1@lenovo.com> (raw)

arch_cpu_idle_enter() directly calls amu_scale_freq_tick() to update
arch_freq_scale when a CPU enters idle. This bypasses the sft_data
pointer check that topology_clear_scale_freq_source() relies on.

As a result, even after calling topology_clear_scale_freq_source()
with SCALE_FREQ_SOURCE_ARCH to disable AMU-based frequency scaling,
the arch_freq_scale value can still be modified by AMU counters when
the CPU goes idle through the arch_cpu_idle_enter() path.

Add topology_scale_freq_source() helper to check whether a specific
frequency scaling source is currently registered for a CPU. Use it
in arch_cpu_idle_enter() to verify that AMU is the active source
before calling amu_scale_freq_tick().

This ensures that topology_clear_scale_freq_source() properly
disables AMU updates in both the tick path (already handled by
topology_scale_freq_tick()) and the idle path.
