Subject: [patch 2/2] x86, acpi_cpufreq: do not clear aperf mperf MSR after read
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:53:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090220005517.811901000@linux-os.sc.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090220005352.674253000@linux-os.sc.intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: disable_aperf_mperf_writes_2629.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1925 bytes --]

Not write zeroes to APERF and MPERF by ondemand governor. With this other
users can share these MSRs during reads.
