[Update][PATCH v2 3/3] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Avoid triggering cpu_frequency tracepoint unnecessarily

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Fri Mar 03 2017 - 18:24:27 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

In the passive mode the cpu_frequency trace event is already
triggered by the cpufreq core or by scaling governors, so
intel_pstate should not trigger it once again for the same
P-state updates.

In addition to that, the frequency returned by
intel_cpufreq_fast_switch() and passed via freqs.new from
intel_cpufreq_target() to cpufreq_freq_transition_end() should
reflect the P-state actually set, so make that happen.

Fixes: 001c76f05b01 (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Generic governors support)

-> v2:
As mentioned in the changelog, the frequencies propagated to the
caller of intel_cpufreq_fast_switch() and to cpufreq_freq_transition_end()
should reflect the P-state that was set and not the requested
frequency (which may be different due to the global limits, rounding
etc).
