I know you saw the reply about this probably being fixed by
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200416054745.740-1-ggherdovich@xxxxxxx/
but it would be lovely if you could actually verify that that series
of four patches does indeed fix it for you.
Your oops is on that divide instruction:
freq_scale = div64_u64(acnt, mcnt);
and while we had a check for mcnt not being zero earlier, we did
mcnt *= arch_max_freq_ratio;
after that check. I could see it becoming zero either due to an
overflow, or due to arch_max_freq_ratio being 0.
I think the first commit in that series is supposed to fix that
arch_max_freq_ratio being 0 case, but it still feels like the code
that does the divide is checking for zero in the wrong place...
