[patch 01/10] x86/aperfmperf: Dont wake idle CPUs in arch_freq_get_on_cpu()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Fri Apr 15 2022 - 15:20:15 EST


aperfmperf_get_khz() already excludes idle CPUs from APERF/MPERF sampling
and that's a reasonable decision. There is no point in sending up to two
IPIs to an idle CPU just because someone reads a sysfs file.
