[PATCH v5 4/5] arm64: Update AMU-based frequency scale factor on entering idle
From: Beata Michalska
Date: Wed Apr 17 2024 - 05:40:44 EST
Now that the frequency scale factor has been activated for retrieving
current frequency on a given CPU, trigger its update upon entering
idle. This will, to an extent, allow querying last known frequency
in a non-invasive way. It will also improve the frequency scale factor
accuracy when a CPU entering idle did not receive a tick for a while.
As a consequence, for idle cores, the reported frequency will be the
last one observed before entering the idle state.
