[PATCH v3 0/2] cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: fix P-state index mismatch between perf->states[] and freq_table[]

[lirongqing]

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@xxxxxxxxx>

perf->state is an index into perf->states[], but freq_table[] is built by
skipping duplicate _PSS entries, so the two arrays no longer share an index
space. Using perf->state to index freq_table[] therefore reads the wrong
slot. This series fixes the two remaining places that do so.

Changes since v2:
- Reword patch 1;
- Rewrite patch 2, using perf->state to index perf->states[] (its native
  index space) instead of the deduplicated freq_table[]
- Fix the Fixes: tags to point at the actual commits that introduced each

Changes since v1:
- Reword patch 1: v1 described it as an out-of-bounds read, which is wrong;
  it is an index-mismatch / wrong-result bug, not a memory-safety issue.
- Add patch 2 for get_cur_freq_on_cpu().
- Add Fixes: tags (not exact, but reasonable backport targets).

Li RongQing (2):
  cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: fix P-state index mismatch in extract_io()
  cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: fix P-state index mismatch in
    get_cur_freq_on_cpu()
