[PATCH 2/3] sched: core: x86: query frequency at each tick

From: Redha Gouicem
Date: Tue Oct 20 2020 - 11:45:13 EST


Query the current frequency of the core during the scheduler tick.
The scheduler subsystem maintains its own copies of the aperf/mperf
structure because it will query the frequency more frequently than what
the cpufreq subsystem does. This can lead to inaccurate measurements,
but it is not problematic here.
