On Ice Lake server, there seems a bug when CONFIG_X86_INTEL_PSTATE=y and
not configure intel_pstate=xxx in command line.

Although the Performance tuner is used, the CPU have the lowest
frequency in scaling_cur_freq after the CPU goes offline and then goes
online, running the same infinite loop load.

How to produce:

echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu12/cpufreq/scaling_governor

cat while_true.c
#include <stdio.h>
void main(void)
{
        while(1);
}


[root@localhost freq_test]# cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/cpufreq/scaling_governor
taskset -c ${1} ./while_true &
sleep 1s

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/online

sleep 1s
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

sleep 1s

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/online
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

taskset -c ${1} ./while_true &

sleep 1s
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

sleep 1s
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
