Re: intel_pstate divide error with v3.13-rc4-256-gb7000ad

Hi All,
Sorry for being late to the party but I just got back from vacation.
There is something deeply wrong here. We should have never gotten to
intel_pstate_init_cpu(). The VM had to have returned value from the read
of the max pstate at driver init time and 0 when the CPU was being brought up.
intel_pstate_msrs_not_valid() was added to solve this issue early on
if I remember correctly it was Josh that reported it then. Is there
a definative way to detect whether we are running in a VM?
Can some one tell me how the nested environment differs in regards to
reading MSRs?
TIA

Thanks Rafel, I can confirm this patch helps.
Awesome, thanks!
Below is an official version with a changelog. I'll queue it up as a fix
for 3.13.
Thanks,

Subject: intel_pstate: Fail initialization if P-state information is missing
If pstate.current_pstate is 0 after the initial
intel_pstate_get_cpu_pstates(), this means that we were unable to
obtain any useful P-state information and there is no reason to
continue, so free memory and return an error in that case.
This fixes the following divide error occuring in a nested KVM
guest:
Intel P-state driver initializing.
Intel pstate controlling: cpu 0
cpufreq: __cpufreq_add_dev: ->get() failed
divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP
