[PATCH 1/2] pm: cpupower: Fix the snapshot-order of tsc,mperf, clock in mperf_stop()
From: Gautham R. Shenoy
Date: Thu Jun 12 2025 - 08:26:24 EST
In the function mperf_start(), mperf_monitor snapshots the time, tsc
and finally the aperf,mperf MSRs. However, this order of snapshotting
in is reversed in mperf_stop(). As a result, the C0 residency (which
is computed as delta_mperf * 100 / delta_tsc) is under-reported on
CPUs that is 100% busy.
Fix this by snapshotting time, tsc and then aperf,mperf in
mperf_stop() in the same order as in mperf_start().
