Subject[PATCH v2 linux-next 0/2] cpufreq: cpufreq_driver_lock is hot on large systems
Date
I am noticing the cpufreq_driver_lock is quite hot.
On an idle 512 system perf shows me most of the system time is spent on this
lock. This is quite significant as top shows 5% of time in system time.
My solution was to first convert the lock to a rwlock and then to the rcu.

v2: Rebase to linux-next

cpufreq: Convert the cpufreq_driver_lock to use the rcu
