Subject[PATCH 0/2] More frequency invariance fixes for x86
Date
Patch 1/2 prevents a division by zero in case the product
"delta_MPERF * arch_max_freq_ratio" overflows u64, as suggested by Linus at [1].
This patch supersedes the version at [2], as it also disables frequency
invariance when that overflow happens.

Patch 2/2 implements the recommendation by Ricardo Neri to check for an all
zero MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT and disable freq invariance in that case too.

x86, sched: Prevent divisions by zero in frequency invariant
accounting
x86, sched: Bail out of frequency invariance if turbo frequency is
unknown
