    x86: CPU: Fix up "cpu MHz" in /proc/cpuinfo · 941f5f0f
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    Commit 890da9cf (Revert "x86: do not use cpufreq_quick_get() for
    /proc/cpuinfo "cpu MHz"") is not sufficient to restore the previous
    behavior of "cpu MHz" in /proc/cpuinfo on x86 due to some changes
    made after the commit it has reverted.
    
    To address this, make the code in question use arch_freq_get_on_cpu()
    which also is used by cpufreq for reporting the current frequency of
    CPUs and since that function doesn't really depend on cpufreq in any
    way, drop the CONFIG_CPU_FREQ dependency for the object file
    containing it.
    
    Also refactor arch_freq_get_on_cpu() somewhat to avoid IPIs and
    return cached values right away if it is called very often over a
    short time (to prevent user space from triggering IPI storms through
    it).
