[ Upstream commit 5f5cc9ed992cbab6361f198966f0edba5fc52688 ] Once disable_freq_invariance_work is called the scale_freq_tick function will not compute or update the arch_freq_scale values. However the scheduler will still read these values and use them. The result is that the scheduler might perform unfair decisions based on stale values. This patch adds the step of setting the arch_freq_scale values for all cpus to the default (max) value SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE, Once all cpus have the same arch_freq_scale value the scaling is meaningless.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
