This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- artful' to 'verification-done-artful'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-failed- artful'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

The bug is that an error happens in CPU frequency reporting when nominal and min pstates are the same (cpufreq). Commit 3fa4680b8 fixes this issue. Commit 3fa4680b8 is in mailine as of v4.16-rc1 and has been cc'd to upstream stable. == Fix == commit 3fa4680b860bf48b437d6a2c039789c4abe202ae Author: Shilpasri G Bhat <shilpa.b...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Fri Jan 12 12:43:53 2018 +0530 cpufreq: powernv: Dont assume distinct pstate values for nominal and pmin == Regression Potential == Low. This commit been cc'd to upstream stable, so it has had additional upstream review. == Test Case == A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter. The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug. == Comment: #0 - Shilpasri G. Bhat +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #163527 +++ ---Problem Description--- Error in CPU frequency reporting when nominal and min pstates are same The patch for this issue is accepted to linux-next as 3fa4680b860bf48b437d6a2c039789c4abe202ae cpufreq: powernv: Dont assume distinct pstate values for nominal and pmin Some OpenPOWER boxes can have same pstate values for nominal and pmin pstates. In these boxes the current code will not initialize 'powernv_pstate_info.min' variable and result in erroneous CPU frequency reporting. This patch fixes this problem.
