From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 15:23:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 054/351] cpufreq: drop K8's driver from beeing selected Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=cd711b3f7f067737c313778a19f497b70348423b Ralf posted a picture of a backtrace from | powernowk8_target_fn() -> transition_frequency_fidvid() and then at the | end: | 932 policy = cpufreq_cpu_get(smp_processor_id()); | 933 cpufreq_cpu_put(policy); crashing the system on -RT. I assumed that policy was a NULL pointer but was rulled out. Since Ralf can't do any more investigations on this and I have no machine with this, I simply switch it off.
