commit538b0188daupstream. Commit3c55e94c0a("cpufreq: ACPI: Extend frequency tables to cover boost frequencies") attempted to address a performance issue involving acpi-cpufreq, the schedutil governor and scale-invariance on x86 by extending the frequency tables created by acpi-cpufreq to cover the entire range of "turbo" (or "boost") frequencies, but that caused frequencies reported via /proc/cpuinfo and the scaling_cur_freq attribute in sysfs to change which may confuse users and monitoring tools. For this reason, revert the part of commit3c55e94c0aadding the extra entry to the frequency table and use the observation that in principle cpuinfo.max_freq need not be equal to the maximum frequency listed in the frequency table for the given policy. Namely, modify cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() to allow cpufreq drivers to set their own cpuinfo.max_freq above that frequency and change acpi-cpufreq to set cpuinfo.max_freq to the maximum boost frequency found via CPPC. This should be sufficient to let all of the cpufreq subsystem know the real maximum frequency of the CPU without changing frequency reporting.

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.
