The cpufreq core only tries to create symbolic links from CPU directories in sysfs to policy directories in cpufreq_add_dev(), either when a given CPU is registered or when the cpufreq driver is registered, whichever happens first. That is not sufficient, however, because cpufreq_add_dev() may be called for an offline CPU whose policy object has not been created yet and, quite obviously, the symbolic cannot be added in that case. Fix that by making cpufreq_online() attempt to add symbolic links to policy objects for the CPUs in the related_cpus mask of every new policy object created by it. The cpufreq_driver_lock locking around the for_each_cpu() loop in cpufreq_online() is dropped, because it is not necessary and the code is somewhat simpler without it. Moreover, failures to create a symbolic link will not be regarded as hard errors any more and the CPUs without those links will not be taken offline automatically, but that should not be problematic in practice.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
