cpuinfo.max_freq can change at runtime because of boost as an example. This implies that the value could be different than the one that has been used when computing the capacity of a CPU. The new arch_scale_freq_ref() returns a fixed and coherent reference frequency that can be used when computing a frequency based on utilization. Use this arch_scale_freq_ref() when available and fallback to policy otherwise.

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.
