PPC64: where the CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo comes from?
Issue
If you can observe such entries in /proc/cpuinfo:
processor : 48
cpu : POWER8 (raw), altivec supported
clock : 3491.000000MHz
revision : 2.0 (pvr 004d 0200)
then the question is where the kernel reads the clock (i.e. frequency) value from?
