big.LITTLE switching complicates the setting of a correct cpufreq-based frequency invariance scale factor due to (as observed in drivers/cpufreq/vexpress-spc-cpufreq.c): - Incorrect current and maximum frequencies as a result of the exposure of a virtual frequency table to the cpufreq core, - Missed updates as a result of asynchronous frequency adjustments caused by frequency changes in other CPU pairs. Given that its functionality is atypical in regards to frequency invariance and this is an old technology, disable frequency invariance for when big.LITTLE switching is configured in to prevent incorrect scale setting.

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.
