![]() Currently the the config fragment for cpufreq enables a lot of generic lock debugging. While these options are useful when testing cpufreq they aren't actually required to run the tests and are therefore out of scope for the cpufreq fragement, they are more of a thing that it's good to enable while doing testing than an actual requirement for cpufreq testing specifically. Having these debugging options enabled, especially the mutex and spinlock instrumentation, mean that any build that includes the cpufreq fragment is both very much larger than a standard defconfig (eg, I'm seeing 35% on x86_64) and also slower at runtime. This is causing real problems for CI systems. In order to avoid building large numbers of kernels they try to group kselftest fragments together, frequently just grouping all the kselftest fragments into a single block. The increased size is an issue for memory constrained systems and is also problematic for systems with fixed storage allocations for kernel images (eg, typical u-boot systems) where it frequently causes the kernel to overflow the storage space allocated for kernels. The reduced performance isn't too bad with real hardware but can be disruptive on emulated platforms. In order to avoid these issues remove these generic instrumentation options from the cpufreq fragment, bringing the cpufreq fragment into line with other fragments which generally set requirements for testing rather than nice to haves.
