ok so the output of effective_cpu_util() seems correct or at least to maw utilization
value. In order to be correct, it means that arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) is not zero
because of :

unsigned long effective_cpu_util(int cpu, unsigned long util_cfs,
				 unsigned long *min,
				 unsigned long *max)
{
	unsigned long util, irq, scale;
	struct rq *rq = cpu_rq(cpu);

	scale = arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu);

	/*
	 * Early check to see if IRQ/steal time saturates the CPU, can be
	 * because of inaccuracies in how we track these -- see
	 * update_irq_load_avg().
	 */
	irq = cpu_util_irq(rq);
	if (unlikely(irq >= scale)) {
		if (min)
			*min = scale;
		if (max)
			*max = scale;
		return scale;
	}
..
}

If arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) returns 0 then effective_cpu_util() should returns
0 too.

Now see below

In get_next_freq(struct sugov_policy *sg_policy, unsigned long util, unsigned long max)

max is 0 and we comes from this path:

static void sugov_update_single_freq(struct update_util_data *hook, u64 time,
				     unsigned int flags)
{

..
	max_cap = arch_scale_cpu_capacity(sg_cpu->cpu);

	if (!sugov_update_single_common(sg_cpu, time, max_cap, flags))
		return;

	next_f = get_next_freq(sg_policy, sg_cpu->util, max_cap);
..

so here arch_scale_cpu_capacity(sg_cpu->cpu) returns 0 ...

AFAICT, AMD platform uses the default 
static __always_inline
unsigned long arch_scale_cpu_capacity(int cpu)
{
	return SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE;
}

I'm missing something here

Also we have in get_next_freq():
	freq = map_util_freq(util, freq, max);
	       --> util * freq /max

If max was 0, we should have been an error ?

There is something strange that I don't understand

Could you trace on the return of sugov_get_util()
the value of sg_cpu->util ?

Thanks for you help
